1. Methoxetamine (2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(ethylamino)cyclohexanone) – Inexperienced – Incredibly seductive, powerful dissociative-entheogen: Ketamine fans, your prayers are answered
2. Description of drug: 50mg, sticky white powder with a slight green tinge around one edge, supplier’s printed sticker on tiny bag with full chemical name and formula, purity claimed as 99.18%, insulfated.
3. Background information: At home, alone in my room but with other adults on hand to check on me from time to time. General health good, male, early 40s, not on any medication, experienced in cannabis, LSD, MD** family & mephedrone. Weight: 85kg
4. The experience:
I had doubts as to whether to try this one as I have always thought of Ketamine as fairly hardcore, and this is supposed to be a close Ket. analogue. So I bought the smallest available quantity as I know I have fiending tendencies.
Allergy test and 2-3mg taken 6hours and 2hours before the trip, respectively.
Started out at 11pm, weighed 25mg and snorted. No pain and virtually no smell. A slightly sweet, clean odour, but very faint.
+30mins Slight tingling of extremities, very brief gentle gurning (less than a minute, hardly noticable) Gentle physical euphoria starting. A bit like the relaxation from very high-quality cannabis oil or resin. But very subtle and comfortable, relaxing, no paranoia. Sitting on the bed, duvet and mattress feel incredibly soft and enveloping.
+1hr Mental effects well established. Spinning sensation, like being on a huge roundabout that takes an age to get going, very powerful and inescapable but somehow not at all frightening. (I am a very anxious person and have had bad trips on cannabis and MDMA, but fear was noticably absent from the come-up.) The sensations build in waves. No visuals as such – the hallucinations seem to be very physical in nature. Checked BP and heart rate – both unchanged from baseline. Fantastic!
+1.5 hours Very dizzy and losing track of time. Try to email someone. I manage to type three words and am amazed to see that half an hour has passed. Attempt to view porn on the computer and I am surprised to find that I am absolutely disgusted by it. Very different to Meph! The effects of the drug come in gentle waves, so gentle that it is almost impossible to feel them start until they are already well under way. Very difficult to focus vision now, but if I want to concentrate on something I can normally bring it into view briefly. Try to walk to the bathroom and find this very difficult. I knock my legs and arms on the walls and the doors as I go, but still relatively in control. Sit down to urinate. No difficulty with this. Decide to lie down for a bit.
+2hrs The spinning effect builds whilst lying down. I have never experienced anything like this – so powerful, so inescapable but not scary. Wow. Overcome with fiending urge, I snort the remaining 20mg.
+2hrs 15mins Feel a bit tired and lie down. The spinning continues and I start to feel a soft sinking sensation. Everything feels ‘quiet’ and I have a feeling that something different will happen now. Vaguely aware that my heart rate is still normal.
Start to accelerate down. The K hole, or should I call it the M hole? Exactly as described by others – I am no longer a body in a world, but a speck of consciousness floating down in an infinite purple-black velvety nothingness. No fear, no control. Words cannot do justice to the experience.
3hrs Normal consciousness starts to come back in waves, but still very much in the grip of the trip. Feel an urge to read religious works, but cannot sustain the concentration to do so. Can read a sentence, just about, but cannot recall how it started by the time I get to the full stop. I attempt to describe the M hole (K hole) in my own words, I write in a pocket notebook:
“playful delightful delicious to God and back! We are all looking after each other, there will be no need to do anything else That’s it! And it’s fantastic We are here I love you all So simple So lovely So gentle It’s come Thank God! At last! Now life is easy so easy End of story! This is all a big lesson Buddha was right, if you’re greedy you distort your mind I’m really, really grateful It all makes sense That’s better! Relax Calm Cool Welcome to the sunshine”
Ahem.
+3.5 hrs Physical and mental effects start to dissipate quite rapidly. I stagger downstairs for a couple of choc bars and some water. Feeling tired and dizzy and still have problems focusing, but otherwise OK. Time for sleep.
5. Conclusions: This is a great drug. Although it was certainly not an experience that I could recommend to everyone. Definitely not one for the meph kids. Totally unlike anything else I have ever experienced. I would like to do it again, but strangely I don’t feel in any hurry to do so. I want to savour this drug rather than devour it.
If you don’t like the trippy element of drug-taking, don’t take this drug.
If you have problems with fiending/self-control, buy a very small amount or have sober people on hand to wrench the bag from your sweaty paw.
If you like trippy experiences, or you are a Ketamine fan, then this could be a great legal opportunity for you.
