There’s very little info available on this chemical. Though the most well-known chemical to which it's related is methaqualone, it is a closer analogue of mecloqualone, a similar drug that was approved for pharmaceutical use in the '60s and distributed legitimately. Even so, it's hard to find dosage data. I decided to start at 5mg to make sure I’m not allergic, and that I haven’t been sent DOI by mistake, then move up to 20mg, and play it by ear from there.

About me- white young male, 1.8 m, about 90 or 95 kg (the only scales I have max out a lot lower than that, so guessing is necessary). I'm a pretty experienced drug-pig, of the GABAergics, I have used diazepam, etizolam, GHB, GBL, alcohol, and pregabalin (the apple of my eye), extensively. I tasted etaqualone; I wrote it off as a dud. Either I'm tenacious, or deluded, but I thought mebroqualone might be of more worth, and so a gram was acquired.

The sample is a dense, off-white, crystally powder with a sandy texture. Let’s get started.

With 5mg of gritty crystal underneath my tongue, I taste nothing. I think this is a bad sign- have I been ripped? 10 minutes afterwards, I feel a wooziness. It could be a flood of placebomine; it could just be post-luncheon parasympathetic effects. I decide not to draw any conclusions from this. I don't appear to have any severe reaction of any kind. Whatever it was that I felt, it had dissipated within the quarter hour.

20 more milligrams are rubbed on my gums. 6 minutes later, I feel good. Is it the drug? How to tell? It seems like the effect of a drug, but I'm trying to pretend I'm a scientist, and not listening to Aphex Twin on my sofa and getting high, so I tell myself that the data is too sparse to avoid underdetermination. Again, the effect is fleeting. At 17 minutes post-dose, I don't feel as good, and at 23, I am at baseline. Looks like I'll be pressing on, though.

Now, what we've all been waiting for. I dump 40 mg into the centre of a square of foil, and roll a tight tube. As I bring the flame slowly up from beneath, I draw in from above. The material melts cleanly and quickly, to my satisfaction. The liquid is transparent, runny, and of a faint yellow colour. The kind of colour I expect a brominated compound to be, for some reason. The fumes evolve, and taste a little bitter, though not harsh at all. I hold the smoke down, and I know I have an active substance on my hands. The character? Too early to say. The glee I felt with 20 mg sublingual doesn't seem to be there. 40 mg is a lot of stuff; the deep lungful I have taken is barely a dent, so once more into the breach I go. This time, I am certain, this is no blank. 4 minutes since I lit the flame, and I am stoned for sure.

22 minutes after the initial toke, I take a big, deep hit. It hits like a freight train. I melt, knocking my notepad to the floor, slouching into a heap. The rush is intense, but not all that euphoric- I am impaired more than elated. I look at my watch to note the time; it takes me too long to interpret the display. I am disoriented; scratch that, I'm totally fucked. I'm not having as much fun as I'd hoped, though. It's the same kind of shovel-to-the-head slamming hit of GBL, but the character is quite different, there's not the orgasmic feeling in the body. It's not as clean as a benzo; it feels more like Lyrica, though it lacks whatever that special magic is that makes pregabalin my favourite downer. This stuff works, no doubt, but I don't see a niche for it. Does it do anything better than the rest? The instantaneous come-up is notable, but the comparison I'm drawn to is vaped fentanyl, and it is not a favourable one. My first hit of fent was breathtakingly, exquisitely enjoyable- this is like a cheap knock off. It's better than etaqualone, but I'm not smitten, by any stretch. 7 minutes after I was hit for six, I am coming down. The fact that such a short-acting drug doesn't induce a compulsive craving to redose says something, I think. I don't think the potential for addiction is the greatest worry with this one. 35 minutes after I first sparked up, the dose has been consumed, leaving remarkably little residue. It seems pure, at least.

It seems that lung capacity is a limiting factor on intake, so I eschew the scale and tip an unmeasured pile onto the aluminium. It is a little fiddly to smoke, it doesn't form a hard little beetle like smack, but little rivulets that flow elusively, so I think little and often is the best tactic. I don't feel all that high, yet I'm distinctly clumsy and awkward. The combination of a clear mind and a limp, unresponsive body is not the best, despite what Hunter might say. I am perhaps acquiring a taste for it, as one so often does when getting to grips with the contours of the experience produced by a drug. It has some similarities to G and pregabalin, more so than anything else I've tasted, and there's a distinct bodily component to the experience. It's pleasant enough, I suppose, but probably a novelty, rather than a permanent addition to the arsenal. I'll report further as I rinse through the gram like the incorrigible fiend I am. I notice that the vapour condenses to a patina on my incisors, of which I'm not a great fan.

So, it's a hard-hitting, fast-acting, short-lasting, muscle-relaxing, and fairly unremarkable drug. It's far better than etaqualone, but as I got nothing at all from etaqualone, that's not saying a lot. If you like downers, and have a score to spare, it's probably worth a punt, but it's not going to win any trophies.

Questions?

Thanks for taking the time to relate your experience, babylonboy. Pertinent questions raised. Seems it maybe might be useful for something, but not a go-to thing at all except for novelty.
 
^I appreciate the thanks, it's nice to know these things get read. I'd like to add that a friend of mine told me he was glad when I got through it, that it changed me and brought out a side he didn't like. It also did get a bit fiendy and moreish over time. Seems to have too many ugly sides for a drug that isn't that much fun. Hope that this trip report answers some questions, and that anyone who has any more questions won't hesitate to post.
