Time span re-dosing 3mmc

Hey guys. It’s well known that, when consuming 3mmc, you get cravings to take more.

How often do you re-dose in a session?

I use it regularly, sometimes days in a row (only in the evenings, not nonstop), sometimes with days/weeks in between and I tend to re-dose after 30/60min, because of strong cravings.

What’s your experience? And how regular do you consume 3mmc?

What’s a good name for 25E-NBOH? Or generally the NBOH series?

Is there any name for it in the scene or is it possible to derivate one from a similar compound?

I’m getting some confused looks whenever someone asks what I’m on today, which happens regularly since it’s my favorite.

Some even confuse it with 25i-Nbome and freak out, telling me how dangerous it is.

If there isn’t any common name yet, what sort of names could you guys come up with? Currently I’m just explaining it as a ‘2ce derivative, and 2ce is like a different version of 2cb’. Mostly referring to it as just 25E.

2-3mg Bromazolam daily for last 3 years. How to taper?

Need help here. I’ve been in store management for 7 years now and have used quite a lot of substances to keep up with the demands of the job. As of lately it’s starting to get too much and I’m realizing I’m pouring massive amounts of compounds into my body just to be able to work my job and get through the day.

There are many substances I’m on currently, Kratom, Baclofen, gabapentin, oral nicotine, high doses of caffeine, but the main one I am very worried about is a 2-3 mg/day Bromazolam habit for almost 3 years now.

I’m debating taking a LOA from work and taking time to taper off and re-assess my career and if this is indeed somethin I wanna continue.

I’m 28 years old btw, have had a solid job since 16 with maximum 3 months off work between that time. Started using Phenibut at 20 years old and finally quit about 6 months ago and switched over to gabapentin and Baclofen

Long history of use here. I’m thinking taking a LOA is the best for me but I do NOT want to go anywhere for a rehab. I’d feel much safer and prefer my apartment. Have my GF as support and lots of supplements that can help with tapering and withdrawals.

How fucked am I and what is the best plan here? Take LOA and have an “in house” detox/taper?

How to make MDMB-4en-PINACA (5cl) solvant?

Hi there, I’ve got my hands on 5g of fine 5cl paste, which I will put in the freezer so it becomes less oily. I have figured out that my favourite dosage is 0.15g in 30ml 99,9% isopropyl alcohol for 25g of leaf, my friend used to make it that way and it was very enjoyable when I smoked it.

I have a question, do I just dump the 0.15g in a cup that has the alcohol and then mix it up with a spoon? And afterwards dump all that in a pan and the leaf on top??

What is more Euphoric? 2-FDCK or FXE ?

I've only had FXE and I like the euphoria I get from it before I K Hole. Does 2-FDCK do the same?

Best RC (or Benzo) for sleep (looking at taking Flubrotizolam)

I'm doing my research on what take next (long term)

I'm currently taking 250mg Seroquel/Quetiapine and 15mg Mirtazapine/Remeron.

My issue is, I need something extra to fully sedate me. And after having almost all Benzos available for me. And Self Medicating 2mg Xanax is proving futile as again my tolerance has risen.

My tolerance has built on all of them. And the doctor has stopped my prescription to Loprazolam, which has been most effective.

Diazepam Zopiclone Trazadone Temazepam Klonopin DPH Promethazine

All no longer work for me due to tolerance. Any feedback would be hugely appreciated please. (I'm open to any RC but I'm mainly debating taking Flubromazolam)

What's the deal with NEP?

Gathering from the amount of people who're stocking up on NEP with the pending blanket ban in the Netherlands, and just its general popularity, I need to ask: what's the deal? What do people like about it?

I used it one time, taking a few very little bumps. The first gave me an OK energy boost. The next, and next just made me very... uptight. I had difficulty expressing myself. Nervous. On edge but not in a coke kind of way, more like my mind was somewhat constricted.

Felt like it did something on the noradrenaline side and not much else.

Did I get a bad batch or is this a substance that fits just with the brain chemistry of some?

bromazolam vs norflurazepam

its 3 pm on a friday and i have until sunday to smoke and chill.

i have tried neither, which one would you say fits better?

i heard bromazolam is closer to xanax but makes you tired and that norflurazepam is similar to diazepam and euphoric but has a very long duration and half life.

How do you control yourself and do you take your bigger dose in the morning or evening?

Everyday I'm taking two doses of an opioid named O-DSMT. The evening dose is bigger than the morning dose but I'm often get greedy in the morning and take more than I should. Do you like it more taking your bigger dose in the morning and the smaller dose in the evening or vice versa?

