Certainly a fun experience! Two experiences in two days, doses of 22mg (gelcap) and ~32mg (gelcap + insufflated).
The first night I had drunk a few beers during the day but any effects had worn off by time of dosing. Just for completeness however I should mention that I had taken acid and kratom and smoked a lot of weed in the days previous, I think they probably contributed to the intensity. It took 30mins to settle in, very gradual rise to peak, felt like I reached DXM 2nd plateau within 30mins - 1hour. This is a marked improvement on DXM though as there was no nausea and stomach gurgling I get with DXM powder. My friend (not on MXE) and I decided to smoke some weed, there was a period of 30mins after smoking (from a bong too) in which I didn't feel stoned at all. I just already felt very detached and almost numb, my lips especially. My head was clear though, when being stoned normally muddles and fogs my mind. It felt really good, lots of pleasant, numb euphoria. From 1hour onwards I started to lose motor coordination as if I was drunk but banging into things and walking into walls didn't bother me as it was quite fun since I didn't really feel any pain. I started to feel stoned for around 1hour until the MXE started to kick up a gear and took over, very interesting, completely engrossed into a film. My head started to clear as well which was enjoyable, my friend kept getting lost in the story, forgetting what had happened to get to this point and I could remember lots of details I'm not sure I would have done if I was just stoned. Nice effect. Another thing I noticed was at around 2-3hrs there seemed to be a wane in intensity which brought about an urge to redose but I was so tired from the previous days I didn't. I'm glad I didn't because after that from 3-4hrs the intensity came back up again before fading gradually down. I wonder if this is why a lot of people describe the urge to redose constantly. You'll be surprised though if you don't redose, it will come back, or just smoke some weed.
My second experience was much more intense. Firstly the day after I woke up feeling good, cloudy mind from smoking constantly but felt really comfortable lying in bed, similar to a DXM afterglow. I started in the evening with a dose of 27mg gelcap and topped up with ~5mg snorted 2hours later. It started similar but much faster this time, swept into peak by 30mins, feeling very euphoric. It grew in intensity much quicker and I was really surprised because the change in dose from the night before was 5mg and I was also expecting a small tolerance effect. It carried on similar to the night before, we smoked some weed and it intensified all the typical dissociative aspects. I should also mention at this point that earlier in the day I drank 5 shots of rum that had come from a jar with 200 liberty cap mushrooms. It was over a year old and it only made us feel stoned and spacey during the day but I think it became very important later, it definitely affected the trip. My friend this time had taken a dose of 22mg gelcap but is much more sensitive to drugs and smaller than I am. The experience grew till about 2-3hours when we decided to smoke once more out of a bong. It didn't seem we smoked a lot but we must have because the trip exploded in intensity from this point. I forget actually that before smoking I had snorted the extra 5mg. After we smoked and the intensity started building like a rocket ship we went to lay on the grass. I think we lay there for around an hour, impossible to get up, I tried a few times to go for a piss but it was too hard! I started seeing fractal patterns in the sky that I saw in my acid trip 2 days earlier but they seemed slightly more colourful and warpy which I think was the mushrooms effect. I felt part of the ground, literally as if I was underground and it was see-through. I felt connected to the earth. I only ever get these feelings from psilocybin, never from acid. The trip felt like a combination of all sorts, acid fractals, psilocybin wisdom and even mescaline wisdom. It was an incredible experience that I guess is the closest to an M-hole or K-hole I have gotten. It definitely wasn't such a hole though because I could move and had my eyes open the whole time. My image of a K-hole is one where you can't move or even open your eyes and are trapped in whatever wonderful or frightening space you find yourself in. Anyways after the intensity died down and I managed to get up to go piss, we went back inside listened to music, the intensity was still very high, struggled to walk and my friend nearly had a bad trip briefly thinking he was dying. Overall though he said his trip was one of the most intense and enjoyable trips in years. This is bearing in mind that he has tripped on acid maybe 8 times already this year.
So in conclusion I am a big fan of MXE now. The dose is so small and the onset is so much more rapid than DXM. I haven't tried ketamine yet so I don't have any reference on that. But all in all I would recommend this to anyone, if you can stand the drip then snorting seems more direct and to the point but orally it was just as good. Hope this is interesting and useful information for any people considering trying MXE!
