Here's what happened to me if anyone fancies reading something long:
Here is my report on 5-meo-DALT, I’m writing this 3 days after taking it, to be completely honest I was a bit silly with my dosage, this is partially down to being an idiot and partially down to the last batch I had apparently not being very good.
I purchased 1g of this around a year ago, at that time it was a white, almost fluffy powder, extremely difficult to arrange in to lines, at that time I started with a small line, followed by several small bombs and can’t say I felt much until I’d taken quite a lot, roughly 200mg, at which point I had some minor trails in my vision and a very mild body buzz… That is where the similarities to this gram, which I bought about a week ago from a different online source end.
The current batch is a beige, almost tan coloured substance of the same consistency as the last, assuming (stupidly) that the potency wouldn’t be much different I poured (this was a bad idea, measuring is definitely the way forward) what I would say must have been 80-100mg in to a cigarette paper and washed it down. I had eaten a sandwich around 3 hours earlier so would have been on close enough to an empty stomach. While filling the rizla I also spilled a tiny amount on to the table, so proceeded to taste this, it was foul and had a strong, bitter, chemical taste which I fond hard to get rid of, this taste also leads me to think that snorting would be a terrible idea.
The first effects came on after roughly 30 minutes, my perception of distance completely changed, oddly corners began to look very odd, also small things such as a spider web on my wall stood out a lot more than normal. The body buzz was also quite strong almost immediately. The effects intensified in waves, my depth perception was changing rapidly and the buzz became more and more intense, I also noticed an increased temperature.
After about 30 minutes after onset I decided to go outside to smoke a cigarette, as I sometimes find with mushrooms I was concerned with what my neighbours would think if they saw me, however I was still capable of rational thought and deduced that I probably didn’t look as wrecked as I felt so carried on. My perception of time had changed by this point, but after half a cigarette I began to notice background noises becoming very loud so decided to put the cigarette out and go back inside to lay down.
I sat on my sofa for around 15 minutes (I only know this because this is where I paused the music I was listening to) before everything became far too intense, I felt completely restless and was experiencing a massive body rush as well as strong audio hallucinations, I also noticed that completely made up words kept entering my mind. I wandered from room to room and kept thinking that if I could get comfortable I would start to enjoy the experience.
At this point I went upstairs and decided to lay in bed, I checked my watch at this point and it was roughly an hour after onset. The audio hallucinations became more and more intense and I had what I can only describe as a psychedelic overlay on my vision, shapes were completely distorted, edges became sharp and everything appeared to taper in towards the centre. Moving my hands in front of my face produced neon trails and I had visions of what I can only describe as 2 people made from several oval shapes, sitting together… I can’t really describe how I was seeing this however, as I knew it wasn’t there but was aware of it whether my eyes were open or closed. My muscles also felt very tense, especially my wrists.
I could not rest while laying down so continued to wander around the house, my perception was heavily altered still and I had to keep telling myself that the effects would eventually die down to a pleasant level. Although I did not feel sick I decided to try to vomit, but gave up very quickly.
I continued to experience heavy CEV’s, psychedelic trails and a complete distortion of perception for around 2 more hours before out of nowhere the body buzz significantly calmed down. At this point I was able to lay on my bed and relax, the visuals were still as strong, if not stronger, but the buzz was replaced with a feeling of relief at being over the worst of it and the experience actually became very pleasant from this point onwards. I could now focus on my watch and the screen of my phone again, however my phone did look completely different, the font appeared to change and everything was more clear. Something I also took great pleasure from was the trails, as it appeared as though I could throw neon fireballs if I pushed my hands forward… I spent around an hour laying on my back doing this (I’m glad I was at home along as I would struggle to explain myself to a sober person), before deciding that I was now in a fit state to go back downstairs and ride out the rest of the trip.
The next hour was spent listening to music, I decided to listen to some Venetian Snares, some of it is quite frantic, but this seemed to make perfect sense and sounded very tight compared to while sober. The visuals had dies down, apart from the text on my computer screen appearing to drop down, then expand periodically, my phone also still looked different.
At around 4.5 hours after onset I was standing outside when I came back down to earth with a bang… Sort of, the psychedelic layer over my visuals fell off almost completely and I felt slightly tired and quite hungry… This was not a gradual process, I went from feeling one way to feeling another within a split second.
At this point I decided to go and meet some friends as I was now feeling in control again, the walk from my house to the bus stop takes roughly 15 minutes, during the walk I felt very positive and was highly entertained by my own thoughts, enjoying picking apart the last few hours in my head. The feeling was similar to taking a small dose of MDMA, however it didn’t last much longer than half an hour before I gradually returned to baseline.
After the effects had worn off I stayed out for around 4 hours, had a few beers and was maybe slightly more chatty than usual, I got home at around midnight and had no problem sleeping and woke at around 8:45am the next day with no hangover.
In hindsight I really should have measured it, while I would say that overall it was a good experience, the come up got a bit hairy at times and was hard work. I would liken the experience to mushrooms, except the visuals were quite digital for me and seemed to be more distorted than I have ever experienced on any other psychedelic or hallucinogenic. The made up words thing I experienced has only ever happened to me before on LSD, however that is probably where the similarities between that and 5 meo DALT end.
I would be interested in trying a smaller dose, maybe half of what I took on this occasion, as I feel that if the come up had not been so intense and frantic that I would have enjoyed the entire experience and not just the end.
I should also say that I do not recommend anyone starting on even half of the dose I took, especially if they are not experienced with large doses of other psychedelic or hallucinogenic substances. There were a lot of times during the first couple of hours where things could easily have gone the wrong way, however my internal monologue is pretty good at keeping me grounded even when my body and the rest of my brain have other ideas.
Hope this helps somebody. Take care.