Also do you have tips how I can control myself more and stop taking more than I should? I'm trying to taper down but there are some days where I take too much and then I also sleep really bad because I have too much still in my system.

I have 3 100mg lyrica. Best way to potentiate if possible?

So, today was a rollercoaster. I did roughly .3g intranasal FXE and also took 300mg lyrica to “calm me down” as the FXE faded. Did some research and decided to also snort 100mg lyrica as well (total 400mg, 300mg oral/100mg sniff).

I only have 300mg lyrica left. I don’t want to waste it. How many days should I give it before taking them and what’s the best way to maximize the effectiveness 300mg can give me?

Prothipendyl-Hydrochloridmonohydrate suitable as a “Trip-Killer”?

Hello Fellow Psychonauts,

I wanted to have a “Tip-Killer” in case I need one in the future, so I went to my doc yesterday and told him I have very bad anxiety when I fly with a plane. I wanted a Benzo but he gave me Prothipendyl-Hydrochloridmonohydrate (Brand name: Dominal forte). I almost find nothing about this substance. Therefore, I wanted to know if this drug is suitable for a “Trip-Killer” because I read that it is a “tricyclic azaphenothiazine neuroleptics” and it’s used in psychiatric hospitals.

If it is suitable:

Against what drugs can I use it as a “Trip-Killer”?

What to expect?

I would like to test it on like LSD or something. Any idea of dose to take for a 75kg male?

3MMC seems to disturb for days or weeks following use

                     *DISTURB SLEEP I MEANT*

So back in October I had a little stint with 3mmc. Which aside from the usual aftereffects, seemingly left me unable to sleep properly for weeks following?

I understand binging and staying awake fucks your sleep cycle but even after a couple weeks when I was making sure to be in bed and tired by 11 and to wake at a normal hour, I found myself physically unable to remain asleep past 4am.

I would wake up hundreds of times a night and my "sleep" consisted of 10 min naps broken up by disorientation along with tossing and turning.

It took nearly 3 months until I could get an unbroken few hours of sleep! Recently I came into contact with a .5g dose over the course of a night , was asleep by 3am and woke up feeling ok only to find the next week plagued by constant wakening and the inability to sleep until a normal time in the morning even if I was tired .

Is there a link here ? I've never experienced shit like this in my few years of (mis)using a variety of substances. As if I needed more reasons to keep off this shit.

Anyone else hallucinate the same way?

This one time in particular I had been up all night and just wanted to sleep, but staring out the window and looking up at the trees was like seeing through to the heavens of Disney's movie coconut and watching spirit animals form out of images I had seen in the trees. I'd look up at the trees, relate any group of tree branches and leaves and morph that image into some specific spirit animal straight from a Lisa frank sticker book. Later on I had been disappointed I didn't grab a pencil and draw all these things that I knew weren't really being seen but the images I seen were so detailed and magical I wanted to see them again, even if it was just my drawings lmao. Later on found these mysterious unknown small brown bottles with a drop of liquid in the bottom.. I dunno if these are relevant but it haunts me. The dude said he thinks it was a bottle his friend gave him coke in. But I'm like thats obviously liquid. No powder residue. He also would check his freezer all the time and explained something is real if it makes a layer of powder on top? I think. Actually the first experience I've had with sleep paralysis and he watched me t he entire ti.e, waited til I whimpered enough to wake me up and said it was the saddest thing he's ever watched... umm also remember falling by asleep like during giving him a bj and just could not stay awake even though I tried hard to... does this sound like something you recognize? Blacking out also had a spell where I could feel the static and heat take over I called "I'm going out" , eyes rolled back and so did my lifeless body. The dude accused me of taking other drugs besides the coke he provided but he was wrong. He was not who I thought. Anyone have any thoughts?

3-FEAr and Loathing in yer butt

Inb4 people tell me I’m being reckless. Yes, but not as reckless as you think.!

I don’t want to come off like I think I did a good thing, but since I’m ALREADY AT the point where I’ve binged 635mg of 3-FEA over the past 28 hours, I wanted talk about it, and talk to all of you. Hopefully you have questions for me because I am blasted and likely won’t initiate or hold a conversation well.

ROA: Nasal. Not recommended, unless situationally in which you’re on a time crunch and need that shit to hit as fast possible and wear off as soon as possible.

Pros: more potent than swallowing.

Cons: Just thinking of the taste makes me gag, which is super rare because my emetophobia makes my shit one way. Stomach is secured like Alcatraz. I’ve insufflated 3-Cl-PCP and 3-F-PCP, which very strongly recommended against because they’re uniquely irritating and tiny amounts would have a nostril fucked for days. As much as it sucked, it wasn’t anywhere near as nasty and chemically as the 3-FEA. I even LOVE xan bitterness and ket afterdrip.

