5-Meo-Mipt

5-Meo-Mipt, Moxy 
5-methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine; C15H22N2O

This is a close relative of the more famous "Foxy" (5-Meo-Dipt) and just like its big brother, it is also a very tactile, empathogenic, euphoric and aphrodisiac compound, with marked psychedelic characteristics. I have found "Moxy" as a light tan powder with a very strong chemical odour.

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

• Light: 1.0 to 3.0
• Mid-range: 4.0 to 9.0
• Strong: over 10.0

In my experience, "Moxy" is one of several "minors" in my collection - not because they are not capable of fully-blown experiences or even cause death or harm, but because I use them very infrequently, if at all.

"Moxy" and "Foxy" are compounds that can only be taken orally - anecdotal stories suggest that insufflating these compounds requires larger doses than a similar oral dose. I have not read any reports of rectal administration.

Nausea and trembling hands are de rigueur whilst under the influence of "Moxy" and -in medium doses- I have found that my vision is impaired. The visual distortions are pronounced and I end up looking at black and white checkerboards like 1960's Op-Art . These cover most of my field of view and are very distracting.

Such as this one I found around the 'net:

The tactile and emotional component of "Moxy" is very pronounced, the enjoyment of music is intensified and so is the sensuality. There is a very strong component of empathy -just like with MDMA, you feel close to everyone around you and sometimes it is possible to talk a lot more than you should, because your inhibitions are drastically lowered.

"Moxy" is a drug that will lead to increased sensuality and awesome sex - no doubt about it. I have managed to have multiple very enjoyable orgasms in one night whilst on "Moxy" - not bad for a forty-something!

But it is not a magical aphrodisiac. With "Moxy" you know that "the sensuality" is part of the psychedelic excursion; it should NEVER be used on others without their consent - not only it is ethically wrong but it does not work when "slipped into" someone else's drink or food in order to have sex.

The taste of "Moxy" is foul and most importantly - it's a very strong psychedelic drug and will most likely result in a hellish trip for the recipient. The consequences will be catastrophic and you will be in real trouble.

Just enjoy it yourself - you don't need to involve your partner.

As far as I know, "Moxy" cannot be combined safely with any other substance. I tried once with 2C-E and the result were extremely unpleasant.

Alcohol does not work very well either, so watch your drinking to avoid making a scene.

bk-2C-B

bk-2C-B, beta-ketone 2C-B; C10H12BrNO3

A derivative of 2C-B, this chem hit the world somewhere in 2013 and it does not have a place anymore in my Arsenal of the Mind. The reasons will be forthcoming.

Not the sharpest knife in the block.

An indistinct white powder with a strong chemical smell, bk-2C-B is purported to have a similar profile to 2C-B, but at a fraction of the strength of its parent compound. Bigger dosage is required to achieve any effect.

Purported is the keyword here - pure promise and no delivery.

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

• Light: 70 to 120
• Mid-range: 120 to 220
• Strong: over 220

Yes. You have read that well; 200 milligrams for an excursion that in my opinion is much inferior and more uncomfortable than any other experience I have had with a member of the 2C-x family.

After 30 minutes of taking it for the first time, I felt a strange sensation of malaise and chills through my body -something fairly common with phens. But taking a capsule with 120 mgs of something awful feels much worse than taking 20mgs of something awful -volumetrically speaking, my gut was full of bk-2C-B and did not like it one bit. My body was not liking it.

The psychedelic effects where very subtle, increasing in strength after the first hour and lasting for the next six or seven hours, but nowhere near as strong or colourful as 2C-E. Slight distortios on colour and light. Slight breathing of walls around me, but nothing really spectacular.

The body high was already very unpleasant, and did not diminish for the duration of the experience.

Inferior bromine

The second test with bk-2C-B, a month later, was a capsule with 150 mgs administered rectally. Just 40 minutes after administration I knew I had made a mistake; my gut was starting to burn, as if something mildly caustic was causing discomfort, and I promptly managed to flush it out with a solution of saline that I use for these kind of emergencies.

At that point I decided that the risks outweigh the benefits -as stated somewhere else in the 'net, bk-2C-B is a poor substitute for higher order 2C-x phens- and decided to toss it away as I wondered "why on Earth would someone use this when better chems are available?"

I poured the bk-2C-B in the toilet bowl and went out to do some errands. Coming home later, I was surprised to see a purple-coloured mass of gunk waiting for me in the toilet bowl.

