Dose: for high level, 12-18mg smoked, 30+mg oral. I'm not sure how well it would work up the nose. It isn't very soluble in water. I couldn't get a dose I intended to inject to dissolve even with the syringe nearly full of water. I would guess that would make it difficult for the nose to absorb it. I don't know. I am very high on this substance right now, not thinking in a normal way.
It becomes very psychedelic at higher doses, in many ways it equals LSD in the intensity of certain effects. It would take a while to go through the list of aspects with descriptions and comparisons. Maybe I will later.
Duration: 60-90 minutes for strongest effects, 3.5-4.5 hours or so total duration. Possibly/likely very minor lingering effects of little significance a few hours longer.
Anxiety: I feel no anxiety at all now. I accidentally took a very large dose my first time because I wasn't prepared for this substance to take 10 minutes to really kick in after being smoked and I smoked several doses before quitting in disappointment. I then shot up like a rocket to a very high level, till I was standing there not knowing what I was doing. The anxiety was caused by a strong body feeling that was in large part me feeling sound with my body. I didn't know that's what it was until I felt changes in sound with my body. I though it was an overdose. That is the only reason I felt anxiety then.
I have had thoughts that might cause some people to feel anxiety, but those thoughts have not caused me any anxiety.
Comparison to cannabis: Sorry, I haven't tried cannabis. I have read from others that it is very similar, maybe to the point where it would be hard or impossible to distinguish the effects.
Going quier/unsocial: I am usually a very quiet person. I don't talk much either physically or online. I can go all day saying only a few sentences sometimes, and most often those will be because someone else asked me a question.
I became very talkative on a mixture of JWH-073 + Mephedrone. I talked for several hours, and only stopped when the other people went away.
I am right now feeling quite a desire to communicate, either online or in the physical world. JWH-073 seems to make me more social. That effect was quite extreme at times when I mixed it with mephedrone.
If I haven't said this already, JWH-073 can produce psychedelic effects that are distinctive from LSD and other seratonergic psychedelics, but that rival the best of those in intensity in some areas, possibly exceeding what most trips with those do in one particular area that I am having trouble defining. It is something I feel on a minority of those trips, but I have felt every time with JWH-073.
I may post more about it later. I'd specifically like to address the point of what areas it meets or exceeds seratonergic psychedelics, as well as some of the similarities and differences.
I hope that has helped you.
Edit:
One other thing: If you are using a lightbulb or glass pipe to smoke, it takes a while for it to vaporize and it seems like the melted chemical moves up the glass as you heat it, making it harder to vaporize all at once. It might be better to use a metal pipe.
I've used aluminum foil a few times, but I don't think it is a safe way to smoke very often. The melting point of aluminum is supposed to be much higher than a lighter's flame, but it ends up being deformed or even partially destroyed. I doubt it is good for the lungs, and may be bad for the brain and other parts of the body. It may do this because the aluminum reacts with other chemicals and those things melt or get burnt. Aluminum foil shouldn't just melt or burn.
