5-MeO-DiBF

I chopped a pellet in two, and orally consumed 25mg. For the record I am approx 5ft 10in, and weigh just over 12 stone.

0.00 25mg ingested. Yuk, of course. I'm not sure why, but my upper lip was slightly numbed, possibly by loose powder from the pellet.

0.15 Slight headspace already developing. Shulgin +. I can tell already that it is psychoactive.

0.30 Definitely psychoactive. Hornability check? The answer is yes.

0.45 Still coming up I believe. Check blood pressure: it’s elevated.

1.00 I feel good. Nice head vibe. Not psychedelic in the full-on 1p-LSD sense, but a clear psychodelic feel nonetheless. Now this bit is interesting though: I feel tingly, a bit cold (I add a layer of clothing), but skin feels touchy. Hornability checked again via quick perusal of porn.... yes, it's there alright.

1.15 I feel I have reached a plateau. Physical feel and bodyload seems to have subsided slightly.

1.30 I feel chilled, relaxed, and don't really feel any stim effect. Sedated? I don't know: possibly but just a nice feel.

2:00 I am coming down now. Gently. Decent head space. I feel a little distant but in a nice way.

2:30 Definitely approaching baseline.

3.00 Ate a meal, back to normal with just a residue feeling. Come down is decent so far.

CONCLUSIONS
On a small dose it is always going to be presumptuous to make conclusive statements. However, some subjective observations might add value to the debate.

Firstly, this is definitely psychoactive, even at 25mg. I had a reasonably nice time and can see the potential. Dosage? I can see why this is being sold in 50mg pellets, as on the basis of my trial that would surely deliver a more substantive experience.

Still on dosage, I think the TripSit figures (copied again below) are probably closer to the mark than the ad hoc experiments of hundreds of mg discussed earlier in this thread. I wouldn’t want to start at that level, for certain.

I'd been waiting for 5-MeO-DiBF powder to be made available before trying this out. After delivery and a ~1mg allergy test in the afternoon, I was able to try out an initial dose in the evening. I decided to stick to 50mg rather than immediately going for a higher dose - even though I take large doses of some things, there's no guarantee I won't be sensitive to another. I have enough of the powder to experiment without worrying about wasted doses, so a weekday 50mg it was.

This is a nice looking, very clean, bright white powder. I measured 50mg, tipped it into a glass, swirled some cola around and drank it down. A litte bit of an odd taste, but nothing that stands out. Oral seemed a reasonable route for a first dose, but I didn't consider until later that the rate of absorption may be significantly quicker when partially dissolved and simply drunk down. Over the next couple of minutes a mild feeling of numbness spread across my mouth - I'm glad I'd read about this previously or I may have been a little confused. I have limited experience with tryptamines, having tried Ayahuasca a few times and 'shrooms a couple of times. I didn't get on with 5-MeO-DALT, which ranged from mildly active to feeling vaguely toxic, so having a near-cousin to the psychedelic tryptamines available is quite exciting.

I became aware of perceptual changes within ten minutes of dosing - subtle visual distortions at first, then a clear brightening of colours and a scattering of visual snow across my visual field. A psychedelic head-space was asserting itself. The come-up continued to gather pace and intensity for the next hour or so and was accompanied by a little confusion and distractability. Physically, I felt fine - a minor hint of nausea that never developed any further, a dry mouth, massive pupils. I consider myself a reasonably experienced tripper, but the continual increase in the intensity bordered on the dysphoric towards the end of the come-up phase. I was fine, but staying fine required more effort than I was expecting and I was pretty glad not to have gone for a bigger dose. I can easily imagine someone with limited psychedelic experience freaking out at a higher dose - which seems like a decent reason for restricting access to the potentially more bio-available powder-form to intermediate/advanced customers.

And then the intensity stopped building and I was above the clouds, peacefully gliding along at optimal cruising speed. It was about a hour of come-up in all and, now that it had plateaued, I was able to enjoy the effects rather than cope with them. Visuals are often the most obvious and immediate part of a psychedelic experience and this was no exception. Two words come to mind: Bright and colourful. Some colour cycling, a certain pastel fluffiness to the world, breathing surfaces etc. Nothing particularly distinctive or extreme, but you'd miss them if they weren't there. Later on I checked out the CEV's and was very pleasantly surprised - complex geometric forms in motion.

The nausea had disappeared with the mild dysphoria and I was hungry. So I ate and it was extremely good, definite sensory enhancement. Likewise, music sounded great. There seemed to be a slight stimulant edge to the proceedings, which wasn't unwelcome. Some mild euphoria or maybe just giddiness went hand in hand with the stimulation. Was I enjoying myself now? Yes, I certainly was. The anxiogenic come-up felt like it had blown all the cobwebs away and, though I've logged the hours on these kind of flights many times before, it felt fresh - all shiny and new. The plateau lasted about three hours in total before the descent back to baseline began - another drawn out affair, but relaxing and non-threatening. Residual effects - mildly dilated pupils - were still there a couple of hours later, but I feel essentially back at baseline and by seven hours after initial ingestion I was fully returned.

So, a pretty successful first experience with 5-MeO-DiBF and much more active at the 50mg mark than I would have expected (it's not like the receptors in my brain are underutilised when it comes to chemical modification). I feel sure that the method of dosing I used - powder dissolved into an acidic liquid - is responsible for at least some of that. First times are always more difficult than their sequels - now that I know the come-up can be intense, it should be easier to deal with it on the way up. I'm interested to see whether the visuals evolve in interesting directions at higher doses and what else is brought into focus. Duration from initial dose to nearly baseline was around 5 hours, which, for me, is long enough to feel worthwhile, but doesn't consume an entire day. Other routes of admission may also be promising (although sub-lingual seems like it would lead to drooling).
