Tryptamines Freebase 5MeO dosing

[scabbard]

Hey All,

How does one go about accurately dosing out freebase 5MeO? I'm using it for therapeutic purposes in conjunction with MDMA, and I'd like to have multiple doses ready to go, building incrementally (starting at maybe 3mg, then 5, etc.). I have a scale that goes to 1mg, but that's not accurate enough since it certainly has some tolerance (probably +/- 2mg from what I've seen with it). It also seems incredibly precarious to handle such small doses, one little puff of wind and there goes half your chemical, which normally wouldn't be an issue but being under the influence of 5 might be a different story. Has anyone made 5MeO blotter papers that you could load into a pipe? I thought that might be an interesting way of doing it. I'm open to hearing what your thoughts are on the best way to do this.

Is the freebase in a powder or oil form? I'm guessing it's a bit of a clumpy oil if it's like my freebase 5-MeO-DMT.

I'd probably measure out a set maximum amount that you'll want to be using in one sitting, say 20mg, by using the scale. Then I'd take that amount and divide it visually into equal-looking piles. They won't be perfectly accurate, but that's ok because they will be not too far off, and each pile will be some amount well less than the total you measured.

If your freebase is in a powder you could use a razor to gather it into a consistent line on a piece of glass, mirror or other hard surface, and then cut it pretty accurately into separate piles.

Put it under a little bowl or something if you're scared of a puff of wind blowing it away.

Someone else probably has a better method

That's not a terrible method, basically what I did to find my ideal dose. I measured out 5mg, 10mg 15mg (I had the fumarate though) and would sandwich between herb, before smoking/vaping. With the fumarate i found 15 to be sufficient. After that I kinda started eyeballing, which if I was on any other psychedelic 15-20mg would be too much.

if you have freebase, it's pretty potent. I would def start with 5mg not more.

Also I'm sure smoking in a pipe w herb probably destroys a bit. i always try and get the edges embering and just slowly go for it.

Hey thanks for the suggestions. I've thought about dosing it with herb, but that could also affect the experience too. The equal looking piles method from the initial weighing of a larger portion sounds smart.

I guess one additional question I have is whether to vape it or smoke it, and honestly what the difference is. I've had it served to me by heating a glass pipe from the outside with the 5MeO inside of it, and then it starts forming a gas (vapor?) - is that vaporizing or smoking? How could one know without having the temperature precisely controlled? And then, does it even make a difference? If you increase the temperature beyond the vaporization point and you start to burn the material, aside from unwanted byproducts, would the psychoactive effects be any different?
