So, DOET... not quite sure what to make of this drug. I took 3.6mg, and I'm not sure how to describe it. There was basically nothing visually, except a brightening of colors. Mentally and emotionally something was happening, but I'm not sure what. I was very aware of it in my body, it gave me a definite stimulation and the come-up was fairly intense and made me feel kind of unsettled (no worse than DOC sometimes can be). When I started hiking that aspect got more comfortable. I had moments where I seemed to be able to feel other things around me, these strong connection moments that reminded me of mescaline. I was altered substantially but in most moments I really couldn't say how... the only thing that was constant was the body high, which sometimes verged on feeling more like a bodyload. I had enhanced empathy for sure, but not really much of a desire to externalize that empathy, if that makes sense. I was relatively quiet most of the trip. Quiet but content.
After the hike, about 6 hours into it, we had a little nitrous party. I will just say, wow, those were easily the most profound and fulfilling nitrous experiences I've ever had. I'm hopefully going to get a full report written today and attempt to explain that part, as it was certainly the peak of the trip for me. Just wow.
Then my friend and I drank quite a few beers, had a good time. I was never really able to fall asleep, I felt the DOET far too strongly in my body and I just wasn't tired. So I'm going on empty right now. This morning I still feel the remnants of it a bit. It was unusually difficult to sleep on DOET, I have an easier time even on DOC, and with DOC I really don't expect to be able to sleep. This really keeps going for a while (no surprise there but it was more than I expected in this way).
I will definitely try it again. I think I'd do 7mg when I do it, it felt like there was likely something developing. But I'm a bit apprehensive just because even at 3.6mg it was physically challenging sometimes. It didn't feel dangerous at all, the feeling just felt rather alien and it made me uncomfortable for periods of time. If the bodyload increases with dose then it might be pretty challenging at 7mg. On the other hand, sometimes psychedelics will get easier to handle at higher dosages because the effects get to develop fully and you're not halfway in. I felt halfway in with this dose, even though it was quite intense.
Scattered... it's just the lack of sleep though. I'm gonna try to write this up. I feel a lazy day coming on.
