hi all. quick question. So I obtained 100mgs of aMT which I was planning on doing with a couple buddies at an upcoming Amon Tobin show then, circa T+6hrs, blasting off with some 5-meo-DMT after the show. There's 3 of us and 100mgs of aMT...is 33.33333mgs a proper dose for our first time? Packaging says 50mgs is perfect and I've seen several others in this thread say likewise and that below 50 can make for a rickety trip. Perhaps I should give them the 50mg doses of aMT to ensure they trip proper and dose myself some 2c-p? I really want to taste the aMT though.We are all experienced psychedelic/RC kids, but not yet with this compound.
I've found that for me ideal oral doses of the freebase are in the range 50mg - 80mg. YMMWV, but while 30mgs will definitely be more than noticeable, and will give you a good taste of what it can do, for me anything less than 50mg or so is enough to get negative sidies like nausea, and a general loosely unpleasant moistness in the arse area ((( It rips through my guts every time. Talk about ring of fire. Dose up on Loperamide before starting with the AMT but even so still get stomach cramping and diarrhea. ))) without quite giving enough of the desired positive effects to compensate for them. It's just not quite there at that sort of dose.
You could always try chasing a starter dose if it's the freebase you've got. 10mg-ish smoked is plenty for me to get things kicked off, either drop the remainder or use for later smoked redoses as and when you feel the need. Some say the effects smoked are qualitively different to effects oral. I'm not sure. Certainly the euphoric aspect comes on faster and stronger, but the visuals and the serene, Zen-like introspections have both still tended to catch up later with the peak / plateau.
Styrofoam, that's pretty much it right there - sounds like you had a good one.

Like you say it's definitely massively empathogenic as well as psychedelic, but in a gently relaxed, unforced kinda way at my ideal doses, as compared with, say, the pushier comparable empathic characteristics of MDMA. Very rewarding and therapeutic, the openness of it, and the way it opens you up to the simplest of pleasures, like just sitting and watching the sun come up over your garden with a dawn chorus for a soundtrack. It can have a seriously dark and brutal side to it that you need to be aware of too, especially for me at doses much above 100mg. There can be an almost overwhelming rush of thought as the come-up nears its peak that accelerates and accelerates, throwing out tangents in a confusing hard to follow way. Have found myself stuck in loops repeating the same behaviours trying to manage all the various elements of even quite simple tasks, or spiralling onto the same thought over and over with no way to break out. Usually it settles out as things level off, but on one occasion I was hospitalised under section for the night. Discovered wandering the streets stark-bollock naked demanding I be allowed to make some kind of Messianic televised address to the nation, and arrested for my own safety given the hostility building from an audience of drunken twats who didn't even have the good sense to recognise something clearly weren't right with me, and perhaps at that point I needed a bleedin' ambulance. Still, noone died, so all good fun in the end, and generally find it's a good one to think on. So long as I keep on the right side of the madness, I feel myself to be piercingly insightful, rational, and lucid, and have used that state to make a couple of key decisions in life I would probably have still got round to eventually all the sooner for it. Often that state lingers on for a few days afterwards, which can be massively useful, and I tend to feel as I've given the inside of my head a good airing out and a bit of of a dust, clearing away the cobwebs.