But seriously, personal tastes aside, it doesn’t last very long (hour two) which only feels like a couple minutes. But the most compelling reason is that snorting is a particularly addictive route of administration, and 3-FEA is a particularly addictive drug. I’m comfortable trusting wiki at face value in this state, I doubt I’m capable of verifying. But it was tested in rodents aside other amphetamine analogues, and was found to be the most rewarding despite being serotonin being what it release most.

I’d probably just cap it and eat the dose normally, but I’m celebrating tonight, evidently.

The doses I’ve taken ranged from 40mg to 100mg, but mostly 100mg or 70-75mg. Yesterday was a dose every two hours, and I gradually ramped down over the course of the day; had to talk to some people and it had to be things other than how much I love them.

With that general knowledge and this additional context I just did 75mg an hour ago and 75mg 6 ish hours before: Let’s attempt to describe effects.

My sheets feel incredible against my skin, stretching is incredible, my playlist actually kinda slaps instead of being all skips. My mouth and wrists feel tense while the rest of me is relaaaxing. Whoever psychically sent the suggestion for gum for the bruxism; just remembered it, so thank you.

I’m VERY talkative (not usually). Having a desire to communicate is very unusual for me indeed. I cheated by adding some flubromazepam at varying times. But I am COSMICALLY chill, and this is what it usually does.

It’s also oddly visual for an amphetamine that doesn’t have any action at classical hallucinogen sites. Could be sleep deprivation, but my revenge procrastinating, hyper focusing ass pulls all nighters without issue all the time. It looks like there are almost transparent cobwebs attached to the walls and are fluttering in a nonexistent wind. Any object that has a wall behind it is giving off smoke with whisps so thick they appear solid.

All the smoke, strings, and occasional bugs that form out them (which isn’t scary because they’re just illusions, my brain isn’t the slightest bit tricked. What IS fucking with me is stuff in my peripherals. Random surfaces flash, shadows are liquid, I’m seeing beetles and such scurry behind everything.

Still very enjoyable. Anyone got any opinions on or questions about 3-FEA? That took like 20 minutes to type and I spellchecking shit

Finally capable of sleep. It was a dumb fucking idea and I should get a time safe to avoid binging shit, but god damn, what a night. We’ll find out how well I took care of myself by how hopeless I wake up feeling. Maybe in a couple months after my serotonin receptors are crisp again, I’ll make a more serious/useful and less dangerous/sad trip report, ideally not in the middle of the night.

11mg of 4-aco-dmt was very insane

I did trip today with only 11mg i disliked the feeling of the come up .it was the hardest part of the trip if you can handle that part without any problem you will have very beatiful peak, during the come up i was feeling my ego being stripped away . I was reminding myself that it will be over after few hours . The headspace was too much to handle it is like you are being taken somewhere else and I'm glad that i didnt take more than that . All of sudden the peak comes with the beatiful visuals of mushrooms cities . Too many insights and wisdom was poured into my own being. (Sorry everyone for my English)

too much xanax or nep od

i've been taking nep almost everyday for months but even more since i lost my pet. i didn't write down each xanax i took throughout the day but i'm sure (from what i did write) i took at least 1.25mg from 6pm to 1am. i took .25mg at 11:40pm and another .25mg at 1am (wrote those down so im sure) but i think i maybe took .25mg in between. i didn't stop taking nep ever since i woke up with my last dose 20 minutes ago because i felt too sleepy and anxious and kept dissociating at the same time. the nep made me heat up even more but it didn't wake me up.

i don't think i will ask my parents to take me to the er i don't think I'm scared of death, i just wanna know if the xanax is overpowering the nep which is the reason i feel sleepy or if im gonna die in this house. i've been in bed for a week, i wanted to run away but i have no energy i feel sad at the idea

I'm sorry I'm aware i probably sound confused or incoherent, thanks in advance if someone comments & i will edit my post tomorrow if all is good

How much do you spend on drugs every year?

I just did the math for the last year and the results are scary. $2k. That said I’ve been building a bit of an rc collection, but still…

Curious if others keep track of this

AMT combined with DMT?

I’ve been pondering this combo since I read the amt entry in tihkal. There’s a moment when shulgin ponders on whether amt’s maoi a inhibitor activity would work in a pharmahuasca mix..

Any of you guys have experience here? I would love to try giving a light dose of pharmahuasca a shot if the amt is a good enough maoi for the dmt to not be destroyed when eaten.

Also, do you guys think that the presence of MAOIs (oral dose of amt) would change/prolong the experience of vaped DMT? Would raw dmt vaped feel more like changa?

