First trial of 5-MeO-MET - 6mg rectally Feb 12th, 2020 by Xorkoth 2:30pm (T+0:00) - Ingested 6mg of 5-MeO-MET rectally. It has the appearance of a tan, fine powder, reminiscent of the 5-MeO-MiPT I have. I tasted a tiny bit of it (just a dusting left on the weighing tray) and it tastes just about like 5-MeO-MiPT.

Summary
An obscure psychedelic drug similar in structure to 5-MeO-DMT. Possibly first synthesised by Alexander Shulgin. Likely to have similar effects to other tryptamine psychedelics.
Perspectives
“This is a boring and uncomfortable drug when taken orally, underwhelming and underperforming in just about every conceivable way. The physical sensations consist primarily of discomfort and unease, with muscle aches, nausea, and excess stimulation casting dominion over the experience. There is nothing remotely pleasant or enjoyable, just a sense that no matter what I do my body is not quite right.”

Effects
Aggregated from 3 Erowid experience reports
Each bar shows the share of analyzed reports whose text mentions that effect — a mention is not always a first-hand experience (fear of an effect, something witnessed, or "did not happen" count too). Tap or hover any number for details. The second value is the Bluelight extractor's per-effect confidence; a dash means the row is Erowid-derived, which has no confidence measurement.

Background: I have done numerous psychedelics over the course of my life. Tons of LSD and MDMA and other random drugs. I have only taken 5-MeO's in the form 5-MeO-DiPT in pressed pills, and I was pretty impressed with the effect. After trying 5-MeO-MET orally with minimal effect, I decided to vaporize a tiny chunk.

This substance was surprisingly disappointing, and it seems like methoxyl esters of base tryptamines don't have a predictable relationship, especially given the potency differences across various 5-MeO tryptamines.

Tryptamines The Big and Dandy 5-MeO-MET Thread
Welcome to the Big & Dandy 5-MeO-MET Thread [original post] Anyone tasted this? Did a forum search and adding 5-MeO to anything results in it pulling anything that matches 5-MeO. I've seen it around and I'm fairly curious about it, even given the rough bodyloads of most 5-MeO's in general.
