I have this strange preference for Lyrica. In high doses (~1500 mg, I've sometimes gone up to 2500 mg but that's unwise for your kidneys and can provoke seizures) it feels like a combination of GHB, MDMA, alcohol, benzos, weed and ketamine. It's just very unique. On high doses it feels dissociative and even slightly psychedelic, with minor OEV's.
Nowadays instead of alcohol, if I want to chill out after a stressful week, I love to take pregabalin. Well, sometimes together with a few beers but pregabalin potentiates alcohol humongously. Weed while high on pregablin can be tricky, since pregabalin is such a weird bastard. Theoretically a sedative, but it has potentiated cannabis for me to uncomfortable levels. It has a synergy with caffeine and nicotine too. It's mechanism of action and effects just make it very unique, hard to put into any category (well, gabapentinoids would probably be it). Right now, I feel trippy, euphoric and dissociated on around 1200 mg. I actually can get quite energetic on this stuff, like to clean, search for various stuff, play records, and it makes me reeeeally social. Completely unlike e.g. alcohol and benzos which does dull my mind boringly.
Okay, now to the psychedelics...
Thanks to pregabalin, I got an urge to search around for all kinds of hidden and forgotten things, and found a bag of 50 mg 25C-NBOMe HCl. The bag has been in a dark, cool place for 6 years. Do you think there has been any degradation, or should it work just fine? Phens shouldn't degrade easily, unlike trypts? I quite liked 25C-NBOMe, altough it was more fun and eye candy than anything deep or spiritual.
Also, no one answered my question in an earlier post, reagarding the differences between hydroxylated and acetylated tryptamines. Anyone, Solipis? You seem to have quite extensive knowledge about these. Lets' take an example. 4-AcO-DPT and 4-HO-DPT. Qualitatively, they felt exactly the same. The only difference was that 4-AcO-DPT was slightly less potent. However, 4-HO-DMT (psilocin, as you know) and 4-AcO-DMT are not exactly identical. I've e.g. never tried 4-HO-DiPT, but I've tried 4-AcO-DiPT. I wasn't impressed by 4-AcO-DiPT, am quite sceptical that 4-HO-DiPT would differ so much as to warrant an experience with it. The same goes for 4-HO-MET, which I've tried, and 4-AcO-MET, which I think I haven't tried. I'm a bit unsure about that.
I'm more talking about the subjective and qualitative differences in experiences than advanced chemistry, as I'm not too familiar with chemistry. Only the basics. Can something general be said about the differences between AcO and HO 4-substituted tryptamines?
Sorry, lots of questions, hopefully someones bored and have extra time to answer
