A friend of mine and I once combined methylone and LSD. Doing so resulted in a bit of an ass whooping for us. We started the night off with 150 mgs of methylone each. After that had run it's course, we each snorted 75 mgs of methylone again, and then AGAIN after that we did another 75 mgs methylone. It was not the wisest choice in retrospect to take so much methylone, but I guess that's partly why methylone can be such a bitch, it's too fiendy, and once you're in the throws of a methylone experiment, your judgement is definitely affected. So we each had approximately 300 mgs of methylone in us , and as we were on the downswing of our second bump, my buddy suggests we each take 1.5 hits of good quality LSD, I'd guestimate 100 mcgs per blotter.
Now I've heard about taking a methyenedioxy compound before a psychedelic to potentiate the effects of the psychedelics prior to this night, but I had never done such a thing before. We both experienced some pretty intense potentiation I tell ya. It felt really forced and not clean or smooth. The whole trip had some very intense jaw clenching, my neck and shoulders and hamstrings were also very very tense, and there was a lot of visual stuff going on, but it wasn't nice or pretty, it just felt like too much, too strong. Lots of distortions and visuals that I just couldn't make sense of what was registering in my brain. It wasn't anything like LSD on it's own though, everything felt ramped up a bunch of notches. My nervous system felt very over excited, and my thinking didn't feel like it was going in a straight like, like each thought didn't connect to the previous thought. Also, I was urinating A LOT all night, it felt like a VERY dehydrating combo. I didn't really sleep at all once I lied down, I just lied there until it was bright out then I got up. My buddy the next morning said he had some extremely unpleasant lingering after effects in his nervous system, and I felt moody and lethargic/depressed for about 3 weeks after the trip. I'm feeling much better now, but whoa, that was scary.
I ended up taking a temorary break from tripping that is still in effect after this experience. I've been tripping out pretty regulary for the last 12 months approximately, and the crazy mental after effects of this trip gave me a very good reason to let my brain chemistry reset. I'll be tripping this summer again, but I will be shying away from multi drug combos...unless we're talking about mixing a little weed or maybe even some N20 into. I just felt like the pandoras box of combining drug A + drug B = maybe a cool combo, but maybe not, is just not a practice I want to cultivate. I think I get more out of psychedelic drug use not from performing experiments with my brain chemistry, so much as taking a single effective dose of a single drug in a good setting and hopefully entering a constructive state of mind.
On a side note, I think this experience would have turned out much nicer if we hadn't overdone the methylone so ludicrously. If you can take MDxx before a psychedelic in order to potentiate the effects, I think a better dosing regiment for us would have been like 100-125 mgs methylone all at once orally, then maybe 1 hit of LSD. 300 mgs methylone + 1.5 hits of LSD was way too hard on the mind and body.
Anyone else have any crazy stories about MDxx before a psychedelic, LSD or otherwise ???
