4-aco-dmt report/experience disparity

After reading so many wonderful and intense reports about 4-aco, my boyfriend ordered 500mg.

We proceeded to have very different experiences of this rc than what we read. Whether this is body chemistry, or lack of trip reporters... I feel it is only fair to share our experience with others.

almost-Trip #1 Having no scale we started small. At a low dose, nothing happened, so we insufflated some more. Within 15 minutes of insufflation this rc gave us intense physical and mental anxiety. We sat in my room with knees to chest, only comforted by each other and The Beatles. Although there were some mild visuals, it was mostly a haze or fuzziness and it was difficult to even determine if we were tripping at all, save for all the anxiety.

Trip #2 We did about double the amount we had taken the first time, realizing the dose/effect gradient was supposed to be steep. No physical anxiety this time, nice visuals... very different from any I've ever seen. Things did not move and swell as much as LSD, but had the effect of peeling up off the walls, I saw edges of things curling up as if to reveal something. There was also a fuzziness, once again, and a new dimension to things. For instance, when I looked at my bathrobe hanging from a hook on the wall, it appeared as though there were someone invisible in it, as though the sleeves were full and empty at the same time.
Still yet, to our standards, this was a barely-trip.

Trip #3 Realizing this rc was obviously not as dangerous or intense as we had read, we got a hotel room with a friend and did most of the aco. This was a wonderful, strong (although not intense) and strange trip.
We walked across the street to the beach several times, skinny dipped, interacted with a search helicopter in the water, interacted in public and with each other throughout the night with no trouble. Visuals were mild at a distance, but looking at anything up close I feared overdose because of their intensity.
No ego-loss... not even close. Could remember my name, but had trouble discussing myself (like a low-dose of lsd), feeling as though such details were trivial and inconsequential.
Although this trip was completely free of any physical anxiety, it was as if my our minds were too intact to trip hard. The trip was too clear. This stradling of worlds, for all three of us, created a mental anxiety which we corrected throughout the night by insufflating oxycontin.
At the end of the night, there was little powder left, so it is safe to say we took "enough". We had no scale, but based on how much powder we had to start and how much we finished... this stuff is not as strong as it is made out to be. This is shocking, since every report we read told of 30mg trips that changed people forever. A 500mg bag and only 3 good trips and a little extra


4-aco-dmt was like all the side effects of tripping without that feeling of cleaning out your mind and soul. It was all the fun with none of the force. Lacked .innerspace & euphoria I have come to love in rolls, molly, psilocybin, lsd or dmt.

The fact that people could compare this drug to DMT confuses me. For myself and my friends it was quite the opposite end of the entheogenic spectrum.



In conclusion... this RC is not for heavy trippers. If you want a good time but don't want to explore your mind, this is the drug for you. No ego confrontation or confusion.

For me, and the others who joined me in these endeavors, this rc left out the most crucial element of any good trip... spending time with your mind.

Completely 100% disagree. 4-AcO-DMT can be just as ego shattering and deep as psilocin/LSD at the right doses or route of administration. As a matter of fact, my good friend who has tried everything that I have, had his one and only ++++ on 25mg IV.

Perhaps what you have is impure, you're dosing too low, or it's not 4-AcO-DMT.

Or perhaps you aren't taking into account the tolerance that comes with this compound, and 4-substituted tryptamines in general? Wait a week or two, then try again.
 
This is what I have read, psilocybonaut, however... I cannot deny my three experiences.

How did you feel about anxiey? I, personally, would never do this drug again without something to counteract it. It took a lot of contemplation for me to insufflate oxycontin while I was tripping on such an un-researched chemical, but once I did it my trip took a turn for the best. However, all the reports I read before dosing agreed that there was no anxiety with this stuff?
 
first, stop eyeballing chemicals. It is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. Buy a scale.



second, your experiences sound nothing like my 4-aco-dmt experiences. I agree with psilocybonaut, you may not have had 4-aco-dmt, or it was very impure, or something....

and in terms of anxiety, I have never had any. even when my scale fucked me over and I overdosed and blacked out.
 
There's a possibility what you took was actually 5-MeO-DALT. How far apart were these trips spaced apart anyhow?

And yeah, you really need to buy a scale to get a more detailed clue on intensity, and if we had details on exact doses, perhaps we would be able to guess the true identity of this compound.
 
This belongs in the Trip Reports forum

But I also have to disagree with this statement:

For me 4-Aco-DMT has been very deep and at times, unearthing. You should invest in a scale for future psychedelic use, it's really not a good idea to eyeball such small amounts of research chemicals.
 
I realize that having a trip report without dosages is lame, but I wanted to hear from others about this rc before buying any again or investing in a scale. I thought, perhaps, that people who have less than superb trips don't take the time to write it out, but if I asked for it, some would come up.

Fact is, we had a 500mg bag and it only gave us three decent trips (one trip/three people) with very little left over.

@fractal fountain - they were each a little over a week apart. I'm curious about your experience or knowledge of 5-meo-dalt... or why it is similar to my experience.

@Bardo - I thought about putting this in trip reports, but this is not merely a report, it is an inquiry. I am trying to investigate the disparity between reports and my experiences, not necessarily warn people. I'd like to know, if in fact we did not take 4-aco what we did take, and if we did take it, why the results were so different. Also trying to decide whether to invest with this rc site again


THANKS everyone for the participation
 
I'm aware of the dangers and responsibilities that come with drug use. I was warned if I posted this I would be scolded, but an experience is an experience and I wish to understand it all the same, regardless of how wild or dangerous a route I chose to take.

