Hi, I'm a long time lurker and first time poster.
I just wanted to chuck in my tuppenyworth on this debate.
As a competitive athlete for many years, I have always read up scrupulously on anything I put in my body but not too long ago, I was forced to give up athletics for injury reasons.
Immediately on cessation of my daily burst of endorphins, I began to experience mood swings and read up on legal highs as a way of replacing the buzz. I bought 1g of Mephedrone and had it in the house for more than a week before the opportunity to try it presented itself.
i took 150mg in a can of Ribena. After about 20 mins, I became aware of a most agreeable sensation. I was watching a programme on TV that I would normally rush to switch off but found myself thinking 'this is great'! I then had a superb 3 hours of a warm relaxation and positive glow until my partner came home from work. I persuaded her to try it as I wanted her to feel the same sensation. Despite being much smaller than me, her experiences of it were pleasant but not, if what I saw was evidence, to the same heights as I experienced. Neither of us were tempted to take any more that night or to touch alcohol and we had, in the tender words of Mills and Boon, a very pleasant bit of 'how's yer father?'
The following day, I still felt a pleasant tingle all over my body and effortlessly climbed a frozen mountain with a spring in my step and my lungs felt like they'd increased massively in capacity. Wow, there seemed to be literally no downside to this chemical!
The following two weeks saw me being unusually pleasant and kind to everyone I met and if anyone upset me, I instantly forgave them.
If we'd stopped there or decided to repeat the experience once every two or three months, I would be on here singing its praises but we didn't!
Just two weeks later, we decided to have another go. Again, the same initial euphoria and deep, meaningful insightful experience followed but as we were now familiar with the sensation, it wasn't as good as the previous time. Additionally, once the initial effects began to wear off, we repeated the same 150mg dose and that was a huge mistake. Neither of us could sleep and I in particular had a very bad time. I couldn't sit still and couldn't concentrate for more than 5 minutes on anything. It was TV, DVD, PC, music repeat ad-infintum and ad-nauseum. Sex was impossible and I felt irritable and oblivious to the needs of my partner who again experienced the effects to a far lesser extent than I did. It was 7am before I went to bed and slept badly and woke without feeling refreshed at all.
It was time to try Methylone.
It had been about 5 weeks since our last Meph sojourn and we again bought 1g from the same supplier we'd got the Meph from.
We each took 180mg again in a soft drink.
Initially, there was a pleasant feeling of tremendous togetherness and a warmth that seemed to spread through us individually and then throughout both of us together. This was a tremendous sensation and certainly on a par with the first Meph rush. We'd put the remainder of the powder in the car and as it was so bitterly cold, we knew that even if tempted, neither of us would be willing to go outside in the deep snow to get another hit. In this, we were successful and we stuck on the initial does only and were not tempted by alcohol.
Unlike Meph, there was an immediate downside. From being caring and attentive to each other, once the buzz wore off after about three hours, we became selfish and more interested in only what we wanted to do. If I wanted music, she wanted TV and if vice-versa. We ended up in different rooms and again, I found it had caused a temporary impotence like the second session on Meph.
The speedy rush continued and it became frighteningly similar to my bad experience on the Meph with sleep impossible and there was a definite come down with mild depression and self-loathing the following day. I certainly didn't get any pleasant tingling or any great empathy with people as the Meph had left me with.
We took the remaining powder we had in both bags and chucked it out.
All in all, I'm glad of the experience and would possibly repeat the 150-180mg single dose thing with Meph again in about three months (if it's not banned) as that was a very pleasant experience but there are too many negative side effects for me to want to be a regular user of it and my only experience of Methylone was so poor, I will not be going down that road again.
Now, what can I use to replace the pleasant buzz I used to get from running?
