The mystery powder of meh

Iprocin - "The mystery powder of meh"

This very fine off-white powder is a serious contender for the title of "most underachiever compound in my books"

It has a reputation for a short 3-hour end-to-end trip, but I would use the word "trip" in the most lenient way: I think the bodyload of Iprocin is not worth the minimal psychedelic effects.

Music is slightly distorted for the worse, vision is only marginally changed with shimmers and reflection of colours, and the thought process is random and scattered (as in most other trypts) - and this is on a medium dose. Perhaps it's just my metabolism and your mileage will vary, but for me it is a profound disappointment.

Iprocin is just not too much fun - the only advantage I see to it is that it lasts from 2 to 3 hours. But it does not produce in me any of the most memorable effects. I have read several articles in Erowid comparing it to LSD or psylocibin, among other things. Go figure.

I have tried it on several dosages, from 3mg all the way up to 15mg. The only real change is the intensity of the tremors and shivering, with some feverish sweating on larger doses. But with very little of that fine classical psychedelia I crave.

How come 4-Ho-Met is the bomb at a similar dose but 4-Ho-Dipt is not? I suspect it's got to do with my own body.

My final word on Iprocin: meh.

Iprocin, 4-Ho-DIPT, 4-Hydroxy-di-isopropyl-tryptamine; C16H24N2O 

One of the first chems I ever tried, Iprocin usually looks like a clumpy, hi-white powder, almost with a bluish tinge. I remember very clearly that it had a very strong taste, as some chems do, and I felt nauseated almost immediately.

Iprocin is notorious for the reactions it causes to some users, particularly if your stomach is not empty. Many resources suggest fasting for six hours or more and taking an antiemetic before taking Iprocin. Tremors and trembling hands are very common as well, and the perception of temperature is exaggerated throughout the trip- I have felt shivering cold in a tropical locale whilst under the effects of Iprocin.

Iprocin is one of those chems that should only be administered orally or rectally - the dosage actually increases when insufflated.

Dose ranges, oral, milligrams (male, 90 Kg)

• Light: 6.0 to 12.0
• Mid-range: 12.0 to 20.0
• Strong: over 21.0

Iprocin is also one of the fastest-acting tryptamines - the effects can be felt as soon as 20 or 30 minutes after taking it, and it has a very strong visual component. On lower level doses there is a reinforcement of colours, with greens, blues and violets becoming brighter.

As the dosage comes up, there is more of the classical psychedelia: breathing walls and surfaces, visual artifacts and tracers, morphing objects. It is possible to experience complex open-eye visuals with stronger doses, over 35 milligrams. Mentally speaking, Iprocin creates some mild mental confusion and disorientation, but I have not experienced the mindfuck that other compounds seem to bring.

I have the impression Iprocin should work well with other tryptamines, particularly 4-Ho-MET and 4-Aco-DMT, but I have not tried this combinations yet. As with other tryptamines, it does not combine well with members of the phenylethamine family.