All the same, I will try again with a scale and I'm glad to hear that everyone consistently promotes 4-aco. I look forward to experiencing it as you all have.
 
I have personally never done 5-MeO-DALT, however it is well known that 5-meo-dalt is one of the weaker tryptamines out there, 5-MeO-DALT is just one of many possibilities for identity of what you actually took. But oral doses for that are pretty high... maybe you would be able to get 3 decent trips out of 500mg, but not as intense as 4-aco-dmt is truly known to be.

The thing is it would be impossible for anyone here to offer anything better than a guess as to what it was that you took. But seeing that you each took ~166mg I can say with almost absolute certainty that it was not 4-Aco-DMT. 25mg is quite intense ime, I imagine 166mg would render one catatonic.

166 mgs would have you fallen to your knees,crying for help for most people especially the non tolerant.
Yeah, there is no way in hell that was pure 4-AcO-DMT, or possibly not even 4-AcO-DMT at all... 100mg would have you in the fetal position, crying for help, if it was...

25-30mg should have been equal in strength to ~4 grams of Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms (though it is a little different than psilocin). There is just no way that happened with 500mg of 4-ACO-DMT and no tolerance.

I'm not going to insist you get a scale because you obviously know the risks and don't care. That kind of behavior really is irresponsible and will probably eventually lead to the scheduling of such glorious chemicals in the end. Sad it is.

*EDIT* It's probably good that you didn't have pure 4-ACO-DMT. You would probably have ended up in an emergency room with your dosing techniques. You definitely need a milligram scale (you can get one for $50 on ebay) to properly weigh this stuff. Really dude, you will regret it if you end up taking so much (and it is indeed pure 4-ACO-DMT) if you aren't used to doing 14+ grams of mushrooms at once...

Psilacetin is fantastic, one of the best RCs I've tried. I went as far as 45mg, and it was HEAVY. It induced tears and laughter. A smaller dose actually had me fearing for my soul. Very powerful chemical. Never tried DMT tho, so I can't compare.

Maybe what you mean about psilacetin as "lacking innerspace and euphoria" (I disagree with this) is that it isn't as recreational or traditional as other psychedelics. I found the effects tapered off as dosage increased, visuals and psychedelia were no more prominent. Or maybe I just became tolerant.

Or maybe the fact that you have no scale has caused all this confusion? That seems more likely to me. You "eyeball" an UNKNOWN quantity of psychoactive substance and then wonder why your experience was different than reports... and then ask for public opinion... ?

My opinion (unasked for) is don't half-ass it next time.
 
The effects the OP posted doesnt sound nothing like psilacetin. Two things psilacetin doesnt lack are innerspace and euphoria.
 
snorting that much 4acodmt should have you tripping pretty good.

for the record ~25 mg of the fumarate (weighed on not the greatest scale) was a very mild trip for me.
 
I would have to agree... no way that much was true 4-aco-dmt and did that little.

You were ripped off.

Also, swallowing it by mouth is quite sufficientt. comes up really fast, like you start to feel a VERY strong effect in 15--20 minutes. Some people even less.

WHY DOES EVERYONE FEEL THE NEED TO SNORT STUFF??!! I find it ridiculous and inane... people feel that they have to treat everything like cocaine and stuff it up their nose? Just seems so juvenile to me.

25mg oral is enough to have most people very out there, but some people that is to much and others that is too low and they seem to need closer to 40mg . Effects DO vary alot, some getting alot of visuals, some none; some feeling highly sedated, others stimulated... probably due to the differing levels of aminization and absorption of substances in the stomach, blood and brain between differing people and same person over time... resulting in differing conversion of the ACO portion of the molecule to HO, giving a widely varying time-scale and also balance of the combination of 4-aco-dmt with 4-ho-dmt causing al the differences in effects, I would bet.
 
Imo this happened partly because you snorted it, and most likely partly because you probably got it from someone/somewhere that wasn't legit. I've heard very disappointing reports when people have snorted it, at best it seems to have an equal potency but shorter duration to oral - at worst it seems to have very little/no effects.

Try oral next time, ~20-30mg, ensure your product is from a reliable vendor, and trust me, you'll have a very intense trip.

It might not be as visual (at least, not in terms of morphing, swirling etc) as some other psychedelics, but it is certainly an ego shattering experience. Also some of the OEVs are pretty unique and nice, like a lot of people see a lattice/grid of eyes overlaid across their vision.

Edit: In all honesty I wasn't reading it properly the first time around, now that I re-read it, I am 99% sure what you got was not 4-AcO-DMT. That sounds nothing like it at all.

^I find insufflated 4-Aco-DMT to be just as intense and rewarding as taking it orally. Infact, after a few trials snorting it is my prefered roa with this particular compound.
 
^I actually find it to be a worthwhile ROA on this substance. With the 2c's i'll only boost because of the burn/annoyance but I can snort 30 mgs of 4-aco-dmt with no irritation what so ever. Also no one else brought up the fact that this compound is dense so 20mgs of 4-aco-dmt looks like 5 or so of 2c-e(not a real comparison just ex.). I find these are slightly harder to eyeball.
