1230 hours Now that I'm more experienced, I am easily aware of the tell-tale signs of coming up. The first wee twinge of nausea can be felt. The senses are starting to be affected, so very mildly at this point, and I can feel extra warmth in my head, especially behind my eyes.
1300 hours The concentration of my vision, mixed with the slight churning of my stomach means we're happily on our way to the peak, which is still two or so hours away. Now is when I make the most mistakes typing, because my fingers want to move so quickly. Music becomes more ethereal. Everything does, actually. This is the first time I've done this in the middle of the day, so it's very nice to have pure, bright sunshine pouring throughout the house. It's a beautiful warm day.
1312 hours Just need to note that this is when the waves are starting in any appreciable effect, and the part where I sometimes feel like I could lay down and kinda-sorta pass out.
1315 hours So I decided to lie down, to get the full effect. This is the most I've experienced the visual effects of the chemical since I started experimenting with it a month ago. Wow! I have red bands and green spots in my peripheral vision.
1345 hours Just to give an idea of how stimmy this becomes: I just gave all three of my dogs a very thorough bath, washed the bathroom (and tub), and vacuumed the floors in the house. The visuals are still pretty obvious. This is one of the best trips yet!
1422 hours Wow, I don't know what is different about this time around, but I'm getting a lot more done than I usually am able to on this chemical. I would have thought at LEAST an hour and half passed since I typed my last note. Drinking lots of water. I took a shower at around 1400 hours, and it rejuvenated me.
1526 hours For the entire last hour, I've been listening to binaural beats, brainwave generators, putting me into creative states of meditation and self-hypnosis. What a great idea! This has been intense.
1730 Broke out the photo albums, and was transported into the past. I totally spaced the world out and was exploring the stories of those photo albums. But, with the stiffness in my spine and joints, I realize that the peak has passed, and now it's time to condition for the crash. My favorite way is a gentle toothbrushing w/ a mentholated rinse, some hot tea—a sandwich—and as soon as there aren't any more tasks I want to get done today, then the ultimate in crash-prep: smoking a bowl! I expect this is pretty much the end of this experience. All in all, it was one of the best. Powerful and yet comfortable in every way. I accelerated through the atmosphere and orbited the planet a few times, and now I'm coming down, so far so good. See you all back at ground control. Took 9mg of melatonin, a glass of water, and ate a chicken sandwich. (That wasn't TOO hard.)
Based on the last few experience reports, with 150mg of swallowed 6-APB, I come up around 1 hour, peak between 2.5 - 3.5 hours in, and start coming down at around 6 hours. Note, that unless you can fall asleep, the come down will last another six hours easy.
Edit:
1922 hours About half an hour ago I smoked a big bowl. This come-down might as well be the plateau for other stimulants/psychedelics. I'm still greatly under the influence, although mostly my muscles are tense, I find it hard to relax my body, sit comfortably... Muscles are just primed, tense, ready to go, but they won't relax.
Other Thoughts: So far, in February, (this month) I have taken various amounts of 6-APB from 50mg to 225mg on seven different occasions. I have not noticed any tolerance buildup. If anything, re-administering every few days, even day after day (as I have done on one occasion), tends to make each new experience a bit stronger than the last. (Except when I plugged 100mg. That was unexpectedly mild, and I almost would rather be sober.) I insufflated 50mg with 100mg swallowed during one of my experiments, and I remember that being a good trip, but still not as enjoyable as 150mg taken orally. Swallowing the powder in capsules is my preferred ROA.
Term effects since I've been using this RC? General tiredness caused by not enough sleep; mornings-after tend to be a bit less-than-real feeling, like I'm not wholly there, like part of my mind is in another room, and not paying attention, so you have to consciously bring it over from its room, where it's been reading a book, writing poetry or something.
Good mixes? I've only really mixed vitamins/minerals and shit like that. I have a very strong feeling that the DHA I supplement with is just good to have, like it keeps all the windows clean and shiny, or opens the blinds, or blows the clouds away, or blinks away the dust. I generally feel good like that about fifteen minutes after taking it.
Okay, don't know if this is something in my diet or what, but last couple of days I have noticed a distinctive smell from my urine that reminds me of methylmercaptan (or the gas that gives “Asparagus Pee” its smell.) And, I haven't eaten asparagus. This is supposed to be my last experiment for a couple of weeks, anyway, so I'll find out what comes of the weird smell—if it persists or goes away.
As far as neurotoxicity, I have not experienced any of the zaps being described by others, although I am familiar with the neurotoxic effects of other drugs, like methamphetamine, where I would sometimes wake from a deep sleep disconnected from my body, feeling as though I wasn't breathing, or my heart beating. It was like being in a nightmare when you die, but you don't get that “out” of waking up and realizing it's just a dream. People might have been walking around me, I could sense their presences, and yet I couldn't even scream or get their attention, even though everything in my mind was screaming for help! But nothing of the sort with 6-APB. If anything, it's like accelerating in a rocket through the atmosphere, orbiting the planet for a few hours, and then dropping back into the atmosphere and parachuting gently to Earth.
If anything, I have really learned how to manage the new physics of this altered-reality. Whereas it used to take me up to twenty minutes to relax the muscle that lets me urinate, now I am able to relax that muscle at will. I am even able to focus on close objects when my vision starts getting wacky after peak and into the landing (as it does every time). It has also become easier for me to resist the impulse to clench my teeth or bite my cheeks.
The best thing I have done while experimenting with 6-APB was listening to programmable binaural beats with a pair of headphones. I had the most success with my brainwave generator software tonight than I ever have before. I enjoyed several programs, but really enjoyed 7hz. In fact, as soon as The Who is finished playing, I'll probably listen to the binaural beats again. The best way for me to describe the psychoactive effects of 6-APB is to use Freud's structural model of the psyche, and to say that the “Ego” is largely suppressed, and the “Id” is getting pinged the fuck out. Meanwhile, someone's paid off the “Super Ego” which is engaging in some serious reality-stretching, and the “Id” is in charge and intently playing a wild game of make-believe. Spending a few hours moving from an Alpha state to a Theta state and back again really put the reigns in my hands.
The pleasures of the plateau period of 6-APB persist through the “landing.” Stimulation remains strong. I notice that while I miss the euphoria from the peak, I am yet content with what remains. What happens during the comedown is that the “Ego” suppression slowly loses effect, and the ability to accept the fantasy disappears. I find that it's just as exciting, though, returning to reality, because these are the physics of the rigid world, and for a time, they did not constrain me. It is now 2027 hours, almost nine hours since I swallowed the three 50mg capsules. I enjoy typing this experience report. It is actually a good time to reflect on it all, since I'm both in and out of the effects.
Even after day-to-day use, returning to social life isn't difficult. What remains from the trip are bags under the eyes, (easily explained away as lack of sleep) and a stronger sense of individuality. I tend to notice more self-esteem, and feel good about myself, and have more confidence in my ability to influence the world around me. But, I have noticed decreased patience. And what inhibits me from telling people what I think disappears for a while, too, so I become more reactive. There's still a part of my mind that isn't paying attention until I consciously send a messenger up there and ring the bell, but as my physiology returns to normal, not too much has changed. Am I addicted to this chemical? Not that I know of, as I have never experienced anything like a withdrawal symptom, but I'll let you know the next couple of weeks.
edit:
If the so called brain zap feels like an acute headache twinge, then I experienced a couple of those last night, after taking 1000mg of vitamin c.
