Preface:

3-MeO-PCsBu (N-(butan-2-yl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexan-1-amine) is an extremely novel arylcyclohexylamine that has an unusual substitution on the nitrogen atom, namely a sec-butyl group. This introduces a stereocenter into the molecule so a resolution of the isomers could yield an R- and S-enantiomer which could have noticeably different pharmacokinetic/-dynamic properties which might be worth exploring separately. That having said my sample is racemic meaning both enantiomers are present in equal amounts.

At this point, I am probably the second person to have ever tried this compound and before I even go into this report I want to state that this substance is arguably a bit more dangerous than the available dissociatives on the market. I have sampled many arylcyclohexylamines but this one takes the cake for being the most manic, stimulating while being the least physically inebriating of them all. I am sure that my general mindset greatly influenced the trip, but please, if you ever get your hands on this make sure not to take it in public and be very responsible with your doses. If you‘ve done stupid shit on PCE/PCP analogs then stay away from this one.


Background information:


- sex: male
- age: 26
- weight: 78 kg
- setting: Airbnb, alone
- set: I am in a phase of personal growth, change, uncertainty and excitement. A lot of personal stuff is happening in my life at the moment and my emotional state has been wavering the last few weeks. Today, I feel good though and general boredom on a rainy day in a foreign country has sparked my interest in trying out a new dissociative.
- tolerance: I have dabbled with other dissociatives the last couple days, incl. PCP, PCiPr and 3-Me-PCiPr. I only took moderate amounts of these compounds though and had a few months before that where I abstained from all dissociatives. My last dose before this trial happened three days ago on 15mg PCiPr, which was a rich, liberating and personal experience. The night before, I took 7mg of 7-OH-Mitragynine and vaporized some Δ9-THC.

I received a 15mg capsule by another psychonaut friend who has tried and verified the authenticity of said compound. Their experience is limited to a handful of trials as well but they gave me 15mg thinking it would be enough for a decent experience. They remarked that this compound is more potent than 3-MeO-PCE. Considering that the person who gave it to me has a dissociative tolerance I decided to start small and work myself up.

3-MeO-PCsBu HCl (5mg+5mg, insufflated) / Trip Report:

T:00:00:
Open the capsule and dump the crystalline powder onto a paper plate. I finely crush it with a debit card and prepare 3 small piles that look similar in size. I roll up a paper straw and sniff one of the small piles, equating to about 5-6mg. It stings quite a bit, much worse than unsubstituted PCiPr which doesn‘t burn at all but way less than something like 3-Me-PCPy.

T:00:40:
I feel a slight mood boost and I‘m getting a bit restless but the effects are still mild and I‘m starting to become impatient so I snort another pile. The second insufflation hurts even more, might not go for the third.

T:00:55:
This is ramping up quite fast, I am starting to feel very stimulated. Literally no dissociation can be felt so far. Normally my limbs would feel cold and numb by now or I would experience at least some coordination issues but there is none of that. I am really enjoying this.

T:01:15:
This stuff is incredible, I can already see this becoming a favorite of mine. My thoughts are racing and I‘m filled with self-love and confidence. I can see that this could get out of hand easily if one were to take it frequently and in higher doses. Could quite possibly activate god-like delusions and completely derail your life. Treat with caution.

T:01:30:
I am home alone sitting on the couch listening to rap music casually envisioning narcissistic scenarios about money, power and lust. Normally the dissociation of other stimulating dissociatives makes it a bit harder to think clearly but this feels very authentic which is fascinating but intimidating at the same time.

02:00:
Music changes seemed to influence the high quite a bit but this still feels like it could lead to trouble more easily than other ACH‘s. I feel like a superstar and I am convinced I can reach anything that I want in life. A very empowering but headstrong feeling. Every hedonistic desire I have clashes with my conscience and my down-to-earth values. A very strange and divided feeling, but the ego-driven euphoria far outweighs the negative outcomes in my head. You could call it guilty pleasure. I dwell on emotional manipulation even though there is no real life example of this in my life that I can think of. Is this the revealed perspective of a pathological Machiavellist or an exaggerated, delusional mindset of a person on drugs. We‘ll find out once I‘m sober, I guess.

T:02:30:
The urge to redose is there but I am worried about it so I refrain from using the rest. The stimulation is strong and I am unsure what to make of the experience. I am even conflicted about reporting on this substance because I‘m not sure if it‘ll do more good than bad, or maybe it‘s all in my head and no one really cares. My mind is fleet, it seems organized but I‘m still unsure whether I can believe any of it. I guess this is what you could call mentally dissociated. Physically I am absolutely unaltered, it’s completely transparent.

T:03:00:
My thoughts are slowing down and my body is becoming more relaxed. I can put trust into my thoughts again and I am returning to my normal self. The ride is not over but the mania has toned down significantly. I kind of feel pretty neutral now which is funny when you consider the absurdity of it all just half an hour ago. Well, I‘m not too surprised, I‘ve experienced mania on a few occasions by now.

T:05:00:
Watched a few YT videos and reflected on the experience a bit. Considering the circumstances and changes in my life I am not really surprised why the trip developed in such a contradictory, almost bipolar fashion. Maybe I should abstain from such substances until I feel a bit more grounded. I guess that‘s the takeaway for now.


