Hehe thanks, and yup, every trip report I write I submit to Erowid and post here simultaneously. ^_^ I pump 'em out about once a week.
I enjoy phenethylamines too, especially their incredible body highs, but I would have to say that the reason I like tryptamines is because they generally just feel more powerfully healing to me. I use psychedelics primarily for personal growth, and tryptamines (including LSD in that sense) always seem to achieve that for me, whether it's because they force a hard but necessary reevaluation of my life or behaviors, because they allow me to dive deeper into aspects of my imagination and my sexuality than I could possibly have imagined, or just because they are plain and simple fun and leave me feeling spiritually refreshed.
The phens are fun too, but I think the reason I'm left feeling fuller after tryptamines is because they impact my mind more strongly than my body, even the mentally "light" ones. They still make me feel orgasmic, but it feels a little more naturally produced and therefore therapeutic to me, as opposed to the phens which feel more like a direct body stimulation to me, which then works in reverse to effect my mind. Lately I've been moving more and more toward a mindset of really only being attracted to substances which allow me to explore myself deeply without feeling significantly alerted or inhibited, and I think that because of this sort of inverse relationship that I've noticed in my experiences tryptamines are just much better suited for me.
I have tried 4-AcO-DMT but not by itself, and I have yet to give 4-HO-MET a go. However, within the last three days both of these compounds have entered my personal collection, and I am excited to get to know them better.
I'm considering taking the former tonight! :D
