I think any kind of "dark Thoughts" is merely a point of view; life experience, (I read that; there for it must produce these kinds of thoughts). placebo Ring a bell!
I never get Dark thoughts! I also never watch scary movies nor belive/live that side of life. Then again i affirmative what i want out of a trip, beforehand. Set and settings is a must!
My reality / Dream is not the same as yours
With psychedliecs in general, I agree with the comments above. Set/setting are the most important determining factors to whether or not there's any 'dark' overtone or not. And this one's no exception. I can put on some 'dark' music and induce the feeling. However, I do think I posted follow up comments later in this thread about that fact that I do find dark orvertones on miprocin, but only when I push the doses really high. This is even when set/setting are NOT dark.
My sweet spot with miprocin is around 20mg and I don't get or think I've ever had dark feelings at this level. But you give me 26-30mg and it gets a dark overtone easily during the peak. Everytime I've tried the higher levels, it goes dark, regarless of set/setting. Personally I just think it's a property of the chemical when used at high levels(as a result of the sheer intensity), so these days I prefer to stay in the 20-22mg range instead. It's a much more enjoyable experience this way.
With the same music/set/setting as I always do, my last high dose (28mg with no tolerance) expererience confirmed this for me yet again. The entire trip was dark with thoughts of bad people, paranoia, I'm not going to get into details, but it was so real. I just don't think this chemical was meant to be experienced at this type of dosage. At least for me, I do much better staying 22mg and under. I've done acid at ridiculous levels when I was still in school (years ago), but it never had a dark overtone like this.
So yes, I feel set/setting are important. But I also feel dosage level (assuming no tolerance) is also important. I simply think this stuff turns 'dark' when you dose it too heavy. However, it's a great chemical and I do love it. I've even dosed it twice while in pretty heavy opiate WD and it was a very cleansing experience with the chemical being very forgiving. Of course this was at about the 20mg level.
I've learned my lessons with it and I just keep it at 22mg (max) or lower these days and everything is fine. No dark overtones at this level for me unless I try to induce it (music, etc). It also 'feels' much better at 20mg and under in my opinion. It doesn't 'feel' physically unsafe at high levels to me, but it becomes too mentally challenging to deal with these days when I try to take 26-28mg of it. It's just too draining at high levels. Maybe I'm just getting too old to have my ass-kicked that bad. I enjoy a good ass-kicking as much as the next person, but I don't need something that mentally challening at the high levels. This compound is much more pleasant when you keep it lower. My most memorable and life-changing trips were all 20mg or below.
So this isn't a dick-sizing thread. I've tried the higher levels multiple times and it's always turned dark on me. At lower levels, I've still had some experiences that were nothing short of miraculous during the peak. It's simply an incredible chemical.

I find no need to push the doses any longer. It's counterproductive with this chem to go too high im my opinoin.
I've experimented with this one enough to feel pretty confident in stating the dark overtones are dose-related and occur when you go too high. At least for me. And the doses I mention above are with no tolerance. Somebody with a heavy tolerance or who has been tripping too much can handle 28mg and not get dark overtones. Eating this type of dose with no tolerance has always been a dark experienece for me though. It simply gets too intense at the peak and the intensity is 'rerouted' into darkness in my opinion.
