I've read through approximately 100% of this large thread so far, yet I still have a few questions. I have some 4-AcO-DMT fumarate available, but I still am unsure about the exact dosage to take.
For a little background, I've had experience with multiple breakthrough and non-breakthrough trips with DMT at varying dosages, Ayahuasca, some great mushroom and MDMA experiences (sometimes in combo with each other sometimes by themselves), 5-MeO-DiPT, 5-Meo-MiPT, and 25i-NBOMe. I wouldn't consider myself a psychedelic connoisseur, but I've had my fair share of experiences.
Other than the 1mg of 25i I took about a month ago (a great experience I might add) I have had almost a full decade of a break from psychedelics due to personal and professional reasons, not because I ever lost my love for them. A few weeks ago I tried 25mg of DPT via IM and experienced nothing (I've never tried IM so I'm guessing it went subcutaneous). +30 mins of the IM injection I insufflated another 25mg and felt nothing but a pretty nice euphoria and slight audio distortion, but nothing psychedelic.
The next week I acquired some 4-HO-DPT and a friend and I both tried 25mg insufflated. My research (probably flawed because there is so much variance on erowid and all over the net) told me I should be feeling it fairly quickly, and 25 minutes went by and nothing, so we decided to insufflate another 25mg. Approximately 15 minutes after the second 25mg dose I started to experience the same euphoria I experienced with the 25mg IM/25mg insufflated DPT and was somewhat upset, so 20 minutes after the seconds 25mg dose of 4-HO I decided "screw it I want to experience a full blown experience!" So my friend and I split the remaining 140mg of DPT that I had left. So in total we both insufflated a total of 50mg of 4-HO-DPT and 70mg of DPT throughout the course of an hour. About 10 minutes after that 70mg of DPT we were both hit like a ton of bricks and were transported into a full +3 experience. It came in waves and at times we had laughing fits with pure euphoria and bliss, and at times we experienced an easy +4 with total ego loss and felt as if we were made of nothing but total light, love and energy. It came in waves, and at certain times it definitely seemed like it overstayed it's welcome. Suffice to say, other than a few very strong DMT breakthroughs the 50mg 4-HO-DPT + 70mg DPT insufflated was definitely the most intense of all, I can't even put it into human language and I would probably not want to try it at that dosage again.
Now that you know my background and experience, what would a medium to medium-strong dose of 4-AcO-DMT fumarate be. I'm looking for great OEV and CEV visuals, introspection, and an all around good experience. I don't want to sit in a corner in fetal position begging for it to stop. I have read a lot about this stubstance, but the majority of doses vary so much. Some people freak out on 15mg and others have a great time on 50mg. For the average psychedelic user what would be a medium-strong dosage. And remember, this is the less-potent fumarate, not the freebase. On this forum people rarely state their doses let alone if it was the freebase or the fumarate. I have the fumarate, and I am thinking approximately 25mg orally. I want to insufflate it, but I've read that first-pass metabolism is somewhat crucial with this substance unlike other psychs like DPT, so I'm pretty set on an oral dose unless someone would convince me otherwise. From the background I wrote above, would 25mg of fumarate give me a moderate to moderate-strong oral dose?
Sorry for the long post, I'm just looking for an answer from someone who has experience with mutlitple different substances, particularly someone who has tried both the fumarate and freebase/HCL versions of 4-AcO-DMT. Thanks for reading.
