I've got a secondhand trip to report on this one, not with too much intimate detail but it sure is promising.
The tripper was a 67 year old man with almost 50 years worth of psychedelic experience. In his earlier experimenting days he had used LSD hundreds of times, mushrooms at least many times, peyote at least a couple times, DOM once, and a wide variety of non-psychedelic substances, and recently he has also tried 2C-I, 4-HO-DPT, 4-HO-MPT, and MET once each, and DMT twice. He loves the DMT and found the lower dose of MET promising. 2C-I and 4-HO-DPT were a little too weak for him, and 4-HO-MPT was very intense and interesting but gave him a heavy body load. The MET was the research chemical he was definitely most interested in exploring again, so this was his second experience with it.
The MET was taken from a supply I gave him the first time, first measured to 75 mg before later having 25 mg removed, so the remaining amount that should have been around 50 mg was used. I prepared it for him by lacing it into a bowl of cannabis and let him take care of the actual dosing and everything himself. He smoked the whole thing over the course of maybe the first five minutes.
He initially described feeling as though he was just coming up on an extremely intense and relaxing cannabis high. As it sank in we briefly discussed the mechanistic overlaps between psychedelics and cannabinoids and the possible explanations for this relationship. After a few more minutes he started describing visuals appearing with closed eyes, saying that they were less intense than the geometry of DMT but of a very similar nature. After a few more minutes he didn't seem much more altered still and hadn't described much more of a trip so I figured that we might have just shot a little too low for whatever reason, whether it degraded while sitting around or he torched it too much or what, so I just kept occasionally conversing with him about the workings of psychedelics and taking breaks of just letting him sit there and relax. He had his eyes closed most of the time because opening them would make him feel almost entirely sober again.
After maybe twenty minutes or so I asked if he wanted to put on any music or anything, and he started picking some things to listen to. At this point he became slightly more talkative and divulged a bit of his trip to me. It turned out, contrary to what I thought, he had definitely hit the mark and beyond and had been having a full-blown experience. He has not had a DMT breakthrough yet and hasn't really read any literature on it, but I knew that he knew when he started talking about closing his eyes and finding that he was suddenly transported somewhere entirely different. He said that he could repeatedly go back and forth between these other worlds and complete normalcy just by opening and closing his eyes, and not only that this had been happening, but that it still was while he was explaining this to me with his eyes closed. As he did so he also started taking different poses and talking about the overwhelming amounts of energy flowing out of him, and how the music had begun driving the trip as well.
He continued going into other worlds for at least an entire hour, feeling great and loving the music the whole time, and in the end only stopped when he decided he had had enough for now and was ready to gently come down. He was very grateful for the experience and definitely seemed to enjoy it more than any other trip I've seen him have lately. He also did not ever describe any sort of body load at any time.
So that's the end of that. I think I'm going to try a similar dose myself soon based on this.
