1. Introduction
This account details personal experiences with insufflating a substance, exploring both low and higher doses in various settings. The two main experiences—an initial test with smaller amounts, followed by a larger dose after a tolerance break—provide insights into how dosage and setting affect the nature of the trip. The experiences involved a combination of social situations, physical reactions, and visual distortions that provide a comprehensive view of how insufflation affects the user.
2. Initial Doses: 15-20 Milligrams Snorted
The Effects of Insufflation
In the first experience, a total of approximately 15 to 20 milligrams was snorted. The substance was taken in small bumps using the index finger, producing a strong, sharp burn. The burning sensation was intense but tolerable, similar to other substances such as 2C-B, though a higher dose was needed to achieve similar effects.
This initial experiment took place after a night out drinking with co-workers, which may have affected the experience due to the combined effects of alcohol and the substance. The come-up was characterized by a smooth transition into the high, which felt relatively free of anxiety, including social anxiety.
Initial High and Social Comfort
The lack of social anxiety was a notable aspect of this experience. The user was able to engage in conversation with an old friend more openly than usual, although they noted that this was likely influenced by alcohol. This relaxed social interaction was unusual for the user, and the distinction between the effects of alcohol and the insufflated substance remained uncertain.
Visual and Sensory Distortions
As the high progressed, visual distortions began to emerge, resembling the effects of snorting 2C-B. The world started to appear slightly warped and unusual, with certain elements of the environment becoming visually distorted in ways that were difficult to describe but distinctly different from normal perception.
When the user returned home, they noted more body tingling than in previous experiences with oral dosing, and the visuals took on a somewhat realistic quality—though still with a glossy, cartoon-like appearance. This effect was notably different from the usual visual experience when the substance was taken orally, indicating that insufflation might amplify certain visual characteristics.
Heart Rate and Other Physical Effects
Along with these visual effects, the user experienced a noticeable increase in heart rate, although they were hesitant to attribute this solely to the substance. The physical exertion from the night out and the presence of alcohol in their system could have been contributing factors. Another notable sensory phenomenon was a persistent ringing in the ears, which the user described as a high-pitched sound commonly associated with tinnitus. They weren't certain if this ringing was a common occurrence or specific to their experience.
Despite the heightened sensations, the user was able to fall asleep relatively easily at the peak of the experience.
3. Second Experiment: 70 Milligrams and a Tolerance Break
Effects of Higher Doses and a Full Stomach
Two weeks after the initial experiment, the user conducted a second test following a tolerance break. This time, they ingested 70 milligrams of the substance after a heavy meal, which affected the timing of the peak. The user began to peak about two hours into the experience, similar to their previous experience with 70 milligrams, but noted that the effects were slightly weaker—likely due to the full stomach.
Snorting a Higher Dose
Approximately four hours into the experience, as the peak was subsiding, the user decided to insufflate an additional dose by snorting a normal-sized line. The burn in the nose was noticeable but much less intense than the initial test with a smaller amount, which they found curious. They observed that the burn-to-dose ratio did not seem to correlate with intensity as much as they expected, comparing it to the burning sensations of other substances like 2C-B, 2C-E, and NBOMes, which are known to cause significant discomfort when snorted.
After snorting the line, the user did not feel an immediate rush, but instead experienced an unpleasant drip at the back of their throat, which made them gag. Eventually, the intensity of the trip increased slightly, but it was not overwhelming.
Cognitive Alterations and Anxiety
However, the added dose brought on some cognitive changes that led to anxiety. The user described feeling sudden panic, which caused their heart rate to spike. This moment of anxiety took over their focus, and they spent the rest of the trip trying to calm down and regain control. Fortunately, they were able to relax and move through the experience without further complications, but this brief moment of panic was significant enough to leave a lasting impression.
The user also expressed concerns about experiencing heart problems, although they were unsure if this was related to their previous anxieties or to the substance itself.
4. Visual Phenomena and Conclusion
A particularly interesting visual phenomenon occurred as the user prepared for bed. They noticed that the blue flashing light from their speakers, which was normally bright in a dark room, became almost invisible when looked at directly. However, when viewed from their peripheral vision, the light appeared much brighter and slightly distorted in size. This effect added another layer of unusual perception, demonstrating how the substance altered not just visual clarity but also spatial awareness.
Overall, the repeated experiences with insufflating doses revealed notable differences between smaller and larger doses, especially regarding visual effects, sensory distortions, and cognitive alterations. The physical discomfort, such as nasal burning and gagging, was also a key aspect of the insufflation experience, but the intensity of these sensations did not always correlate directly with the dose. Moments of anxiety, heightened heart rate, and unusual visual effects contributed to a complex and sometimes disorienting experience.
