I got 10g of this stuff, knowing that I'd like it. White, fine, odorless powder, but I'm waiting on marquis reagent in the mail. (According to dancesafe it has no reaction to marquis or the other standard tests besides the one that looks for primary amines.)
Night 1:
Took 120 mg orally, 10 mg nasally at T+0:00. Friend (we'll call her R) took 120 mg, no tolerance to any kind of stimulant. First alert felt at T+0:30. The effects built until about T+1:30 and plateued for maybe 30 minutes then dropped off. R started experiencing nervousness at about T:0:50, which persisted for 20 or 30 minutes, until serotonergic effects kicked in and abolished her anxiety. The high lasted longer for her than for me: off of that one dose, she felt euphoric, or at least good, until maybe T+6:00. I believe her nervousness and longer-lasting reward were the result of her having no amphetamine tolerance: since I have a rather large amphetamine tolerance, I was probably less susceptible to DA/NA release. It was also far more sedating for me, which makes sense with this theory. It was like the E pills I've had in the past, but slightly less intense (never tried pure MDMA). I had, however, recently stopped taking St. John's Wort so it's possible my receptors/transporters were still downregulated. At T+4:00 I snorted a total of 120 mg. The burn was not as bad as I was lead to believe, and quickly went away. Went to go socialize, and began to feel the effects. I found it intensely sedating. Suddenly, I noticed a visual change: the amount of visual static I saw jumped. Tracers became apparent. Someone asked me if I was okay, because apparently I looked like I was about to cry. Really, I was just incredibly relaxed and euphoric. This was at least as intense as the E pills I have taken. Upon entering a dark room, I immediately noticed simple patterns of bright colors. I have never experienced psychedelic effects from E. Again, this lasted for a few hours, then dropped off. I did not attempt to sleep until T+12:00, but at that point sleep was easily attained with the help of benzos.
Night 2:
The next night, I took it again. This time, 240 mg intranasally. This was probably more intense than the effects received upon the second dose the night before (not too much tolerance). Again, intensely sedating, but dancing was very fun. Intense euphoria while dancing, but eventually I didn't like the loud and dark environment around me though. I wanted to talk to people but could only dance. Sleep was easily achieved at T+11:00, though I still saw patterning as I closed my eyes.
Some notes:
1. I found myself attentive to the concerns of my friends even after the overt euphoria had vanished. Perhaps serotonin release is still present in the cortex at this point but not the basal ganglia?
2. The euphoria comes in very distinct waves. At the peaks the euphoria is one of the strongest I've experienced. At the valleys it's closer to baseline than it is to the peaks.
3. Though 4-FA does last a long time, I find that it's actually possible to sleep much earlier than it is with d-amp. I may still feel the effects, but be able to sleep regardless. I attribute this to comparatively low NA release.
4. What's up with this weird psychedelic effect? I've heard this mentioned only twice: on another forum, and the first page of this thread. (Haven't read through the rest of this thread.)
