Giving how terrible that drip is you couldn't pay me to leave this stuff in my mouth!
i suppose i'm just not a snorter, but i'd rather have something dissolve under my tougue than drip out of the back of my sinus into my throat. maybe there is a particular technique to sublingual, but i never really taste it. i stick it under there and do something else to take my mind off it while it dissolves. comes on real nice, but i suppose everybody has their preferred ways of using drugs.
agree that the perspective it gives you is kind of mind-blowing. when i first got my hands on the stuff, i found it hard not to use as regularly as i could, say a couple of times a week.
the urge has decreased as i've gotten more used to it and experienced some really deep dissociative/psychedelic states. the clarity of thought reminds me quite a bit of the way i think on LSD, but the other effects of the drug - the dissociation, numb fuzziness, sedation - are almost the complete opposite.
i love it, but i respect it. i'd hate to think what kind of a basket case i'd become if i took it too frequently. it's like it switches on a whole other part of my conscious mind. the revelations can be a bit paranoid at times, but a strange perceptive paranoia, if that makes any sense?
i'm actually thankful for the afterglow's insomnia-inducing minic effects, because otherwise it would be very tempting to use at night; but as someone said earlier, it's more of a day-off drug than an after-work drug. not a sustainable option for me, anyway.
if it weren't for this, i might enjoy this stuff more than i should.
laying down listening to music on mxe is incredible - i can listen to a record i've heard a thousand of times, that i know inside out - and it sounds like something i've never heard before. the music pans in a 3D stereo effect and the sound orbits around my body, goes far away and comes back close and into my body. i hear every note as though it is separated from the one before it by a week. my hearing is so finely tuned that the compression of mp3 files is obvious and gets on my nerves.
listening to vinyl is sublime, even though i have to come back from outer space and get up to flip the disk every ~20 minutes, i do so with ease. walking 3 steps to the turntable is probably more challenging than lifting the needle, flipping or changing the record and gently placing the stylus back down; wobbly on my feet, but motor skills still fine.
the second i sit back down, i'm back in the hole. incredible.
i also had a very beautiful, composed jam with a piano player a few weeks ago who didn't know i was high on MXE. i was on a smaller dose than usual, but definitely able to tap into the same acute musical focus. not a very practical musical aid, but it was an interesting perspective-changer, which i think is this substance's most valuable quality.
i've never known a drug that allows me to go so far out but then to snap back into reality - and way back out again - at will. n
ot like waves of mushrooms or LSD. i've only taken ketamine a couple of times, and have little other dissociative experience except for n2o and a handful of DXM journeys - but to me this stuff is pretty fascinating.
overall i prefer psychedelics and opiates - but the experiments i have done with MXE have been most rewarding.
brimmy u going ass over tit into the water must of been the funniest thing i've seen in my life "watch out for that water dude SPLASHHH" hahaha sorry man but so god damn funny
