3nd trial with MET IM (50 mg)
My relationship with this chemical seems to be up and down. My previous experience with 30 mg IM was fantastic, but that was undoubtedly enhanced by the great set and setting (see the previous page in this thread for details). This time, I wasn’t 100% intent on tripping, but it was my only chance for another few months so I figured I’d give it a try anyway. What’s an hour or two anyway on a slow Saturday night?
Initially I was into it, but the intensity escalated quickly. The peak occurred around the 5-10 minute mark. I attempted to listen to music, but it failed to provide much comfort; my thoughts were becoming more chaotic and the music seemed distant. I ventured outside for some fresh air and nearly threw up, at which point I was seriously regretting my decision. My mind-set oscillated between neutral and negative.
The visuals were outstanding, particularly with eyes closed, somewhat reminiscent of DPT, but not quite as lavish. MET engaged the visual system more selectively that DPT, which seems to spill over into a more encompassing synaesthetic experience. My one DPT experience was with a very high dose, so I can't be sure that I’m making a legitimate distinction. I felt more comfortable with eyes open; the alien visuals would quickly become overwhelming when I closed my eyes.
There were orderly arrangements of geometric faces marching in circles. Their mouths seemed to be opening and closing, and inside each mouth there was a brilliant white light. This was impressive, but not enjoyable, at least in my state of mind. At this time, for about the first 30 minutes, I was definitely resisting the compound. Each time a mouth opened it gave me this unpleasant impression that I was losing part of myself, or losing touch with reality. Needless to say this whole experience was powerfully psychedelic. The mouth phenomenon or sensations of opening and closing was very similar to my experience with 25 mg IM on top of a moderate dose of 4-ho-dmt, but completely different from my experiences with 30 mg IM and another with vaporization. Also, I felt more unsteady and shaky than with previous trials. Perhaps it's important to note that I had taken 4.5 mg hydergine 4 hours prior (no piracetam though).
I wasn't incredibly observant with respect to the chronology, but the plateau seemed to last just under an hour, with aftereffects keeping me awake for another two. I felt much better, actually great, as the plateau began to fade. The aftereffects were quite pleasant. And one more thing ... I experienced some significant pain and swelling in my left arm about 30 min post injection. I suspect the solution may have been too concentrated and caused some kind of hyperosmotic response in the tissue. I used a 2:1 ratio of MET to citric acid, distilled water, a micron filter, and checked the pH, but for some reason my body did not react well. I also remember tasting citrate on my tongue, but wasn't sure if it was real or hallucination. The swelling has completely resolved this morning, and there is a very minimal amount of tenderness. Anyone have any ideas for why this happened? I may come back to MET some day, but I think it's going in long-term storage for now. Despite my wide range of experiences, I must say it’s definitely a worthwhile compound.
P.S. Samadhi, I recommend starting at 30-40 mg for your first try with this compound if you go with IM admin. 50 mg may be a bit much.
