If I had to eyeball pure am-2201 for oral use, how would you guys do it? I was thinking wet a toothpick and dip the tip in and munch.
Your best bet to accurately dose it would bringing it into solution. Not sure which solvents work best, but if I remember right acetone did the trick, Propylene glycol or ethanol would probably be better suited for oral dosing, not sure about solubility in those. Anyway, say you have 1g AM-2201... Dissolve it in 100ml solvent (if it's soluble enough for that concentration), this will yield a 10mg/ml solution. 1ml syringes should usually allow you to easily dose .1ml for 1mg AM-2201.
I have used the inside of a ballpen (that's retracted) before which pretty reliably yields around 4mg for me. Different ballpens, different dosages though. Many people will advise against eyballing AM-2201, but I personally have never gone through the hassle of weighing out a dosage (which I do with jut about any other non-pot-drug). I started off by putting the tiniest amount I can still see into an empty paper, then after smoking this I'd just add AM in babysteps with each cigarette until I had a good feel for active amounts. Unfortunately, this never prevented me from overdosing. Seems like I always go through an uncomfortable first phase with the stuff. Nothing major. Two times I really overdosed it and ended up puking my guts out and getting hot flushes for half an hour or so. So even if you eventually have a feel for the dosages, careful with dosing in the dark or sprinkling some on top of other herb.
Oral dosages are a lot higher for me, I can easily eat 50mg without tolerance without getting to any uncomfortable level (while 5mg smoked would most definitely make me feel uncomfortable).
Anyway, the only way I really bother to dose the stuff anymore is orally, it lasts longer, reduces the risk of heat decomposing the stuff to some unhealthy junk (not sure if that is an actual risk), it doesn't taste so nasty, it won't give me a bad experience, it's easier to dose appropriately and still cheap as hell. Don't turn it into a habit though for all the reasons listed in this thread... :D
So whats with the newest "herbs" that beat the 2012 ban? Is there any?8(
Don't you worry, pharmaceutical companies and ug labs will keep spitting out the most wicked chemicals in the future, I'm most certain they will. Some I'm looking forward to, some are probably best kept away from the scene. Imho, things are just now getting started... Couldn't precisely answer your question though, AM-2201 was the only synthetic cannabinoid I've tried that was worth keeping for me.
edit: After some research, (
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21881274) Cannabipiperidiethanone does not seem to be outlawed anywhere so far. It's really weak shit and seems to be sold in some japanese herbal blends. Godamn why don't they just legalize pot now ffs, they'll be coming up with new synthetics for years to come... lol
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20117892 mentions a few more compounds I've never heard of. What's remarkable is that they only found cannabimimetics in 44 of the 46 tested products. The other two... well no idea, I havent read the article yet. Either they were unable to identify them for whatever reason or they were just bunk. The former possibility could mean theres still shit floating around not even described anywhere in literature (or isolating the compounds poses some other difficulty OR the research team was just doing sloppy lab work).
Let me know via pm if you are interested in the articles.
The list goes on...
AB-001has been sold before, very recently it seems:
http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/602254-Ab-001-any-info
Here it was found along with AM-679 in a very recent bulk powder seizure in Hungary. Seizure must've happenbed in the first half of 2011 eventhough I cannot say for sure. It is probably a product carried by a large online vendor with former distribution center in Hungary. They are now moving this center somewhere else, my guess is because of heat by Hungarian officials which makes even more sense now looking at this article... Does anyone know if "AB-001" would be included by specific analogue laws of any single country that has such laws?
