I recently received a gram of this substance from a US vendor. The material has not had it's identity confirmed via third party testing as far as I know and, shame on me, I did not perform any reagent tests (do as I say, Bluelight, not as I do: buy a test kit, check your drugs. If you have money for drugs, you have money for a test kit). Needless to say, I can not definitively confirm that I have received the chemical advertised, but subjective effects are distinctive enough that I feel fairly confident in asserting that the material was not MXE.
Allergy testing and titration occurred over a period of several days. General dissociative tolerance is moderate; however, my personal awareness of altered states of consciousness seems to be somewhat greater than the typical drug user. All doses were sublingual unless otherwise noted. All notes were recorded after the conclusion of testing.
Threshold effects noted with doses in the 5-10mg range, but placebo can not be ruled out.
Doses in the 20-25mg range produced definite ++ effects: slight degradation of motor coordination and a mild dissociative stimulation began around 30m and started to taper off somewhere between 60-90min.
A dose of 60mg produced +++ effects which rose quickly to a plateau between 60-90min. The body felt heavy, whereas with MXE the body feels light. The mind seemed to quiet and turn inward. The environment took on a shimmering quality reminiscent of low dose LSD, but more dim as if seen through a haze. It is hard to say from the one trial at this level, but with eyes closed I sensed rather than saw geometric patterns and shapes which somehow still seemed more concrete compared to the ethereal visions produced by MXE. However, this aspect of the experience requires further investigation.
The urge to redose with this chemical is similar to that of MXE, but my first thoughts are that it is not as effective. Several hours after a 60mg dose, an additional 100mg failed to produce effects of equivalent intensity to the initial dose. I did not actually check my vitals, but at some point after the 100mg dose I seemed to notice an elevated heart rate.
After additional experimentation and titration, doses of 80mg plugged and 40mg oral (capped) were consumed concurrently. The duration of this experience was roughly similar to what I would expect with similar doses and ROA of MXE with a slightly shortened peak, but the mixed ROAs make measuring the peak somewhat difficult and the ratio of doses needs a little tweaking (maybe 3:2 plugged : oral). I find a similar dosing regimen ideal with MXE for producing a prolonged hole-like peak.
In the above trial, it became quite clear to me that this substance is more sedating, quietly introspective, and visual (in a manner reminiscent of the "third plateau" of DXM or perhaps low dose ketamine) than with MXE. The experience is also somewhat more uncomfortable physically, with a hint of nausea and gas and some slight muscle tremors. The robowalk is strong with this one.
Around 40mg of sublingual MXE were added to the plugged trial sometime around the two hour mark. The two seemed to synergize well and there may have been some potentiation of the MXE although it is hard to say. The MXE seemed to add some warmth to the experience.
First impressions are that those looking for a replacement for either ketamine or MXE will be disappointed, but I could see a promising future for this chemical if it is sought after for what it is. I don't really have enough experience with ketamine to draw any comparisons there, but if I had to grossly over-simplify this thing I would say that the effects lie somewhere between MXE and DXM, with a duration roughly equivalent to MXE. I would haphazardly guess that MXM is about 80% as potent as MXE. If anyone has any questions I'll do my best to answer them.
