I bioassayed 15mg of HOT-7 no more than 2 weeks ago, with a very dissapointing result. It took 3 hours to kick in(probably due to having eaten not long before dosing) and then gave me no OEV or CEV's to speak of and a bit of insomnia/tipsyness.
I re-tested HOT-7 last night, ingesting 20mg orally at approximatly 8.30pm.
I felt first alerts around 9.00pm, nice headspace, badly co-ordinated and heightened senses(sounds from outside, normally very quiet, peaked and sent tingles all over my body etc).
At around 9.30pm I was peaking. I opened my curtains to let the street light cast shadows of wavering trees onto my bedroom wall which created an incredible effect; the shadows of the tree branches turned into little shaddow puppets which were all dancing around and hacking away at some kind of sculpture. I have to say I did find it rather scary, but I just had to watch, I was too intrigued and wanted to see what they were building.
I watched the shadow puppets untill around 11pm, at which time I discovered music! First I tried a bit of Psy-Trance, but it didn't bode well with the shadow people and took the atmosphere of the trip from happy and interested to neutral and bored. Then I switched on to some regular Trance, which was perfect. The music appreciation with this substance is insane, on par with MDxx. Unlike MDxx, you couldn't just listen to any old crap and enjoy it, HOT-7 makes you appreciate good music for what it is...Art. There was a big difference between songs, artists and even sets. I found some(the good ones, the real 'art') tracks perfect, dancing away, body writhing in pure euphoria(I was making love to the music, man). But others were just terrible. These were songs I used to like sober, but once I heard them under the influence of HOT-7 I saw(or heard) through their fake, plastic shells and into what they really were... Meaningless peices of money making shite.
The music went on for hours and hours, it was wonderful. I decided to go and turn on the blacklight and draw in highlighter. I found myself lost, struck for any artistic or creative talent. I thought, at the time, that this was the downfall of HOT-7, but I was wrong. As I sat there, a bit dissapointed that I couldnt think of anything to do, the pen started moving on the paper. I started writing without thinking, the drug was writing for me without conscious thought. I wrote several pages of drug-induced blabber, you know, the usual shit you come up with on trips-'Yellow is my best colour', 'Bring on the next one', 'The air is heavy, thick and wet', 'Smile, it's a good day' etc.
After drawing and writing for what must have been an age I needed to go to the toilet. Up untill now everything had been good, but nothing too amazing. As I got up to turn on the normal light, the world changed. It went from trippy, warping 'normality', to a completely new dimension. The walls, floor and everything else in the room morphed in one big wave(like a shockwave from a large blast) from the norm, to a complete wonderland/cartoon. It looked as if I was in the game Kingdom Hearts(a trippy game if ever I played one), incredible.
I repeated this process(music and going back and forth to the bathroom, not to pee, just for fun!) a few times before retiring to my room for the night. I was about to put on some music when a god-almight roar came through my window. I ran and swiped open the curtains to see what I now think(hope!) was a police helicopter. At the time, it looked like some kind of mechanical beast, bright flashing lights, loud roaring noises and green laser-beams protruding hundreds of feet before it. It circled my house for about 45 minutes before dissapearing into the night.
By now I was quite tired, it was around 3am and I was still peaking very hard. I decided to put on some nice mellow music in the vein attempt to catch some sleep. Long story short I was still peaking at 4am and watched the sunset(marvellous) untill 5am, at which time I was down enough to get 15 minutes of sleep?
I was scared to take any Valium to aid my sleep as I was unsure of it's MAOI properties and effects they would have on Valium(and also I can accuratly measure the duration of this substance without). I could have done with some Cannabis on the peak, I think it would have been a heavenly combination, but I couldnt find my weed which I stashed somewhere in the room last time I was tripping.
All in all i'd say this was one of my favourite trips, and i've had a fair amount of trips on various substances-common and uncommon. One of the best things about it(there are so many, but this stands out nicely for me) is that it is completely, 100% void of any physical nusciences(no nausia or body load, just a pleasurable tingle from stimulis such as noise and touch).
With a duration of around 9.5-10 hours from ingestion to relative sobriety and a peak duration of about 7.5-8 hours this one is a brilliant find. I would say(although it was a while ago that I did it) this substance far surpasses 2C-T-7. IMO.
