Decided to try some proscaline once it became available... had read about it a bit, but unfortunately there wasnt a lot of info on it. im not the bravest person in the world, but the substance seemed pretty benign and dosage wise pretty forgiving so i decided to try it on a weekend outing.

T+0: ingested ~30mg of white powder, typical chemical taste, bombed on top of some sandwiches

T+1:30: the comeup was rather long. had been expecting it to be around 30mins to 1h but that didnt happen and i decided to leave home without the trip fully established. the first signs of the trip were general chattiness and an inclination to smiling quite a lot, like i was quite content with everything in my life and not caring about the worries of the future. very nice feeling, and it seemed to have quite a natural feeling to it, not seeming forced, and not visible to the nontripper. heartrate normal, bp normal, pupil dilation normal.

T+2:30: i think i would call this the peak/plateau of the experience. heightened mood, a sense of increased sensitivity (smells were very strong, for the better or worse, taste too, i could feel the bubbles of the fizzy drink, touching hands gave the impression i could read the fingerprint) which might be useful in a different setting than i was in. this substance would be far better enjoyed with friends at a more intimate party than in a loud club. it gives energy and will to use it, it just feels like the wrong tool for the job. Stimulation is not exagerated, and though i had the power to dance all night, i couldnt escape the ocasional yawn opr the feeling of tiredness, but these were all clean feelings. There were some moments of the muscle tensing one gets from PEA that feel goood, but nothing overpowering

Now because of these heightened senses one ight find himself lookign around for visuals, but these were very discrete. Perhaps a slight waving here, a breath of the wall there, but dont expect this to be a visual trip. Also, music seems enhanced, but in a way dissimilar to the 2c family, in that you dont seem to internalize it more (like i do when on 2ce) or feel it more with your body, you just seem to be fully aware of its entire repertoire and how the notes and verses relate to oneanother.

Socially I was chatty, open, uninhibited, and i assume friendly, with conversations flowing easily, jokes being funny for all, and fun times all around. Quite the social lubricant this. Just try to not appear THAT happy all the time and remember to put on a serious face at times

If anything i would describe this substance as more of an enhancer than an actual stimulant/full on psychedelic.

T+6:30: most of the happy feelings have left, and i feel a bit artificallly stimulated. i decide to head home, realizing it had been a while since my last meal/drink. There were episodes of nausea, similar to pea, which last a few seconds, about every hour or half hour, no vomiting, but these, combined with a sense of gastrointestinal discomfort (so not really there, but feeling like one couldnt eat just anything) had me starving at the end of the night. Taste was still enhanced by this time, feeling practically every ingredient in the sandwich and the meat it had in it :)

T+8h: sleep is achieved around this time, with some trouble due to the residual stimulation, but no other drugs had to be ingested to correct this. i found myself quite vulnerable to bad imagery at this time, like thinking of the meat in the sandwich brought on images of slaughterhouses and blood. had to actively steer my mind clear of such things, which i found rather surprising, this being the only time i felt in danger of things not being positive. might also have had something to do with the tiredness gathered so far


Next day: feeling tired from the dancing and accumulated tiredness, and havent yet cought up on my sleep, but no stimulation or visuals or anything. No mood lift, but no crash either.

Would I try this again? Yes. Probably in a milder setting where i could appreciate the level of detail this brings on, and the social aspect is great. Would love this chemical to go down in price, but cant really see why this would happen, because i cant imagine this becoming the next craze. As a novelty it pays off, just go in expecting a mild enhancer and you will probably love it
 
Good report........I was wondering about this one as I haven't tried it myself. That is good that you could sleep at the 8 hour mark......major plus for a good psychedelic. Be safe out there!!

It's always a mission to do this though=D

Great report man, sounds like it was an awesome experience...

*Now to add Proscaline to my Drug's to do list* ;)
 
:) thanks. but please, before you put this on your to do list, this was never an overwhelming experience, and might not be worth the price for most people...
 
Nice report! I was waiting for someone to jump on this one and report on it. Thanks for stepping up to the plate! Please do another report and add a link to the big and dany proscaline thread if you try it again!

Are you planning on pushing the dose up next time? 50-60 mg or a bit more might be the sweet spot. Shulgin mentions a dose of 30-60 mg and usually his doses are a little smaller than what most people do. Starting with Shulgins low dose is always a good idea, I usually start off with Shulgin's low dose, and I'm glad you have proceeded with caution. Now that you've found how benign the experience is at 30 mg do you plan on pushing it up next time?

Excited to hear more about your trials with this true novelty! Oh and I hear jimscaline should be doing the rounds soon...
 
Havent seen jimscaline anywhere, but maybe im not looking in the right places...

Might step up the dose on the next trial, but that depends on a number of factors. For example, I need at least 2 free days for any experiment with long lasting substances. Also, for the moment i do not have enough substance for a second larger trial (a vendor mistake that they promised to fix soon). Usually shulgin low dose is enough for me to have a light trip, and with new substances its always better to trip lightly then head down a hole head first :)

Most likely next time will be 50 maybe 60mg. But I have other substances to try before that that Ive been dying to taste.
