Hello everyone, I hope your new years have been off to a wonderful start.

And that your holidays were very nice too. I've been very busy and away as of late so I have some catching up to do....
It's sad to hear about certain substances disappearing from the market. For the record, I also checked some sources for 5-MeO-MiPT when I saw this and it still seems to be around... but I cannot say how long that will remain true. My only remaining source for 5-MeO-EiPT has apparently dried up since I last checked, glad I was able to get myself some of that first. Really sad about the lysergamides too, but I'm definitely happy we at least had the chance for a while. I'm a bit anxious about whether or not I should try to get some more AL-LAD though, I've only get enough for a few full doses to try it out with. ETH-LAD always sounded like the better (or at least deeper) of the two to me though.
On the other hand, it's cool to hear that a new route is being explored as well.... I can't believe there are still no reports for NDTDI, but maybe RU-28306 will get some love now. For once these are some indoles that I don't really feel too rushed to explore right away myself, but it would be interesting to see what others have to say about them and if they appear safe or worthwhile. It sure would be something if this family of chemicals worked out recreationally and they kept expanding until we had every single possible structural step between DMT and LSD (and beyond)!
perpetualdawn, about this you said a little while back: "Imagine if no one had ever heard of mescaline before, and it showed up today as an RC? We might start out cautiously at 1mg, then 10mg, then 20mg, start to notice some nausea but nothing else, try it at 30mg, get a headache and nausea, and then throw in the towel deciding Mescaline is a dead end on the psychedelic chemical tree. Know what I mean?" I know exactly what you mean, this thought has been in the back of my mind for years now. It's one of the driving forces behind my experimentation.... For instance, I took 50 mg for my first time with MiPT because pretty much every report I could find of it before then was mostly about how less than 50 mg was underwhelming, and many just dismissed it as a largely mild substance. But, in my opinion there is no such thing as a mild psychedelic, just one dosed too low... which may make something functionally useless if the required dose also passes some thresholds for dangerous physical effects, but with something like base or 4-substituted tryptamines especially I'm not too worried about that. So, I went with the 50 mg and was not disappointed in the least, actually having one of the most euphoric and visual and emotionally deep trips of my life. It's definitely worth pushing higher with some things.
I'm getting myself back in the proper mindset to trip again now, as it's now been almost two months(!!) since my last time. Multiple things have been keeping me away, not the least of which is dealing with a bug infestation at home, which has filled my head with all sorts of creepy crawly images that don't make me too keen to enter a hallucinogenic state... but that all seems to be about passing now. Now I just have to pick a substance to use, which is not always as easy as it sounds.... Has anyone here gotten around to trying or heard of anyone else trying the recently available MPT yet? I've still been waiting to hear some reports about that one as they come in, along with the other newer molecules, but I may have to just dive into it myself if someone else doesn't soon....
