^no need to bash it, but I don't think it should be promoted or suggested to be safe in any way whatsoever.
I'm pretty amazed at some of the comments in this thread. I'm wondering if a lot of people are not getting pure PV, because I can't for the life of me figure out how anyone could call MDPV a 'mild stim at low doses' which is good for hanging with a friend and smoking weed and just chillin.
Bloodshed: dude, I respectfully disagree with pretty much everything in your post. Of course, those ideas are your opinions based on your experience, and the following are mine. Everyone's different and there's really no telling exactly what you or I got labelled as MDPV (unless you had yours lab analysed. I didn't.)
But the dozen or so times I got hold of PV, it always ended up as a total disaster binge. 'Mild' is the last adjective I would apply to MDPV. Low doses or not. It is fucking over-powered like nothing else. And mixing it with weed sent me over the edge into total psychosis in record speed. (And I mean having a smoke of weed an hour or two after the PV, not at the same time).
MDPV at high doses , or abused , is not like this. and thats not MDPV, thats the user misusing the substance. and thats my entire point of all my posts in this topic.
I agree that the user must be responsible for their substance use and subsequent actions. However, literally nothing else I've ever tried has the same urge to re-dose. Having one or two small smokes leaves me feeling nice for a little while, and then makes me feel like utter shit for the rest of the evening unless I bomb myself out with benzos or opiates - or re-dose the PV. So it feels to me like it just isn't worth dipping a toe in at all.
I think there is a large amount of negative bias present here, by mostly uninformed people. Also people that are natural addicts to anything they can touch are a skewed point of perspective, so their opinion doesn't really count for much :/
I'd actually say that people who have experienced addiction or compulsive use with various substances have very worthwhile opinions. In my case, I've had to learn to be moderate the hard way, by making lots of mistakes and getting into bad situations with just about every class of drug you can name. And while it's taken me years and years to learn self-discipline, it does mean that I've built up some pretty solid willpower simply by knowing how much better off I'll be if I don't overdo it with something.
BUT, MDPV and a-PVP are the two things that I just can't handle. If I get 100mg, then I'll smoke it till it's gone. If I get a gram... same thing. Like nothing else, they hijack the brains reward pathways so powerfully that the urge to redose bypasses all logic and reasoning.
I can understand that some people might feel annoyed when a drug they have enjoyed and been able to control gets demonised over and over, but based on my experiences and those of my friends (and countless anecdotal reports on the net), I don't think MDPV deserves to be promoted or have its risks down-played at all. Basically, it's a ridiculously potent stim which is extremely difficult to use responsibly, has a tendency to lead people into paranoid and psychotic states, has probably the worst crash/hangover of any stimulant, and only delivers a short-lived high with rapidly diminishing returns.
I really can't think of a single reason to recommend it to anyone. If it's something that you've been able to use in moderation without adverse effects, then you are probably in a minority and it would be better not to try and defend it. Just enjoy your capacity to use it and keep in under control and keep that info to yourself.
Again, this is just my opinion based on my experience, and that of numerous friends of mine.
