I definitely would not use the word lackluster to describe 4,4-DMAR. It was impressive without being overpowering. Or maybe just overpowering enough.

Actually I retract that statement. A gram in when the shadow people manifested it was kinda overpowering. This was so long ago i wasn't even aware of any deaths yet or even a recommended dose.
Yeah, sorry, I kind of misspoke there. I didn't mean to imply that the effects themselves are lackluster. True, they turned out to be anything but lackluster, leading to ~50 deaths in Europe (
Holland, Poland, the U.K. and Ireland).
I meant:
for those seeking 4-MAR's effects, like myself, 4,4'-DMAR did not deliver.
From
archive:
“Knowledge is emerging about the in vitro pharmacological properties of 4,4′-DMAR but it is difficult to predict potential drug interactions or contraindications. Briefly, as noted above, the ability of both cis- and trans-4,4′-DMAR to display potent monoamine transporter activity in vitro may be relevant when considering potential interactions with other substances that act on similar targets that affect dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin levels. For example, the use of substances including medicinal products, known to increase 5-HT-release and/or reuptake (such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), MDMA, mephedrone and cocaine) may increase the risk of developing serotonergic toxicity (often also referred to as serotonin syndrome). High dosage levels and/or combinations of 4,4′-DMAR with other catecholamine releasing agents (e.g. amphetamine-type stimulants) may lead to increasing risk of developing psychotic symptoms and agitation, while potentially dangerous cardiovascular effects could be produced by excessive norepinephrine release in the periphery. However, further studies are warranted to assess these effects in detail. There are no animal or human study data related to the toxicity, including median lethal dose (LD50), potential for self-administration, nor investigations on psychological and/or behavioural effects of 4,4′-DMAR. Self-reports available on user websites suggest that the effects of 4,4′- DMAR include euphoria, mental and physical stimulation, empathic effects and changes in visual perception.”

I'm glad you didn't wind up in the hospital with serotonin syndrome, homie; 4,4'-DMAR is dangerous. Fuckin' “serotoni” garbage…