Thanks!!

If you had to pick: 4-Ho-MET or 4-Ho-MiPT?

Looking to pick one more chem to add the my small collection of psychs. I have had 4-Ho-MET but not 4-ago-MiPT. I do want to try a higher dose of 4-Ho-MET (I’ve only done 20mg max), but I am curious to try 4-Ho-MiPT. I mostly just vibe out and listen to music. For those who have tried both, which do you prefer?

(Urgent) Vyvanse to taper down after being clean for 3 days? Still worth it?

Did 2fma and occasionally 2fa and 3fa every few days for the past weeks for maybe 3 days in a row each time. Stopped everything three days ago and was feeling extremely depressed, tired and unmotivated so my friend offered to give me vyvanse to taper down, since we figured I was having withdrawals. Should I take it or just wait it out? Since I've already been clean for 3 days? Please help a girl out

Didn’t feel much from my last trip of 1p-LSD

A few days ago I took some 1p-LSD before a small party with some friends who only consume alcohol. I beforehand took a 100mcg 1p-LSD tab. I have a little experience with LSD (around 3 trips) but not with 1p-LSD. When I take normal LSD which the vendor told was 200mcg (I tested it and it had LSD but with a test myself I obviously don’t know the exact dose) I always have a very nice and intense long trip and always very enjoyable.

The 1p-LSD tabs are 100mcg on a reliable research chemical website. I took this tab ~ a month after my last LSD trip so my tolerance should be low to non existent. But my trip was almost not noticeable. I did feel the body high and felt a little stupid as I always feel when consuming LSD, but the visuals were very faint and almost not noticeable. I still had a great time though but it was underwhelming.

I did take 21mg of 4-HO-MET exactly a week before the 1p-LSD so maybe it does build some tolerance? I also drank around 8 beers (250ml) 3 hours into the trip and I know these suppress the LSD but normally I’m already tripping after 1 hour or so.

Was the dose too low compared to the ~200mcg LSD I take normally? Was it the beers? Was it the tolerance of the 4-HO-MET? These are my questions?

1,3-Butanediol or "ketohol" as a booze alternative?

There's ketohol as a booze alternative with shit reviews for bad taste available online. I did some digging and it lights up the brain like ethanol does but without producing the heavy organ and liver toxicity. Also no hangovers which sounds fucking incredible to me. It is labeled as a "GRAS" product.

I would love a harm reduction alternative but the stuff sold online is stupidly marked up. Making my own replacement cocktails sounds fun. The marked up stuff uses a ketone version I think? Would the lab stuff be any less safe? Anyone here have any experiences with the stuff?

Mdpihp is actually very nice

So i just had my first order of mdpihp arrive. I'm very surprised about how it actually does feel like a perfect mix between a-pihp and mdphp.

Only vaped it so far so here is my experience.

It vapes amazingly out of an oil burner pipe! The smell and taste closely resemble a-pihp with a noticable hint of mdphp smell and flavour. It's not as gentle on the throat as a-pihp , but it vapes incredibly well and doesn't burn as easily.

Effect wise it really does just feel like a mix between a-pihp and mdphp. It's actually rather sedating instead of stimulating.

The rush is quite euphoric and keeps up for a pretty long time. Strangely enough it's much less compulsive when it comes to redosing.

A gram of this stuff could go a pretty long way since it's so long lasting and pretty potent. It does keep you AWAKE for some time though and has legs so be prepared with some landing gear. It doesn't feel too psychosis inducing to me rn but ymmv.

All in all i can definitely recommend this one to the pyro heads and i think it could be a great replacement for a-pihp. Cheers everyone !

All 3mmc samples (4) tested at lab came back as 2mmc 🇳🇱 - 2mmc harm reduction?

Apparently it's impossible to fine any 3MMC around Netherlands capital now - so as there's not much info online about 2mmc, any advice about harm reduction would be highly appreciated

  1. For oral dose - what's the dose?

Used to take 200mg + 100mg 3’mmc and lasted me for 4-5 h

  1. How often can I use it if I take 300-400 mg (orally) for 1 session.

I mean how often so I don't build tolerance to it and also to get my serotonin, dopamine levels back to baseline

  1. Any alternative that u can find in netherlands that is a good substitute to 3mmc?

Many thanks mates!! 🙏🙏

First time trying O-pce not what I expected

Well I read some good and some bad about it but not one post where the poster had a similar experience to me. So I did a fairly large dose of 20mg and the only thing it gave me was the impulse to lay down, some nausea and the feeling that I’m going to shit my pants. Wtf
