acid is very mainstream, and even then it is hard to come by sometimes depending on where you're from. with so many RC's out there, a good majority of them will fall off the face of the earth forever for most of the population i feel.
question: so i recently did 4-aco-dmt again, but it was from a different source this time. the first time i received 20mg from a friend and had a very intense trip and amazing time. lots of closed eyed visuals, and the clarity of them was amazing. they were so real and distinct, and it was like i was watching a movie with my eyes closed. trees also had a very unique look to them that was very intense, and colors stood out like you wouldn't believe. the next time that i did 20mg it came from a different source, and i weighed out the dosage myself. the experience wasn't as intense though, and my thoughts didn't flow as freely on it. it was almost slightly hard to think on it if you know what i mean. i also didn't get very intense closed-eyed visuals, but they were there slightly if i concentrated on it, but definitely not as crisp looking. it was like i was waiting for the trip to really take off but it never happened to the extent that i wanted, and at the end of the trip i was pretty disappointed. i was pretty bummed about the experience. the environment around me also didn't change as much as i expected it to. the first time it felt like i was in a totally new place, but the second time everything was pretty much the same as if i were sober. the setting was also the same for both trips.
maybe the first time i got the HCL form, or maybe my friend weighed out slightly more than 20mg? maybe the quality of my product the second time was slightly less pure? i waited at least a month between trips, so i know tolerance isn't really an issue. is there a certain dose with this drug that you need to achieve in order for thoughts to flow smoothly, and maybe i just didn't reach it? should i push 30mg or 40mg next time?
i'm tripping again in a few weeks with another friend who has never tried it before, and i won't have time to test out which dose the sweet spot is at with my batch. how close do you think i am from reaching that certain "sweet spot" in order to have a good time? (judging from your experiences with lower dosages, etc. i know no one can really tell me, but some estimates would be nice). does it sound like 5 mg more is all that is needed? or would it be fine for each of us to just pop 30 or 40mg to make sure that we at least reach the minimum sweet-spot dose? it seems like with this stuff it's really hard to "over-trip" (unless you do crazy amounts), but you can definitely "under-trip" by not having enough to push you into the mentality that you're trying to reach.
