My first experience with methylone did not leave me very impressed. It wasn’t exactly entheogenic, certainly less so than MDMA, but there was an introspective quality to it. I also had some minor CEVs, but that was about it. I found methylone more relaxing in many ways than stimulating. It basically put me into a mild trance-like state with eyes shut. When I opened my eyes I didn’t really notice much but a subtle body buzz. Unlike other reports I have read, I never experienced any particular 'rushes' this substance.
This is the second time I am taking methylone without mixing it with other substances. My other experiences involved mixing it with other psychedelics…once at the tail end of an LSD trip and once with 2C-I. The experience with LSD was very pleasant and the one with 2C-I was not.

I ingest exactly 166 mg of methylone hcl in a capsule on a mostly empty stomach.
11:12 PM
I defiantly have an alert.

Very clear euphoria. It is not like the opiate euphoria, and it is not like MDMA euphoria.
11:22 PM
Taking a phone call.
11:43 PM
Wow, a lot more MDMA-like now, but not anywhere near as profound.
11:45 PM
For some reason, now it feels like a cross between an opiate and MDMA.
12:22 AM
For about 20 minutes it was very MDMA-like, now it seems like an energetic opiate. I have pseudo-empathetic effects (it feels good to talk to people on IRC and I can really get into the conversations) but nothing really entheogenic.
12:23 AM
I sure did like this better when I took it after an acid peak. There are no bad effects at all to speak of, but not to many real interesting effects either.
12:27 AM
Heh, I like the nystygmus this methylone is producing.
12:38 AM
It keeps going back and forth between feeling opiate-like and MDMA-like, but without the psychedelic part of MDMA.
12:52 AM
I think more than anything it feels like MDMA but without the real MDMA mental effects. Mentally, I still feel like I am just high on a warm fuzzy (opiate), well sort of.
1:16 AM
My mind is racing now. It is amazing, but this time the methylone is much more stimulating than the last time. I anticipate that I will have problems sleeping.
1:44 AM
I’m not peaking anymore but haven’t started to go down. Actually as I typed that it the methylone seemed to release itself a bit.
2:27 AM
Largely down, but I still feel some stimulation and 'softness' in the body. I believe some chamomile tea and marijuana is called for.
Summary
I personally don’t consider methylone to be much more of anything than a novelty. I sure can’t see it as an entheogen with any real value in psychotherapy or for self-exploration. It seems more suited as a social lubricant, or for entertainment, but that’s about it. I was most surprised at the lack (for me) of any real empathetic effects. At one point I took a phone call from someone close to me experiencing a personal crisis. To my surprise I found the phone call more of an annoyance than anything, and I was not very motivated to help them or give them any advice. This is most unusual for me because helping people to feel better is not only my career (I am a social science major) but I love and care for this individual and want nothing more than for them to feel good. I don’t know, it seems methylone can recreate some MDMA-like effects but in general falls way short of being anything that is real interesting. On the plus side, other than some residual stimulation and minor nausea, there were absolutely no negative side effects.
 
Very interesting report.. what the hell is methylone?
Oh and I'm truly sorry but I almost pissed myself laughing at
"11:12 PM
I defiantly have an alert."
hahahahahahahaha sorry mate that is too funny.

Methylone is the ketone (one extra oxygen atom) of MDMA. It has the same relationship that methcathinone has to methamphetamine or that cathinone has to amphetamine.
 
Ehhh, it is worth trying. After some thought, I do believe I dismissed methylone to quickly. In looking back, I can definatly see that my consciousness was altered in ways that were difficult to recognize at the time I wrote the report (while still on the material). I am planning to not experiment with methylone again until the summertime when I can take a larger dose at night in the mountians with my girlfriend. The setting I was in was not the most supportive for an entheogenic experience (sitting on the computer) and that also may have been much of the problem.
 
Methylone was neat. Too bad its not available anymore... Itll never be made on the black market because why not just make MDMA, but it was fun when it was around. Oh well. Maybe some day some bored chemist will make some and send it to me.
 
Let me preface this by saying that Im not in any way asking for a source.
But I'm curious, the above statements make it sound as though this substance was at some point available on the grey market as a research chemical. Is that the case? I don't ever recall seeing this compound being offered by anyone. If it was available, what was the timeframe during which it was offered?
TIA
 
It was available, but not to the general public. It was available through a supplier that only dealt with people who they had chosen, and people who had been given a referral. This supplier has not existed for quite a while, and methylone was only available for a few months. So, while it was available, it was only available in very small quantities to very few people. It also wasn't cheap. It was only $100/g, but that was only 5 doses. Wish I'd had money when it was around! I got to try it, but it wouldve been nice to be able to stock up. Oh well.
