im almost guaranteed that Methoxetamine is the drug that Aldous Huxley talks about in his novel Brave New World....
he even writes in his Foreword to the novel that the drug is probably only 3 or 4 generations away .. he wrote the novel in the 1930s

anyone else agree here or am i trippin the fuck out lol````

forgot to mention im currently reading the book for my grade 12 english class. amazing novel

The drug in the book, Soma, is fictional and does not represent an actual drug. Huxley was interested in psychedelic drugs though, his book The Doors of Perception is about his first trial with mescaline. He was also injected by his wife with LSD shortly before his death.
 
You may be trippin' out, but yeah, maybe in a few more generations a similar drug may exist.

In the meantime, there are a lot of other drugs to choose from :)
 
When you're done reading Brave New World, pick up a copy of Huxley's Island. Its an interesting counterpoint to his original dystopian idea of a future and definitely reflects a change in opinion over the possible use of drugs in society.
 
i was just thinking the other day that methoxetamine seems to be some kind of new "super" drug. i've yet to try it, don't think i will, i've just read the stellar reviews that it feels like all types of drugs (psychedelic, dissociative, stiumlant, opiate, etc) at once.

i was also thinking that it's probably the next thing to get banned and bring heat to the scene

The notion of "types" of drugs needs to be treated with some common sense scepticism. Every drug has an effects profile which will vary with dosage, route of administration, body chemistry of the taker and psychological state of the taker. The categories and classifications we have for drugs are crude abstractions of a more subtle reality.

Methoxetamine does indeed exhibit a range of effects at different doses which might leave a habitual classifier wondering which label to apply, however this is not unique in the drug world. It just happens to be quite a broad spectrum with this particular compound.

I fucking detest that ridiculous drug Venn diagram which has been circulating for some years in a couple of different forms. It is very attractive and beguiling, and at the same time deeply misleading.

You know the one I'm talking about?

[none of this should be taken to mean I don't love the stuff! ;)]
 
^^i think making a distinction between psychedelics, opiates, stimulants, dissociatives, depressants, etc. is helpful. obviously each psychedelic has different effects, and some are more broad range than others.

i've never experienced MXE, just read about it.
 
well i'm pretty much positive that methoxetamine is the drug "soma" ... he definitely predicted it lmao

quotes from Aldous Huxley in his novel Brave New World:

"Two thousand pharmacologists and biochemists were subsidized in AF 178"

"All advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects"

"One cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy sentiments"

"...delicious soma, half a gramme for a half -holiday, a gramme for a weekend, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon..."

of course im sure when he says "gramme" that it must be different unit of measurement in the future that he talks about......
 
^^ yeah, that has to be MXE for sure.

lol

(more serious: there is and never will be any drug like said "soma". every drug can have bad effects when taken without caution. MXE for example can be pretty addictive for some people as i have seen on another forum)
 
psychological dependence... like cannabis.

you guys must not know that he wrote the book in 1930 when there was absolutely no thought of having a drug like this

also the people that made mxe did it so that it would be like ketamine except that its more potent per mg and the effects last longer.
 
You could be on to something there, its a remarkable drug that seems to have avoided the mass media shitstorm of mephedrone so far .
 
Methoxetamine is a pretty poor drug, I think a lot of people who are taking it just don't have access to k. It's like a lesser version of it - not entirely, but I'm sure the majority of people who have tried both would choose k over it. Nothing that special about it.

I have access to both and I personally prefer it to K; K feels very cold and harsh while MXE has a warm blankety feeling about it. But each to his own.
 
You'd most likely enjoy opiates then if you enjoy the warm blanket feeling, that's what it's really similar to!
 
Who said I was recommending? If you enjoy the warm blanket feeling of mxe that's the opiate-like feeling it gives off, it's true, have you tried it and noticed?

Alas (or should I say, luckily), I'm allergic to opiates; but yeah I'm aware what separates MXE from K is the activity in the opiod receptors.
