The following experience taught me a valuable lesson in drug safety and is the reason I will be using testing kits in the future. I post it only for the purpose of harm reduction and not to speculate on the identity of the unknown substance in question.
It was comprised of a pure white crystal like powder which was fairly dull in it's appearance and missing the glass like quality associated with MDMA crystal. It was unlike any MDMA I'd happened upon before and I suspected it might be a bogus chemical after examining the substance further when I got indoors, however as I'd spent all my money and I was bored I figured I'd rail a small line to see what happened. The line which was in the region of 80mgs produced no noticeable effects straight away but after 30 minutes I began to experience the onset of it's action. The first thing I noticed was my heart rate which had been normal one minute and then had suddenly increased very rapidly the next resulting in an unpleasant case of tachycardia and palpitations which would last the following 16-20 hours before finally easing into a more stable rhythm again. After this there was a sensation of tingling and lightness in my stomach which made me feel quite nauseous. I also began to feel my body temperature rising quite rapidly. At this point approximately 45 minutes after ingesting I was growing increasingly uncomfortable physically. The CNS action was insane, my breathing became very shallow, cardiac arrhythmia was present and I was extremely fidgety, restless and sweating heavily, yet I was able to remain calm and not panic - which I felt was just plain wrong considering I felt like my heart was about to explode at any minute - my BPM must have been somewhere in the region of 130-150bpm and was excruciatingly uncomfortable. Luckily these physical side effects seemed to reach a ceiling effect some 30 minutes or so after I first noticed the onset, my heart stabilized a little and and I was very relieved that I hadn't taken any more of the substance fearing there could have been the potential for some sort of mild to moderate hypertensive crisis, especially as I am quite sensitive to stimulating drugs! After this a pleasant buzz became increasingly evident and was reminiscent enough of MDMA to make me question whether the powder might have in fact contained some trace of pure but I remained unconvinced. A full hour after ingestion I was becoming more chatty, gurning nicely and my vision had become blurry but in a more psychedelic visual sense than the fun eye wobbling/double vision/misinterpreting objects type hallucinations I've come to associate with a real nice MDMA roll - and it was this bizarre change in vision which convinced me utterly that this substance was in no way shape or form MDMA. For a start the euphoria and empathonogenic qualities of this substance felt markedly more similar to regular amphetamine but somewhat stronger - that is not to say I didn't enjoy this aspect of the trip, it was just not what I expected. There was also a growing element of confusion and an inability to focus on more than one thing at once - which was also very similar to the kind of fun confusion experienced in the peak of an MDMA roll,yet there was no element of fun only frustration. This dodgy 'roll' lasted about 3-4 hours after which point I went home to try and sleep, but I had no such luck! This when I really began to regret taking this nasty little stim as when I got into bed I could still feel my heart beating way too fast and I knew very quickly that sleep would not be possible. I was having cold rushes every few minutes and my mind was racing way too fast, I began talking to myself and became increasingly paranoid unable to remain focused on anything. I could not even simply lie down and just enjoy the strange visuals because my my eyes were so sore with tiredness and still massively dilated 8-10 hours after ingestion. As the late evening turned into the early morning I began to feel I was losing the plot a little and began having some suicidal thoughts which I very rarely experience with any substance, not even when was I dosing DPH as frequently as 3-4 nights a week at one point did I experience any suicidal ideation, depersonolization? Yes, but this... this was something else, and the aftermath continued into the afternoon. I felt unable to communicate with anyone properly and quickly lost track of any conversation I was having, as such I was unable to do anything other than sit in my bedroom tottering on what felt like the verge of insanity whilst the comedown continued to feel more and more severe and unpleasent - and yet even as I was experiencing the comedown it was still producing some moderate physical stimulation some 24 hours after ingestion! Still I could not sleep and I began to realize I could not handle much more of the sort of thoughts I was having and the speed at which they were assaulting my conscious. Fortunately I was able to get to sleep around 10 in the evening and slept for 4 hours after which I awoke still stimulated but feeling re-markedly better mentally and glowy which was actually quite fun and far more enjoyable than the trip had been. I suspect this substance might have been Piperazine class, synthetic cathinone or PMA but I can only speculate - the truth is it it could have been one of any number of substances or combinations of, and I plan on getting it tested in the future after which I will confirm the substance in this post. Believe it or not the mental distress I suffered from this was even more traumatic than a particularly brutal mushroom ego death experience I had not so long ago. I am certain now if I had been any less cautious with this powder and bombed a generous amount of the stuff like I usually would when I pick up MDMA I would of been on my way to ER for sure.
The moral of this story as with so many others is to play it safe and always use a testing kit!
