REPLY TO OP --> MPA and EPH or the evil sisters of RC stimulants
I am first to admit that I am old school. I was raised on a diet of cannabis, MDMA, lsd, mushrooms and speed (with the odd bit of ketamine thrown in to lift the mood). When 2CB first entered my life it was some what of a novelty. A subtle miss match of MDMA and acid. After that, a steady flow of 2C alphabets came along, but each one never really matched the original chemicals. Each one has a slight difference but had side effects that were brushed over because it was "better than nothing".
Then more RC's started to enter the scene. To begin with they were legal so it made sense to get excited about them, but they still all lacked the same magic of their original counterpart. The high didn't last as long, or too long, they has a nasty comedown or body load or some were/are so unpredictable that one night they can be awesome, then the next time a nightmare (I'm looking at you JWHx).
While they were legal it was easier to ignore the disappointment, but now that most loop holes are shut are there any of these new compounds worth the effort? If given the choice between ketamine and MXE for example, who would still choose the latter? Have I miss something or are the stream of new drugs coming onto the market just a poor imitation of the originals?
Depends what you like... I'm the same as you, grew up on MDMA, weed, meth, K and all the other rave-party shit. Today (ten years later) I endorse
MPA or
Methiopropamine as a functional-stimulant. Don't overdo it or go on binges. Taken with Modafinil (nootropic) which is active on the dopamine receptors the two seem to .. balance each other out.
NOTE: THIS IS VERY TENTATIVE i.e. 'I read a report on Erwid which spoke highly of this combination "as functional stimulants", there is NO way to get "high" with MPA. A slight rush due to the instant onset of effects when IV'd but nothing special, at all. Seriously. Look after your body and maintain a happy, healthy heart. It's like an energy drink in a way, it gets you pumped and adrenaline flowing.
EPH or
Ethylphenidate is the one you want if it's a decent high you're wanting, it's as good if not better than your first MDMA experience... I shit you not, it's fair decent, but strictly ONCE per day, MUST be administered IV and NO COMBINATIONS WITH OTHER STIMULANTS otherwise you'll die or damage your brain (severely). If you're tolerant to stimulants and have no objection to the IV route, the report on Erwid said person used 100mg in a single dose and the euphoria.... is beyond describable. I know, I shot 100mg and thought I exploded multiple sections of my brain out through my skull. It's insane. I cannot tell you what dose is right for you, but DO NOT combine with amphetamines or MPA and be very cautious if you're on any prescribed medications (ya know, the usual).
The EPH high is euphoric but sadly, only 30 minutes of euphoria with the initial 15 filled with waves and waves of intense rushing sensations I didn't know existed. A little scary. One could probably re-dose after a few hours, but it won't be anywhere near as good and you'll just end up wasting your EPH. Then you're more or less "stimulated" for up to three hours or so based on what I've read, but very mildly. The (INTENSE) euphoria is over in 30 minutes.
Also a word of warning! EPH is caustic and I personally strongly advise diluting your dose as much as possible and don't miss. Ouch. This .. EPH .. basically it's just a DRI but one of those substances that will kill you if you abuse it.
Just wanted to add this, I was skimming over a Wiki earlier and I came across this,
"...with ADHD who use stimulant medications generally have better relationships with peers and family members, generally perform better in school, are less distractible and impulsive, and have longer attention spans."
...exactly how I feel on functional stimulants at the appropriate dose. It makes me sad. I didn't like d-amphetamine, too much dopamine agonist, too high, but out there on the streets are these bags of substances we call "speed/meth/whatever" but really have no idea what we're buying. Sometimes I felt moments of calm and clarity, that's what I seek. Focus, motivation, improved concentration and the ability to actually study the subjects that interest me without having my mind wander...
I'm very curious to try Methylphenidate at a prescribed dose because it's an NDRI without the dopamine agonist. Huzaah! Yeah I know, but I'm well over my party days (I've done it all). I'm more focused on education, career, my mental health and creating a family. I'm 29 years old.
> MPA and EPH: NEVER COMBINE EVER.
NEVER EVER!
> MPA with alcohol 'I've heard is nice' (it's almost like, a low dose of speed with less emphasis on the speed getting you high, so it's a good combination. You won't take more MPA than you need, the alcohol relaxes you and gives the dopamine hit while the MPA kicks your adrenaline pump in the butt so you can have a longer night out)
> MPA with Modafinil: 'I like it so far, want to explore further'
> MPA with Piracetam: 'I've read reports, sounds very similar to Modafinil combo, even heard it's better (less nasty side-effects etc.)
> MPA on it's own. Solo. 'Depends on your preferred ROA. Snorting anything is just damaging your nasal tissue, oral will last longer but how much is the right dose for you? It's smokable (glassy / meth pipe), tastes average but you get a feel for it and it doesn't last too long, comedowns are nothing - providing you've been taking care of yourself while under-the-influence - the basics, keep your fluids up, EAT, take Ginkgo Biloba extract for vasodilation, vitamin E for your heart, L-Tyrosine to replenish those dopamine and adrenaline supplies, for IV users make sure you're using clean equipment, swabs etc. blah blah blah you get it
Pro MPA for a functional stimulant (low doses), an alcohol companion (just don't get blind, drink responsibly) but if you want a rush then it's EPH via IV. It hurts too much to snort and again, damaging, I'm sure it can be taken orally (on it's own, no MPA, no amphetamines, alcohol is probably ok) for a good night out but I don't have any personal experience in that area with that substance via that ROA.
PS - always good to keep benzos on-hand "just in case", common sense for the regular stimulant user
BENZO BLACKOUT WARNING! Don't try to get high with benzos, you'll just black out and wake up in hospital or at a police station. Or not wake up at all.......
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm an IV junkie who has almost no control if I have substances that feel good injected directly into the bloodstream, slammed right in. I (almost always) binge until the substance is gone or my body can't handle it and crashes, up to five days may have passed in that time.... some food may have been eaten, a protein bar or two per day... usually ends up with me in severe hypertension, elevated blood pressure, severe dehydration (very serious, can kill if not treated) plus sleep deprivation, hallucinations sometimes occur at the six and seven day mark..
Oh. This substance I has abused for years, almost always intravenously. This is a RC, a research chemical. We have no idea what the level of toxicity these RC's could potentially have, but I have caused damage to my eyesight because of this chemical. Who knows what else... anyway I'm off the drugs, ALL drugs. Nicotine, caffeine, amphetamines, anti-depressants (never actually diagnosed), benzodiazepines / poison and eveything else. I'm done. Wish me luck. Ten years of drug abuse behind me, I'm excited but I have actually never benefited from using... I got high... doesn't interest me anymore.
Be careful with RC's, they are unreasearched chemicals being sold. Just think about it, try and be safe and look after your body and mind.
