WOW 2mins after writing this ive read that someone died from taking 50mg of mtx + 400mg mdai, heart failure apparently, so take it reallyeasy with this stuff.
Ouch. Scary. I just looked up on this and it has been confirmed that the person was using the drugs intravenously. Nobody without a 10 year ketamine tolerance should need 100 mg IV to get them where they're trying to go. And especially stacked with other drugs! Methoxetamine has proven itself to be benign in my experience. I have used it coming down off kratom a couple times to no ill effects (35-50 mg over 20 minutes or so). I suspect the IV was what did him in. Too much too fast and his body / heart just couldn't take it. I really do not suspect methoxetamine to be very dangerous, at all.
Still scary though. Reminds me a bit of the story where a pissed off girlfriend ate ~100 mg of methoxetamine to spite her RC-using boyfriend. Hospital ensued, but due to overreaction seemingly. She was not in danger. She didn't even know what the drug was; she just wanted to make her boyfriend feel guilty most likely.
+ MDAI is a deceptively strong drug, we've read loads of MDAI combos going wrong. There are always fears with new things, in fact most people have some fear every time they take something whether you know them or not, it's only a relative issue of comfort from experience, but we know so little about what most drugs do, and their long term effects, and the very complex interactions of biology, chemistry and life. I think you should be just as concerned about DMT use as MXE use (history not withstanding), I mean MXE may end up killing a few people, and it may have some horrible side effect that isn't immediately apparent... I think people are just suspicious of the UK RC scene because of some successful compounds that had unwanted side effects, but also because they were addictive compounds that drug dealers made a lot of money from... but we should all know the nature of chemistry, each compound is different, and the RC market in the UK has actually diverged because of the disasters, MXE is part of a wave of higher quality drugs with extremely responsible vendors... the vendors don't want their product in the news, they don't want people going to hospital - because that's how stuff gets made illegal, it's a new approach.
SHroomtroll- you may have some different views about dreams and such....I'm reading this like it's some kind of premonition (I don't believe in that), in my experience (+lot of scientific evidence) dreams seem to be a kind practice for upcoming scenarios in life... when I have worries or concerns for upcoming things, I often live out those scenarios in my dreams, things that could go wrong....quite common when you're gonna try something new. I remember my friend doing his first extraction, he would have nightmare scenarios leading up to the event, everything that could go wrong would be experienced in dreams/nightmares.... still I wouldn't let a dream stop you from trying some... by all means wait till you have more reports, that's probably smart..
UK Explorer-I think all drugs have a dark side, to me it's just a natural thing, we don't live these drug experiences every day for a reason... it's not conducive to day to day life. The "dark" side of a drug is often the mirror image of whats good about it... To me the darkside of DMT is obsession with the experience, that's not necessarily a bad thing... other drugs make you feel like you're gonna die and that is obviously a bad thing... but I will say again that it's the nature of chemicals to be different, you can't know MXE from your experiences with other RC's. I can tell you I have a lot of experience with RC's, and I would put this in a different class entirely.. almost nothing to compare it to, but also surprisingly free of "dark" or negative aspects.... me and my buddy have given MXE the tag line "too good to be true", because it's got this bluring of reality effect, it's so good you question whether this could be true... whether it's too good tho, who knows? it doesn't have a strong addictive effect, perhaps seductive, but you don't crash and you don't fiend binge or anything like that... and it doesn't seem to bring out negative qualities, but I'm not a negative guy, maybe if you're an asshole it makes you a bigger asshole.
