Sounds about right to me. Was thinking it seemed roughly equipotent with 2c-c the day after my experience with it. Curious as to whether the hangover will increase with dose.
Your greatly confused old friend! Ask psood, I know hes discovered, IM'ing and plugging(though to a much lesser extent) provide states, especially with tryps or diss's(even phens really though I haven't tried as much with them) that are totally unique. Its weirdly hard to describe but after IM'ing a strong dose of DPT I finally understood how oddly unique the state of IM psychedelics is(I got a strong taste once with IM DMT but...). 4-subs go oh so well with it. Its so much more about the insta trip, which BTW IMO it is not, IV maybe but IM'ing or even plugging most things takes atleast 5 minutes before an alert or two show and about 10ish before your under much of a gauntlet. Believe me its some weird shit, I don't even like needles, been way to much of a pussy to IV myself, IM'ing I can manage but I hate it, but can't occasionally(once every couple weeks/every few exps, so notice I don't do it to often, plus I don't like having pin cushion thighs/give 'em time to recoup)return to that state. One further thing, IM psyches have such a perfect duration and even ride, its like you easily transition from A to B like sliding on perfectly formed ice than glide back down. I used to love the come up's as well(would have claimed to it was apart of my experience! In fact I have old BL posts about that shit... ha), but after a few hundred under my belt and times a changin' for me it wasn't as rational anymore. Its really good to hear though about the nausea, only reason i'm iffy is mescaline is one of the only psychedelics that I can fast on and take a fair dose of and still have a chance to puke, so I figured this may be in line but i'll just forget about that! As for plugging, anyone whos eaten 2c-B and than later tried plugging 2c-B will get it as well, haha! Oh and I would have to think as well, that it was your excitement that lead to higher expectations, i've had more than enough mecscaline experiments for one man to ever wish for, yet I know if I had the chance to try a potent closely related chemical that I would not only be excited but my expectations would be astronomic. Thinking of that i'm fairly glad I didn't get any AL right away, I probably would have definitely enjoyed the trip but still been disappointed by its apparent lack of "depth" or ability to "take someone somewhere".Don't get exaggerated ideas about the nausea, my trip partner so far had to throw up on everything, egg salad included.
I don't do IM or plugging, although I'm not oblivious to the advantages those ROA's offer but decided to refrain from utilizing them at some point. I have patience enough to wait through the comeup and it's part of my ritual in a sense, I don't need to insta-trip.
The last mild/gentle/light compound I explored was BOD, which I found a lot more interesting and enjoyable but that's perhaps entirely attributable to the unreasonably high expectations I had for the performance of a mescaline analogue.
Hmm, do you have a reason for this or are you just being cautiously natured? I've never noticed one ROA(except maybe IM for certain things that don't do muscle tissue well...)cause issue whilst another is good besides IV and thats usually for other substances. I would just make sure to let everyone know the obvious, cut the dose down majorly when plugging/IM'ing! I also feel you on the MDMA, I guess I just let class boundaries go long ago, just because something is classified as by a certain name, does not mean another chemical not under the same classification can have similar qualities. I just wouldn't cross the line of say purely claiming Mesc to be an empath or vice versa with MDMA and psychedelia. Just silly to bother with those sort of things in my mind, also is a bit negative usually so I avoid that as well!Well, maybe it was a little arrogant of me using the word clueless, sorry, but it's just that for me MDMA is a empathogen, entactogen and stimulant. AL is a pure psychedelic, so I think there's really no comparison at all, except that at a low dose, both AL and MDMA's effects are kind of hard to put a finger on or describe.
Completely my experience too, except I staggered my dose (took 20 mg extra after 2.5-3 hours).
I didn't really get any nausea, as such, it was more like the butterflie's in the stomach feeling, more like an uneasiness. And yeah, the come up is so gradual that it's really nice actually, I dont see any reason to want to shorten it, unless your short on time of cause.
