Hi all! First time post here but long time reader/admirer of the site. Just thought i'd give out some recent thoughts on MPA. Not a detailed trip report rather general observations. Previous substance experience is alcohol, caffeine, MDMA, cocaine, speed, mephedrone, NRG, MDAI, ketamine, EPH.
I purchased MPA through sheer curiosity and a lack of other options in local area. After some reading up I thought this may be useful as a study aid. As with all substances I start with low expectations and take it as it comes. Purchased 3g in powder form from a reputable vendor.
Package arrived within a week (quicker than anticipated as currently studying in Norway), also incredibly well packaged and sealed. Powder was an off-white colour, almost a yellowish-grey. Had a flour like feel to it, however there was a few large, quite solid clumps throughout the bag. As said this isn't a detailed trip report as I 1) didn't bring my scales abroad and 2) didnt take any notes etc on day of consumption.
I chose insufflation as my ROA as I prefer this method (put down to nostalgia from mephedrone binges in the past!). Seeing as I didnt have my scales and because of past experiences eyeballing up lines I just used the end of my door key and kept the amounts each time I redosed. Started around midday after a lunch of a few pieces of fruit, some toast and ingesting my daily multi-vitamins, omega-3s etc. First dose was a small allergy tester. No burn or pain, drip was felt about a minute after this, not overly unpleasant compared to some i've had in the past. Small feeling in chest and head, a light sort of feeling. After 30mins I decided to redose. This time twice with larger amounts. The onset was a lot quicker and felt the drip almost instantly. After a short period I could definitely feel the stimulation and a very welcome overall feeling of well being. I redosed like this on the hour for the next 5 hours.
The feeling of well being stayed throughout. I was very focused on what I was doing, reading lectures and taking notes for revision (not too sure this is relevant but I was also able to listen to music whilst doing this work, something that I usually never can), definite music appreciation. Physical effects noted were cold hands, some twitching in legs, jaw clenching and quite a dry mouth, that being said the first two there happen to me quite regularly without substances. No noticeable change in pulse. Was able to eat also, and found it quite enjoyable lol
After an enjoyable walk home and about two hours after last dose I tried some more, this time a considerably higher dose. Again quick onset and drip but also a slight burn. Stimulation and focus definitely returned and also with a very slight but noticeable degree of euphoria. Was intending to finish off a paper but was easily distracted by the Internet! Small increase in arousal (easily dealt with!). Again no real side effects, dosed again 1 hour after this. Positive effects did not increase so may be a plateau?
No comedown really, tension in legs and back but had been sitting near enough all day, was able to get to sleep easy enough after a green tea with some honey. I enjoyed this, for me I think it just enhances what you want to do at that particular time (if I wanted to make notes I could get a shit load done, cleaning the house more enjoyable, even organising music collection into genres was great). Coffee for me these days makes me jittery, anxious, unfocused and wanting to lie down, this could be my replacement to focus me during the day so it is functional in that respect. As for recreation it could be used, as many people have stated previously, in combination with something else. Don't think I would recommend drinking on this. It can be quite moreish even at the lower doses I noticed it so it has the potential to be abused, also it is important to stay hydrated, noticed myself several times forgetting to sip on my water. i'd say this is being pumped into the stuff in the branded end of the legal high market (i dont keep an eye on whats in those shiny, tin foily packets).
If you read this then cheers, hopefully for a first post it wasn't too bad. Again sorry for the inaccurate sort of report, if id have to say over the day I probably used like 300mg. Recommended for those that can stay in control (ish), will purchase again
