Would You Do RCs?

After my 36 year old best friend died the other week after taking a moderate, recreational dose of mephedrone it has kind of put me off trying the unknown. I'm perfectly content taking drugs that have a long history of use in man and have been researched.

Jeez, that's so awful. That stuff is gonna get banned in no time. I'm glad I've never had the opportunity to try it.

I've been thinking about this subject recently. I bought some of what I thought was MDPV after checking the trip reports, reading the megathread, etc. It's a newish chem, but at least lots of people in the community have had experience with it and haven't encountered huge pitfalls. Then it comes out that most of what's being sold as MDPV in 2009 -- and what I got -- is not MDPV, but some unknown, possibly related stimulant. Taking a mystery substance creeps me the hell out. I guess that's the big problem with RCs (and a lot of other drugs, for that matter): it's hard to know what you're getting, and what else you're getting along with it.

To my thinking, methylone and 2C-I are not fundamentally scary chemicals. Yet so much of this stuff comes from chemical labs in China, a nation with virtually no regulatory oversight (for good and ill) where in 2008 a producer of baby formula was caught cutting their product with melamine because it was cheaper than powdered milk. Six babies died. If a prominent mass-market firm thought they could get away with that, it sends a shiver down my spine to think what a gray market chem lab might get up to.
 
psilo what were you issues with 2c-i, just curious

The first time I did it, it was awesome. I actually wrote a trip report on the TR board about it, and it sort of glorifies the drug in a way because i did like it a lot. But i think it was the environment being awesome, mostly.

After 3 uses, I saw its true face. It's an inferior, weird-feeling alien chemical that makes you anxious and not relaxed in any way. The visuals are kinda fun, but nothing close compared to the awesome 2C-B. the feeling of "something needs to happen!" (anxiety) was almost overwhelming at times. I have fun on every drug no matter what, and was having fun on 2C-I that time, but it truly showed me how shallow and annoying it is in reality. It's like all of the 2C-x's got together and all agreed to create a piece of shit brother that took the worst out of all of them an exemplified it.

1st time , 2nd time, both fun. 3rd time and beyond, you will hopefully see what I mean.
 
It depends on the chemical. I'd love to get my hands on mdpv or some of the 2c's, but after having read about what people are experiencing with 4mmc abuse, there's no way I'd touch mephedrone with a 10 foot pole. Just varies from drug to drug.
 
i would stick to the 2c series, they seem to be the best known and most widely taken
id do the DOx series, but im not gonna go out of my way to get my hand on them

as for things like mephredone, id rather have someone else be a guinea pig. I don't think its "cool" or "badass" to ingest untested drugs and hope you live, its just grossly irresponsible

I actually have read that report before and it got me pumped up about buying some 2c-i, but damn their is some strong distaste in that statment right their haha. I might just buy a smaller sample now and see how things go for myself. Kind of a bummer 2c-b isnt as widely available as it use to be but what are you gunna do:\

thanks for the heads up man
 
It depends, I haven't gotten stoned in the last 6 years until recently. I last bought "forest humus." It has jwh073 and cp blahblahblah in it. I heart it so much cause I can smoke the odd twig and keep my job. All the direct jwh 073 vendors I run into are too sketch for me to order right now. I don't mind the "incense."
Finally taught myselt to roll joints even.

Honestly 2C-I was fun the first time I did it. I even wrote a really positive report about it on BL that makes it sound cool. The 2nd time I did it, it was mediocre. The 3rd time, It was EWwwwwwww.

Im reading my report right now and I cant believe i liked it that much the first time.

So maybe its cool to try once, but dont waste your money on a lot, seriously.
 
I've tried many research chems, and I will continue to use them whenever I have the opportunity. I'm really interested in trying mephedrone, mdpv, and the JWH's. I have very little concern for my health. If I get cancer I have a good chance of getting prescribed strong opiates in the future ;)
 
I haven't tried any RCs lately, but I have extensively in the past.

I really don't have any interest in tripping or stims anymore so I doubt I'd try any new ones.
 
I haven't really heard much about these RCs other than the 2c-x ones. I'd love to try some 2c-b or 2c-t-7. It is difficult to get a hold of those around here though. No one I know has even heard about these drugs. I guess I can always order some but I'd have to buy in bulk and I am too poor atm :(.
 
Where did this come out? I would like to hear more about this...

Can't send PMs, so...

fastandbulbous tested some white "MDPV" and came to the conclusion that it wasn't the same substance as true MDPV. The white stuff seems to provide different subjective experiences as well. The new substance isn't bad as a stim, but opinion in that thread runs strongly in favor of the Classic Coke variety, with users complaining loudly that they're no longer able to find real MDPV, only the white stuff. And nobody is quite sure what the hell it is.
 
I've tried a lot of RC's, the only ones that bother me are the stims (4-mmc,mdpv,methylone), whereas psyches (phens mostly) have generally been consumed by enough people to be considered somewhat safe with not much documentation of negative side effects you wouldn't get from classic psyches.

I wouldn't want to smoke the jwhs on a regular basis, but doing it once in a while doesn't worry me. Human guinea pig <3

Me: Yes, I do; I'll expand later.

2Cs - yes, Shulgin and co. have done them, not to mention countless others.
Trypts - same^
Stims - keeping in mind the risks some have noticed, I just take them slow at first
Cannibinoids et al. - I'll take my chances
 
Years ago I got into the whole RC thing. I have sampled a vast array of chemicals and I had my fun. I quit experimenting with RCs because I realized that, for all I know, the chemicals might have a terrible surprise for me in the future. The stuff isn't being researched and no one can say for certain if my past use is going to screw me over years or a decade from now. I hope not.

Sometimes the FDA finds out that a very heavily researched medication is harmful in some way decades after it has been on the market. I don't feel like gambling anymore with my health and I hope that my past hobbies don't come back to bite me in the bum.

So for me I didn't have a problem experimenting with RCs, but I won't do it again. I actually wish that I had thought the decision over better years ago when I initially took the plunge. I don't understand how I decided that it was OK to take such a huge risk with the RCs.

These new drugs called Research Chemicals, MDPV, Mephedrone, 2C-x, JWH-xxx, etc., are all new and relatively untested. Knowing that they is much risk in their consumption, have you, would you or will you use the drugs? Do you feel safe enough to be a "human guinea pig"?


Me: Yes, I do; I'll expand later.


EDIT: If the answer is 'some' or 'it depends' please specify which you would (not) do!