I think insufflation/plugging could work quite well with this one, but actually don't see a reason to do it, and it might be dangerous, who knows![]()

You hit right where I was, I hated(not really but its damn annoying, like DPT doesn't burn much but has a bitch drip that is hard to mediate/etc), also like I stated, DPT is weird IM. It reminds me of how nasal ketamine is like being quickly covered from behind by a plush blanket and slowly laid down, where as IM ket is like being placed into a barrel and thrown off Niagara Falls IMO. IM takes a second to hit, but once it does it seems to rip you away infinitely. IM or plugged DPT has a different "frequency" I would like to say about it, its essentially the same but the transition is so smooth/quick, its so enticing. Your just laid nicely into this state that to me is like the perfect mixture of 5-MeO-DMT and DMT, not exactly but like someone took certain pieces of each, of varying intensity and combined them, thats what DPT has always reminded me of in a sense, but then it has its own wonder. At this day I like it as much as DMT and find it nearly as worthy a tool, its hard for me to say because of the true oddness of the Earth shattering vaped DMT but..considering if I could I would IM DMT all day. Either way though IM and plugging are much more than "ways to avoid nausea or the long come up", they provide states that while essentially the same, have their own unique flavor which other ROA's just cannot match. I knew someone would come in and talk about plugged 2c-B, its another one thats weird. I doubt i'll ever dose 2c-b orally again, atleast to start the experience. 2c-B is one of the few things I would actually really hesitate to snort as well, so many things in my nose but 2c-B was a bit beyond irritating. The first time I tried plugging it i'm pretty sure I used a sub par dose on another psychedelic and I had to remain seated for awhile while the "rush" took hold(obviously nicely mixed in but I could tell that the B was really working its magic). IMO your holding on way to hard, once you try it out a couple of times you see that its actually pretty easy to equate experiences even between ROA, I know most times people have realistic numbers but for psyches, all we have is "Bro just halve the dose!" as a starting point, I mean sure its super scientific and all. See what i'm getting at(if you don't its the fact we don't have set numbers but people can still equate it out though maybe not terribly accurate)? I know you, your not inexperienced and I know you would easily be able to compare an oral trip between any other ROA and your simply convincing yourself that your first ROA needs to be oral(yes, oral gives a grander baseline technically but you also have high expectations of doing many substances this summer which takes time to do orally, there is no reason not to experiment between ROA IMO when there is no information on any dangers or perceived ones just start low, I remember years ago I could usually find at least one obscure report of someone IM'ing not to mention a lot of people plug...). Safety is great and is always a first line concern but when you create needless concern, well its needless and is simply anxiety. I agree with Fag on the front that we probably should put a disclaimer for those wanting to insuff AL being the first go but thats because theirs no existing information and I don't feel safe enough in chem knowledge or even near so to claim anything about AL, really if you don't know indepth chemistry or have a real reason to fear, don't do it or else you'll start to monger! Thats to easy in this community and before not you'll have rumors flying between the even the middle level users at times. We should probably just use disclaimer's to make sure people know we just don't know and simply have their safety in mind. Gotta be careful how we approach IMO. Lastly if your terribly worried about changing your ROA(I still can't figure it out..do you have some untested goodies that you should fear or something? ;P)go for small doses. Only plug/IM 2-5 mgs of 2c-b or whatever it is your doing. One thing I also will note that I didn't is that I can actually tolerate low dose psyches via the IM route, maybe even plugging but haven't really tried with that. Orally I wouldn't take most phens in low doses if you paid me, just uncomfortable. My favorite thing has to be the fact it works so well to because I think your also confused because I rarely if ever start out my experiences plugging or IM'ing unless its something like 2c-B. I'll take a higher oral dose first and than hours later mix in the IM or plugged shots. It helps negate any tolerance formed and I like it better than bumping things. It also allows for long term experience on short terms psychedelics a much more possible thing. Everytime I prep my needles, throughout the micron filtering and it all, i'm sitting there like "Its all good, you've done this many times before." and shit like that, I really don't like IM'ing things but like stated, that state you enter. Oh and Fag, my favorite way to use 4-HO-MET besides plugged or IM is definitely insuff. Its perfect for small bumps, for me 12-14 mgs orally is a full go experience so I bump 3-6mgs and i'm in a good place, works great if I want to take a hike or something but don't feel like eating/prepping anything!Ok, seems like I have to rethink my habits in this respect. I never had any qualms about plugging, neck&wash ist just second nature at this point and I do have an iron stomach (the only time I ever had to throw up on a psych was a couple hours into a horrible OD episode). Now IM poses a somewhat bigger psychological hurdle, but the bit about help?!? rediscovering DPT caught my interest. I just hate the awful drip/taste, the clogged nose, all of it. It's one of the most interesting trypts and I'm too disgusted to take it, haha. IM would resolve that problem at least. Hm, but I'm in no hurry to pick up IMing (or plugging for that matter), I have quite a lot of stuff on my to-do list, chemicals I never got round to taste up to this point. I hope to eliminate most items this summer, and will stick to oral dosing with compounds I'm not familiar with for obvious safety related reasons (I rather be able to relate what's happening to prior experiences, which is out of the window the second I switch ROA).
Very true what you say there.AL, really if you don't know indepth chemistry or have a real reason to fear, don't do it or else you'll start to monger! Thats to easy in this community and before not you'll have rumors flying between the even the middle level users at times. We should probably just use disclaimer's to make sure people know we just don't know and simply have their safety in mind. Gotta be careful how we approach IMO.
I wonder why the dosages here are so far off from PIHKAL? I know Shulgin tends to lowball them, but he's not usually off by a factor of 2. A bad synth going around maybe?
Very true what you say there.
I have no basis what so ever for being so overly catious about snorting AL. Actually, it probably would be fine to snort something like 20-30 mg, I just think it would be unwise to do it while on 150 mg of MDMA and a handfull of ephedrine or something like that. Absolutely nothing is known about AL's pharmacology. It's a true research chemical, in every sense of the word, and it being available the way it is might make some people forget that.
I'm still waiting on a rather slow pre-order myself. I'm wondering if anyone has tried insufflating it and if it burns and also if it's more effective.
Sounds fairly interestingAny post trip retrospectives you'd like to share zn13bt? I'm thinking about taking a dose in the 50-60mg range next myself. Though i'll probably pick up a bit more before so i can take it with some friends. @42mg I got the distinct impression that it would benefit from a group setting.
I should note that I have never done mescaline, only 2Cs as far as phenethylamines go, so I can't really compare it to mescaline, but it was certainly nothing like any 2C I've done.
I wouldn't say nothing about the pharmacology is known, only in a pedantic sense in that we don't know anything about the pharmacology with certainty. It's structurally a very close analogue of mescaline with effects that seem to be in some sense subjectively akin to mescaline and so I think we can draw from that quite a bit about its pharmacology.
