RCs The 2-Methyl-2-butanol Thread

Lager drinkers don't seem to have a problem with drinking something that tastes like shit to get a drunken feeling .....


Oh no he di'nt! Lagers good if you select wisely, although I suppose that applies to anything, you can get some fucking discusting ciders but on the other hand there are some lovelys out there!
 
does anybody else think that this molecule itself looks like a stick figure falling face first with a hangover on its head?

The skeletal figure definitely resembles a snapshot of how you'll look if you take more than 15ml in one sitting.

To reply again to somebody above - the "hangover" on it is either absent entirely or present depending on how much you take. 10ml will probably give you the 2M2B "hangover" which is much like the drowsiness one might experience from Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or a similar OTC sleep aid. The OTC sleep aids are much different on a molecular scale, but that drowsiness after effect describes the 2M2B "hangover" the most accurately IMO.
 
Also, if you take 2M2B hours before ethanol, you become overly sensitized to the effects of ethanol. Use caution.

So I wanted to see if this phenomenon would happen if I were to reverse the combination. If I would drink ethanol before 2M2B, rather than after it, they wouldn't interact so fiercely. It could possibly be due to which molecule is occupying the receptors when the other molecule comes along and tries to attach.

I give 2M2B a thumbs up by the way. It's a fine legal successor to GHB.
 
Someone did say (in a negative sence) that it left one quite sedated after the initial fun had worn off :D

Has some kind of hangover. Even cheaper than GBL :O
 
It's nice,very nice................apart from the taste :|

I can only imagine this is what toxic pond water tastes like.

When poured into a glass of water,it looks like a glistening,transparent oil slick.

Stir well,flavour well,glug it enjoy.
 
When a friend of mine mentioned an alcohol analog on this board I laughed in his face. Now, reading the reports of drowsiness, I'm thinking it could be a viable replacement for my benzo use to aid sleep.

Can anyone comment on using M2B2 as a sleep-aid? Has anybody used it, say, multiple times in a week and noticed anything unusual in terms of effects?

I'm going to do more reading on this...

I've used it day to day. Sleep onset isn't noteworthy but sleep continuity is definitely a plus if you have trouble not waking up throughout the night.
 
Hmm. I'm nicking this for Other Drugs =D Haven't heard much about this one for quite some time.

EADD -> OD

I'm reviving this because I've got 250ml coming my way and I'm wondering if anybody has tried plugging this, or am I going to have to pioneer?
2-methyl-2-butanol was used with tribromoethanol in the drug avertin, an anesthetic that was used rectally in humans.
 
It tastes SO WRONG!! I remember having it last year but now I'm too much of a wimp to drink it, maybe it just doesn't go well with cranberry juice lol. Anything else I could mix it with?

What can you mix it with?
 
Is this worth it if you're getting GBL already dirt cheap as a try? Hows it's effects?? BTW for advice drinking crap - mix in with some energy drink and down it.
 
reviving b/c I couldn't let this inaccuracy left un-addressed
^ I've never used this stuff but extrapolating from combining GBL with benzos it wouldn't seem like a wise combo - if anything they tend to cancel each other out and repiratory depression may well be an issue too especially with a fairly high dose of an antipsychotic in the mix. I would tread with great caution if I were you
Umm, I agree w/ your advice; but your info on the pharmacodynamics of the drugs involved are highly incorrect. See below =D

Is it not just a weaker and more toxic cousin of GBL? Has never interested me cos that doesn't sound too promising but maybe I'm missing something?

Yea you're missing something; GBL acts as a GABA-b agonist; 2-Methyl-2-butanol is a "positive modulator" at GABA-a receptors (basically a GABA-a agonist; class includes barbiturates, carbamates, benzos, etc). Yea they create "similar" anecdotal experiences; but aren't as cross tolerance as say two GHB & GBL is (GABA-b); or diazepam & alprazolam is (GABA-a).

I have no idea about the actual chemistry of the drug and/or its structural relation to GBL; but when it comes to pharmacology & how the drug acts on the brain, 2M2B is in no-way-shape-or-form "weaker" or "toxic" form of GBL
 
^ im 50/50 over how good it is. The less toxic than EtOH part, the little hangover part, and the potency (therefore cost) doesn't quite outweigh the taste. Although I will admit if you're running late downing a shot of this is ideal for catchup.

Also, free vials :)
