First, let me preface this by saying that this is my first post on Bluelight. I hope I don't embarrass myself too badly.:)

I received my first gram of JWH-018 a few months ago. It was very fine powder, white as the driven snow. It clumped up a little bit, but was easily broken up.

The day before I received my JWH-018, I bought several Size-0 gel caps (they fit perfectly over the end of your standard drinking straw), intending to dose it orally in pill form. I know the pills were unnecessary, but I had it in mind that I was going to measure out my doses ahead of time and put them in gel caps. I took one extremely small eyballed dose of only a few grains of powder.

30 minutes later, I felt nothing, so I dosed again. Rinse and repeat. Twice. Frustrated, I took a much larger (though smaller than what I dose these days) dose, put it in my pipe, and smoked it.

This was a bad, bad idea. If I had done more research, as I most definitely should have, I would have known that it takes quite some time for JWH-018 to set in when taken orally- to say nothing of the amount that I had just smoked. I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep this in mind. I do not recommend dosing orally unless you know exactly how much you need. If you are a first time user, smoke/vape it. If you have any misgivings about the amount AT ALL, dump it back into the bag and take half of your previous dose. You can always take more if you want to, but you cannot un-take it.

At first, I was very, very pleased- I was coming up like a Saturn-V rocket. I noted that the experience was very, very different to that of marijuana.

I reached the point where I was absolutely certain that I was the highest I had ever been. I was amazed at how cost effective it was to get that high, and have such an obscene amount of JWH-018 left. I was content to stay there, but that was not to be.

I kept coming up, and up, and up, and up. It felt like it would never end. Before long, I felt like I had been poisoned (probably because I was). My limbs spasmed wildly, and my thoughts became chaotic, and extremely paranoid. I became obsessed with the idea that THEY KNEW. Don't ask me who "THEY" were, I couldn't tell you. My heart began to beat very, very quickly, to the point where I thought it was going to exploded. Around this time, I became acutely aware that my throat was undergoing peristalsis, only in reverse. This is the best way that I can summarize the feeling: I felt like I was constantly vomiting, even though I wasn't. I was barely able to keep my shit together enough to tell myself that I wasn't vomiting, I was going to be okay, and that despite the awful, awful feeling, I was not dying.

This feeling persisted for perhaps 30 minutes or so. I attempted to use my computer for a reason that I cannot at this time remember. I couldn't accurately type, and it didn't help that I was far to fucked up to read the keys on the keyboard. They were alien characters that held no significance to me. I gave up and stared at my desktop for probably 20-30 more minutes, before deciding to put on my iPod and try to relax.

It worked. I had intense closed eye visuals that seemed much like a series of waking dreams. For the most part, this was enjoyable. I had completely lost track of time at this point. Once I had come down enough that I felt like I could get to sleep, I did so. I was ready for it to be over.

That was the only experience I have ever personally had on JWH-018 that I would qualify as bad. I've been uncomfortable a few times, but never anywhere even close to that again. Since my foolhardy attempt at dosing the first time, I have become much, much more careful with my dosing. "Take a hit, let it sit" and all that. I've been through 3 grams now, and for the most part, it's been great. The high can be compared to marijuana, but it is definitely more lucid.

All in all, I say this is a great substance, but its potency cannot be underestimated. I've become confident (though not overconfident) in my ability to eyeball doses. Having caught a glimpse of THE BEAST and been back to tell the tale, I have great respect for JWH-018: It will viciously kick your ass if you underestimate it at all.

Yes jwh-018 is a learning process to say the least. When I first got the powder form I over did it and felt like I was in cardiac arrest. Now I know how to use it properly and it is a god send to me now.
By the way, make an intro thread over in NMI so others can get to know you :)
 
I guess I should say that when I put the "experienced" label at the top of the thread, I am referring to myself now. I was a dumb RC neophyte before and during that first time.

^^edit: I'll do just that in a bit. Right now, I'm just going to relax a bit. :)
 
Got yourself a taste of The Fear, eh? I have to agree that when used responsibly JWH-018 can be great, but it also has the potential, as do most drugs, to give you a serious asskicking should you become complacent with your dosing.
