N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine, MET
Bioassay #1, 100 mg (freebase)
I took 100 mg of the title compound on an almost empty stomach. I was at home and it was evening. It tasted exactly like DMT: very bitter and with plastic after-taste. First effects appeared at 35 minutes, and this made me feel a little nervous, as I suspected an early onset. At the 35th minute an unmistakable feeling appeared that something was unusual in my perceptions. Five minutes later the colors turned brighter and some DET-like somatic effects appeared, very light indeed. I became a little nauseous. Little later the hyperacousia showed up, reminiscent of the beginning of action of DiPT or mushrooms: the close and distant sounds began distorting and leveled by volume, so that it turned out hard to determine whether the sound came from the street or from the other room. Textures began to move, and in the air waves of color looking like slowly moving smoke appeared, almost identical to those in the very beginning or the very end of DMT.
I turned off the big lights, leaving only the table-lamp as a light source, made some tea and changed the music. The perception of music under the influence of MET is exactly like that when on acid or mushrooms, it is very sensual and emotionally rich. There was no pronounced anorexia that is really strong in DET for me.
After finishing the tea, I spent some 20 minutes listening to music, and at the end of that reached the plateau. All the somatic effects were gone at that time, the body felt quite well, as in the classic tryptamines (three DMTs), no unpleasant sensations at all. With the eyes closed some DMT-like visuals were present, although fairly mild. With the eyes open visuals were again like in a very light DMT-trip, or at the end of a DMT-trip, with flowing colors, yet some of the visual effects reminded me of acid and even mushrooms: when I found myself in a completely dark environment it looked like if I was in a forest surrounded with fluorescent vegetation that was growing, blooming etc.
The experience was wave-like, as with psilocybin, when at one moment you are feeling as if it is about to end, and at the next you’re swept away again. Emotionally MET is very even and positive, without sharp edges. Nothing that would shatter the very depth of you, it just took me in a quite comfortable place and then metabolized, leaving me in a state of excitation when I was unable to sleep - due to agitation rather than physical stimulation.
The plateau lasted forty minutes and was followed by gradual come down. Two hours after the beginning of the experiment visual effects mostly faded. I was already at +1 at that time. At the third hour the effects were gone almost completely, and I was in the afterglow state, that lasted for some more time.
I’d mark this excellent, right after the three classic tryptamines and LSD.
Bioassay #2, 220 mg MET*HSC with 150 mg aurorex
I took moclobemide, and one hour later, MET. The onset was in ten minutes, and 30 minutes later I was completely into it. It was very intense at that level, and resembled a little DPT narcosis-like state: my walk was impaired, and there were similarities with GHB in the way the body was felt. Mental effects were more like DMT as well as the visuals, which were quite intense, though not to the point when the real world would completely dissolve. I’d compare it with, perhaps, 30 mg of DMT smoked (I have low sensitivity to DMT, and need more than 60 mg of it smoked to have an out-of-body experitence). The experience lasted 6 hours, with almost two hours at plateau. Without going into details, it was a plus four experience. This was a little too much for this chemical. A good dose for a combination with MAOI would probably be 150 mg of this salt or 100 mg of a freebase.
*HSC is acidic succinate, acidic salt of succinic acid.
