I want to have headshops selling RCs/worthy drugs at all within my reach, don't care for them to stay open like gasoline stations but it certainly sounds appealing.
It was good times, i do miss it, but it did become sort of a problem for binging. Would find myself awake all night after getting some and outside the shop all manic an hour before it opened, that would usually lead to sporadic purchasing of other stuff in there like multiple boxes of whippets and sometimes etizolam or LSA, especially during summer, add in the sleep dep and inevitable day drinking, you can imagine the blackouts lol
Yet, I guess you already considered that, but while it is certainly possible that illicit MXE isn't as good as the legal one was in its beginnings (indeed fucking great), tolerance/permatolerance is a bitch for dissociatives, believe me I once found a baggie of the very first batch hidden somewhere in my stuff, labelled with that holographic sticker, and it wasn't as good as I remembered it by far, but it wasn't until I illegally acquired something which was said to be and indeed looked very much like original pre-ban MXE, which was even less special and more reminiscent of any dissociative these days - there were batches even during legality sold as MXE but way worse - but the magic of MXE certainly fades with tolerance and it might never really come back.
Of course. My disso permatolerance was already in full effect when i first tried mxe....you don't even want to know some of the doses id have to do to get what i read people getting from like 20mg and i always needed alot more than my friends.
I'd still be up for robbing a bank to buy a lifetime stash of it if it became available mind

i actually preferred when i had a decent tolerance set in with mxe because i wouldn't really hole and id get to that weird manic hyper stage way quicker, always way before anyone else id be with, and i like that stage. I think id like 3-meo-pcp for this reason but i think theres probably a reason ive never got my hands on it.
The legal batch we had was in a small baggie with either a black spider or a black uzi logo iirc

it was sold for quite a while before it got banned
That said, DMXE recently felt much like MXE did back then, just I was taking 10x as much and got 0.5x the effects.
Hmm yeah. Not really ideal for a new chemical is it. Has anyone IVd this stuff yet? Did I hear something about it being caustic and needing an acetone wash or was that one of the other ones?
A feature of MXE was that I actually never over-did it like I was tempted to with almost any other dissociative.
I wish i could say the same. It being readily available 24/7 for £7.50 a bag (well i was actually paying £4 a bag, i think i was one of the only ones in town buying it and it became daily so i always said "5 for £20?" and they'd agree. A bags contents weighed 200-220mg every time. Some days I'd buy 3 lots of 5 bags, id usually binge in a pattern of 1g night/3g day/3g next day with no sleep, then sleep wake up and buy 1g and repeat - the whole era has alot of blurry patches for me and my friends have alot of stories of my behaviour I have no recollection of) obviously didn't help my issue, lol.
Not sure if anyone else knows what i mean about skipping the inital hole and almost going straight into the manic stage and afterglow feeling? Never asked. It became like a wonky upper for me. How i imagine pcp would be like. Great fun combined with sleep dep and pretty much any other drug.
Personally i liked that bit more than the 'hole' for sure.
