Belize Jungle (or UK when I'm sober)
Substance: 2-(Ethylamino)-1-(4-methylphenyl)propan-1-one HCL or 4 MEC
Purity: 99.80%
Recent drug history: Mephedrone, Methylone, MDPV, MDMA, LSD, 2cb, 4-aco-dmt, MXE, 4-meo-pcp, Ketamine, Cocaine, GHB, GBL, 5-meo-mipt, 5-meo-dalt, aMT, 5-meo-dpt (EDIT: Sorry to get you excited - this was indeed supposed to be 5-meo-dipt ;))

Well, I've been meaning to try this one for a while now, having been a big (almost too big) a fan of Mephedrone. I've always had something more appealing available though, but when my mate who was due over this last few days said he'd rather not be around MDPV, I took the opportunity to buy 5g of 4 MEC from one of the most well known RC companies in Europe; known for it's quality & purity.

The product arrived in good time and had the appearance of very fine pure white crystals, with an odour slightly similar to Mephedrone.

I had done as much research as possible online, and I don't think I've ever come across a more conflicting series of trip reports; ranging from brilliant, better than Meph, to, dysphoric and avoid.

I couldn't find a consistent opinion for the life of me so I thought I'd post this as a subjective opinion from someone who did at one stage have a love affair with Mephedrone.

I'd heard that the insufflated ROA was marginally better that oral in terms of effects, and despite that I'd also heard the sting to be slightly more painful than Mephedrone, I cut out 5 lines, each of 150mg. I used to almost enjoy the nasal sensation of Mephedrone so didn't anticipate any problems, and was preparing myself for a nice solo session.

I sat back in my sofa and hoovered the first line. Within 10 seconds, I had scraped the remaining 4 lines back into the bag, where they belonged. The sting was terrible, and this is from someone who doesn't think 2cb is too bad. I timed it and it lasted a full 8 minutes. Not a drug for insufflating. Be warned.

T+0.10: Started to rush a little. A bit of jittery stimulation; a quivering bottom lip and a body surge reminiscent of Mephedrone. This is where the similarities stop though.
T+0.20: I feel quite sedated and a little dysphoric, but nothing overwhelming.
T+0.35: Another wave of stimulation, but not enjoyable. Nor was it unenjoyable. It was simply there.
T+0.45: Hints of euphoria, but again, nothing on the scale of nearly any other drug described as euphoric.
T+1.05: I fell asleep in front of the TV
T+2.00: I woke; walked upstairs and went to bed, and slept straight away. No recollection of dreams. No change of mood in the morning.

I didn't feel an urge to redose at any point; and nor was sleeping at all difficult. If anything, 4-MEC enabled it.

Not something I'm particularly excited about. I have no idea how people (especially on Erowid) have become attached to this drug. Neither do I understand the full weight of some people's negative views.

It's just a below-par drug, with very few benefits. I'll try an oral dose next week, either at 200mg, or 100mg followed by another 100mg. I've heard that high doses are recommended for this drug, but I have a feeling that this may be accomplished by a repeat dose of any size. The dynamics of the effects between stimulation and sedation would lend themselves favourably to a well timed repeat dose so that the stimulation of the second dose, coincides with the sedation of the first dose. I foresee this to be quite favourable. I don't personally believe this is dose related; but timing related.

Anyway, hope this provides a subjective view to what appears to be a very poorly reported substance.

Nice report! :) Sounds like caffeine is a better drug than 4-MEC.

Also, looking at your quite extensive history, I'm wondering if it is not a mistakenly missed "i" in the drug name, and you really tried 5-MeO-DPT. It would be great to hear even a brief overview of this drug.
