My first trip report, so be nice. I felt more information was needed on this substance from different users.

5-10ml 2m2b

Hits in 10 mins or less

Clear headed drunken like state. I.e. All the physical effects of alcohol (slurred words, no co-ordination) but you essentially feel fine mentally. No euphoria to speak of.

This lasts far longer than regular alcohol, cannot give an exact time frame, as I normally pass out. But there is definitely a wonky-ish feeling the next day.

Tastes worse than GBL (even though it has a peppermint quality to it?), and can be smelt by others for a while afterwards but not as bad or obvious as regular ethanol.

I tried it as a functional Anxiolytic like GBL at work, but no such luck, i was very aware of how pissed i was, and so were a few other people.

I find that mixed with a couple of average proof beers (or similar) increases the intensity and enjoyment of the high (diminishes your tolerance to alcohol dramatically). Throw in a bong or two of some strong ‘erb then you’re away (make sure you’re tucked up in bed).

Re-dosing is possible just keep it low – around 5ml

There is a hangover (quite a strange feeling) but nothing compared to what I’ve experienced with regular alcohol.

Overall a pleasant experience,

A viable, less toxic and cheaper alternative to alcohol!

ENJOY!

Stay safe,

I've decided to go on Antabuse (Disulfiram) next month with my alcohol worker and doctor , does anyone know if this stuff will have the same effect as to when combined with alcohol?
 
From my understanding, 2-methyl-2-butanol is not catabolized primarily by conversion to the corresponding aldehyde and then acid, but rather glucuronidation and oxidation instead (to a dihydroxy alkane). I'm not confident enough in the chemistry for this to be acted upon.

Also, if you're currently in treatment for alcohol use, I'd think twice about using this compound.

Regardless of the chemistry, i do not believe that 2m2b will be helpful for alcohol abstinence. It will just be substituting one drug for another. I wish you all the best in beating the demon, that is alcohol. Good Luck!

Im willing to answer any 2m2b questions or quries and
Further 2m2b discussion welcome...............

Stay safe,

so this substance gets you f* up like alcohol, but without the mindset of it? whats the point then? the sole reason for drinking in the first place is to reduce inhibitions, not to get me walking funny..
 
I have only just recovered from dosing yesterday morning (I think 10ml in addition to 2-3 beers). I dont even think i've been hungover, just still under the influence of the 2m2b. Typing is really hard.
High strength cannabis potentiates this stuff incredibly, even the next day

how do you change the title to the thread? as this is not a 'viable alternative to alcohol'. Lasts way too long. Cheap though.

Careful people
 
To kingme

There is an alcohol-like buzz with this chemical but IMO ethanol is more euphoric and enjoyable to drink.

I should also mention that i have large tolerance to alcohol,as it is (70cl of 40% gets me were i need to be), but not sure if there's is a cross-tolerance

Average doseage:
5ml + 2-3 beers
or
7-10ml without alcohol