—————————————————————————

Conclusion:

This is a very fascinating substance, but surely nothing to take lightly. I guess it‘s evident from my report that necessary precautions should be taken to use this one safely. It‘s funny how real everything feels when you‘re engulfed in the experience and how everything loses its meaning once you come down. These stimulating dissociatives never seize to amaze me. As for comparisons, this one surpasses the mania of 3-MeO-PCP for me and doesn‘t come with physical dissociation. 3-MeO-PCE is a more lovely kind of mania that doesn’t feel as egotistical and godly, if that makes sense. This one surely can be a real troublemaker, quite possibly the most accurate drug to mimic schizophrenia in overtly high doses. Funnily enough, I am certainly tempted to try it again especially through other ROA‘s. Other analogs like PCsBu, 3-Me-PCsBu, 3-MeS-PCsBu, 3-F-PCsBU, 3-Cl-PCsBu, 3,4-MD-PCsBu, and so on could be fruitful follow-ups to further investigate the sec-butyl substitution and to deepen the knowledge about the SAR of arylcyclohexylamines. The 2‘-Oxo substitution would introduce another stereocenter so there would be 4 diastereomers that could lead to a variety of different stereoisomeric mixtures so things will get quite messy from here on.

Stay safe my fellow researchers! It‘s been a minute since I wrote a report, but for old sakes I had to write one for this novelty.

I'm wondering how much of the trip was shaped by the music, since you're also describing the content of a lot of rap music. Vs. how much of it is generated by the character of the drug. Always hard to separate these things, especially with something so brand new.

Really exciting that you're one of the first people to have ever sampled this.

It will be interesting to hear more about this one. Right now it sounds like the kind of drug that could trigger some raving lunacy if it got out of hand or in the wrong hands.
 
Fascinating!
Thanks for taking the risk for science :)

Definitely doesn't sound like the kind of dissociative I'd enjoy a lot.
I like the more sedating ones, which make you wanna lay down & cuddle.
 
Welp looks like another drugs been added to my wishlist of obscure shit I wanna try. Seriously this shit sounds hella cool great report dude.

I am wary of this one reaching the general public. I will hopefully have a report soon too. I have to say, while interesting, I did not enjoy this one at all and I am not eager to revisit it, but I will for science some day.
 
I think it's dangerous for a lot of people to induce persistent and unmitigated mania, I think it is a thing that could overpower a lot of people who don't approach this drug with strict intentionality and boundaries and generate intense delusions.
 
Thank you! I was just about to ask why people describe mania as a sought after experience. I have bipolar disorder and I guess I can see why some like mania. It can and a lot of times is euphoric and confidence inducing and productivity and energy. Admittedly I think that why I got so addicted to stimulants. It was instant mania. So actually I guess I can see why people seek that experience. I’m a hypocrite. I did.

But the last manic phase I induced was not the good kind. It was an anxious mania and severe at that and psychosis.

I had psychosis without the drug a week after my slip. I kept playing with my brain over the years with extreme doses of stims and idk I guess I thought I was invincible or passive suicide or something idk and now I have to work hard at staying stable. I hate mania anymore and just like drugs one day it will turn on one.

My sleep cycles are jacked and I only had one slip of abuse though it was maybe 350mg methylphenidate. So large dose. But it’s been maybe 3-4 weeks since I used. I get like 2 hours a night but I again I’m still manic. Just more hypo now.

Edit; I realize this isn’t the drug in OP but it’s relevant to my experience

My suspicion is that when people indicate seeking mania as a desirable effect of dissociative use, it's probably not true mania, but closer to hypomania. What seems to appeal to people is a combination of elevated mood (akin to hypomania/anti-depression) and altered cognition which could be either hypomanic (things feel weird and good) or it could be more akin to true mania (I have secret knowledge about the universe). All that being said, I don't think it's a 1:1 comparison between acute dissociative mania and bipolar mania.

I think it's dangerous for a lot of people to induce persistent and unmitigated mania, I think it is a thing that could overpower a lot of people who don't approach this drug with strict intentionality and boundaries and generate intense delusions.

I would agree. While the mood boost (of any dissociative) can have some beneficial effects, it can also create a false sense of self as well as a perverse incentive to use substances in a self-medicative sort of way. This could go fine, and it could also be really bad (I'm thinking of a trip report once where a guy was vaping Pyros and O-PCE every day for motivation and depressed mood... didn't end well) but what's tricky about the type of alterations that dissociatives create, is that they may be less outwardly obvious even if they're outwardly apparent. By that I mean... it can be difficult for others to recognize the side-effects of ongoing dissociative use, though they may recognize that *something* is off with the person using them. This can allow for warning signs to go unrecognized, especially since @Psychestim mentions how intoxicating this one *is not*.

Years ago I ran into trouble with 3-ho-pcp and 3-meo-pce... the first two non-ketamine dissociatives I explored. As I was accustomed to the overall intoxication that ketamine provided, I initially didn't recognize when my use of the PCP/PCEs were bleeding into the days after use. I happened to plan for a mushroom trip during this time which resulted in very strong synergy and a prolongation of the ego-inflating effects of both psilocybin and 3-ho-PCP. I started to worry people at my workplace who could sense that something wasn't right, but given that I didn't seem impaired at all, no one really knew what was going on. It tooks me several months to actually realize how my use of these things were impacting me, even on days I hadn't used anything. As they were less impairing, I didn't flag myself as 'under the influence' despite friends, colleagues, and loved ones indicating that there was something terribly wrong. I refused to acknowledge it until finally my partner broke up with me and moved out, and I almost lost my job. A wakeup call nonetheless.

What a Disso, thanks for warning i once took o-PCE,
Mistakenly thinking it would be somewhat like K, DCK, dMXE.
A non stim/ mania inducing one, i was wrong. You warned for these.

So I will repeat if this is even worse then o-PCE or other ...-PC... s,
the troubles this 1 can make being significant worse.
Should not be taken lightly, i had a seizure on o-PCE after the mania.
While on a anti-Epileptic, Levetiracetam nor Midazolam stopped it.

Btw i am not epileptic, but prone to seizure s apparently
