After synthesizing a sample of (5ξ)-1,2-O-[2,2,2-Tribromoethylidene]-α-xylo-hexofuranose (Otherwise called 'bromalose', a brominated acetal derivative of glucose, I set about testing this molecule on myself. I weigh 8st 9lbs and had taken no other psychoactive substance in the past 3 days, aside from caffeine that morning and small amounts of nicotine (I smoke home-rolled cigarettes). The time of the experience was 6.00pm. This molecule is not available through chemical suppliers and is pretty much unheard of in scientific literature, so I thought it would be worth giving this true 'research chemical' a try. Judging by analogues such as alpha-chloralose and chloral hydrate, I expected the effects to be CNS depression with alcohol-like stupor, here is the report:
+0.00 Dosed 150mg, the predicted threshold dose in a gel-cap, and waited.
+0.45 Effects similar to the effects of small amounts of alcohol were noted, with a slowing in reaction times, mild to moderate euphoria, and only a slight slowing in heartbeat.
+1.30 A marked stupor was noted, with intricate tasks seeming to require much effort, I found the task of rolling a cigarette to be extremely difficult and a process that usually takes 25 seconds required about ten minutes to complete.
+2.00 Another 100mg was taken and I sat down to watch television.
+3.25 I suddenly looked at the time realizing almost an hour and a half had gone without me noticing! When I got up to use the bathroom (only 5 yards down the hall), I found myself to be in a torpor, similar to that produced after ingesting around 20mg of Diazepam combined with a moderate amount of alcohol.
+11.00(ish) I woke up slumped against the door in my bathroom with little recollection of the events previous, after managing to crawl to my lounge I found the notebook with notes about the experience regarding the chemical that I'd taken, I then realized why I was crawling around my house early in the morning, feeling a little ashamed, I heaved myself onto the sofa and fell asleep for another six(ish) hours.
There was little hangover from this substance, I couldn't predict it's habit-forming properties since I only took two doses. The best way to describe it would be that the first three hours felt similar to alcohol, with a shot of a strong sedative at about three and a half hours, extreme amnesia, euphoria and loss of co-ordination were noted. Although I weigh very little for my height, the potency of this compound seems very high relative to Chloral Hydrate and Chloretone. Long-term effects on the body are not yet known, even though I could see some potential for recreational use/use as a sleep-aid or anti-anxylotic, in my opinion this chemical should stay as a chemical in the laboratory as it could have a whole host of side effects which are not yet known.