The lesson is: the molecule of bk-2C-B is fragile and it dimerises (breaks) when in contact with water and then isomerises (recombines) randomly - some of these new isomers take on the classic purple hue of bromine compounds. Some of them might be psychoactive, but I am sure many more of those rogue molecules are not good for your insides.

methylone

methylone, bk-MDMA, M1. C11H13NO3

Methylone is often compared unfavourably with the MDMA experience.

Empiric knowledge says methylone is about 80% as strong as a comparable dose of MDMA but lacks the magic. Bullshit.

The magic is a subjective quality that nobody can explain in scientific terms and is associated with the repeated use of a substance. Any substance.
Even a good cup of espresso coffee has its magic. After ten cups, it does not taste that great anymore and the magic is gone. Only time and abstinence can restore the magic.

But I digress here. If I take into consideration the body load and the hangover of the day after - two important metrics for a psychedelic dad that has to deal with his family after the party is finished, I conclude that methylone is the perfect replacement.

It brings about the same effects as MDMA but it does not cause in me the Tuesday Blues after using it on a weekend. Which is a huge bonus in my situation.

In my opinion, methylone is its own persona and not MDMA's little stunted cousin. It's good for dancing, partying, socialising, having conversations and caressing someone special, and of course, intimacy and sex.

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

• Light: 30 to 70
• Mid-range: 70 to 150
• Strong: over 150

The methylone I have found so far is a powder with a slight yellowish tinge or, depending on the source, completely white. It can also be obtained in liquid form or in pellets.

It can be administered orally, by insufflation or rectally - and the dosage ratio varies accordingly.

Methylone

Methylone mixes well with other phens. It goes great with 2-CE. It goes great with 2-CB or with MDxx. But it does not go well with most tryptamines - an exception being 4-HO-MET.

It can also be a deceivingly easy substance to abuse; my only bad trip - so far - was the result of dropping methylone and alcohol carelessly during a four hour binge that almost ends in disaster.

I have learned my lesson well: "the price of artificial paradises may be death".

AMT

AMT: alpha-methyl-tryptamine. C11H14N2

This was the first research chemical I encountered, and has been a permanent fixture in my arsenal ever since.

Also known as Indopan and IT-290, the compound was discovered in the 1950's and soon gained a place in the world through Tom Wolfe's seminal work The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. It was independently produced in the Soviet Union, where its brand name Indopan was scheduled as an antidepressant drug during the 1960's and 1970's.

A member of the tryptamine family, AMT's side-effects include nausea and vomiting - which can be severe in some people. Diarrhea, gas and general malaise are also common, and should not be administered without knowing your [threshold reaction].

It's found in two varieties: as an orange powder and as a white powder. The Internet of Things says that  orange AMT is much stronger than the white variety.

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

• Light: 10 to 30
• Mid-range: 30 to 70
• Strong: over 70

It can be administered orally and rectally, and there is anecdotal evidence that AMT can be also insufflated and vapourised or smoked. I have not experimented with these methods as AMT's smell is bad as it is. It dissolves well in alcohol and can be stored in vodka or another high-proof spirit for many weeks.

I have used both versions of AMT in doses from 5mg all the way up to 100mg - but have not ventured beyond that. This RC has the potential to bring about a catastrophic trip and reports in Erowid confirm it: you could end up in an Emergency Room.

Orange-coloured AMT

At lower doses (20 to 30mg for me) AMT is empathogenic, euphoric and slightly psychedelic. I feel energized and shiny, ready to take on the world.

As the dose increases the psychedelic effects increase as well. Tracers, shining lights and breathing surfaces are usual beyond 50 milligrams. It also lowers your inhibitions and social restraint, and can work very well in a party setting provided you don't drink too much. It's great for intimacy and sex. Actually, it's *awesome* for intimacy and sex.

In my experiences, hard liquor and AMT do not go well together and using too much of this may result in temporary amnesia. In a few adventures under the influence of AMT and hard liquor, I have not been able to recall events of the night before, including things like brawls, heated arguments or even sex.
Be careful: the AMT and alcohol combo can get you in deep trouble.

Seen that alcohol and AMT promote a darker, more dominant and more risk-taking side of my personality I have not been tempted to experiment mixing AMT with other research chemicals.

AMT's effects can go for up to 10 hours or more - some people have reported even longer trips on high-range doses. As with many other RC's, sleep is next to impossible whilst under the influence.
