male, 150lbs. I held a 1mg blotter under my tongue for about 15 minutes. The effects came on much quicker than I expected. I was in the thick of it no more than 30 minutes after swallowing what was left of the blotter. The trip was incredible.
Somebody on another forum asked about visual queues that might distinguish this drug from, say, LSD... One thing that I noticed was that I had trouble focussing on anything within 3 feet of my face. The others who were on it at the same time reported having the same problem. Regarding the safety of mixing it with alcohol, I had a glass of champagne at some point in the night (about 4-5 hours into the trip) but felt no negative side effects. It wasn't enough alcohol to get me drunk, but I would expect to feel something if it reacted negatively with the 25I.
All in all, the trip was spectacular. I was overwhelmed by spiritual/psychedelic revelations and feelings of joy, awe, and love throughout the night. It wasn't as visual or immersive as two hits of acid but, then again, I was at a New Years Eve gathering and wasn't really fostering that type of trip. Even so, my thoughts were very psychedelic, and there were a few times when I found myself alone in a room and started experiencing intense auditory and visual hallucinations (almost like a DMT trip). I also experienced synaesthesia on several occasions. I'm confident that, with the amount of 25I that I took, the trip could've been so much more if I had only allowed it to be by being in a more appropriate setting.
Anyways, I could totally see 25I as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to acid, though I would still use it sparingly given that the jury is still out regarding the safety of this drug.
