{{ | HXE first appeared for sale on the online research chemical market in late 2020. However, it has been announced about three years prior where it has been 'hyped' for a long time but was on hold due to synthesis difficulties.{{citation needed}} | ||
==Chemistry== | ==Chemistry== | ||
HXE or 2-(Ethylamino)-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexan-1-one is classed as an [[Arylcyclohexylamine]] | |||
It is substituted on the cyclohexane ring with an oxygen at the 2' position and a hydroxy group at the 3 position on the phenyl ring. In contrast, [[MXE]] is substituted there with a methoxy group. | |||
==Pharmacology== | ==Pharmacology== | ||
Very little is known about the pharmacology about this substance, however as an arylcyclohexamine it is reasonable to assume that it is an NMDA receptor antagonist. NMDA receptors allow for electrical signals to pass between neurons in the brain and spinal column; for the signals to pass, the receptor must be open. Dissociatives close the NMDA receptors by blocking them. This disconnection of neurons leads to loss of feeling, difficulty moving, and eventually an almost identical equivalent of the famous “k-hole.” | |||

HXE's effects resemble rather the effects of [[MXPr]], [[MXE]], [[DCK]] than more chaotic derivatives like [[O-PCE]] or [[MXiPr]]. Compared to [[MXE]], it has less of a warmth to it and is weaker in its euphoria and clearheadedness, which can roughly be considered equal to [[MXPr]]'s potency. | |||

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' or '''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' - HXE has a mild stimulating effect which promotes activities like socializing or moving. Higher doses will evidently lead to greater amounts of sedation as moving around can become difficult. However, there are some stimulating effects that persist at higher dosages as well. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' - The body feeling of HXE can be described as slightly warm, but also empty or rough at times. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Dizziness]]''' - This effect is usually uncommon. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Gait alteration]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Perfection of bodily lightness]]''' - This creates the sensation that the body is floating and has become entirely weightless. This effect is strangely stimulating and encourages physical activities at low to moderate doses by making the body feel light and effortless to move. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Motor control loss]]''' - A loss of gross and fine motor control alongside balance and coordination is prevalent within HXE and becomes especially strong at higher doses, although this compound seems to be less susceptiblw to this. This means that one should be sitting down before the onset (unless experienced) in the case of falling over and injuring oneself. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Spatial disorientation]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Tactile suppression]]''' - This partially to entirely suppresses one's sense of touch, creating feelings of numbness within the extremities. It is responsible for the anesthetic properties of this substance. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Pain relief]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Physical autonomy]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Nausea]]''' - High dose HXE experience can sometimes result in nausea and vomiting at the peak of the trip. For most people, this is surprisingly not as unpleasant as they would initially expect due to the accompanying detachment from the physical senses. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Optical sliding]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Orgasm suppression]]''' - Orgasm enhancement can also be present, even at higher doses. | |||

*'''[[Effect::Visual acuity suppression]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Double vision]]''' - This component is prevalent at moderate to heavy doses and makes reading impossible unless one closes an eye. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Pattern recognition suppression]]''' - This effect generally occurs at higher doses and makes one unable to recognize and interpret perceivable visual data. | |||

====[[Effect::Geometry]]==== | ====[[Effect::Geometry]]==== | ||
The visual geometry found within HXE can be described as very dark and bland when compared to that of [[ketamine]] or [[DXM]] and often consists of many tiny interlocking and woven lines. It does not extend beyond level 4 and can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Geometry#Variations|variations]] as simplistic in complexity, algorithmic in style, synthetic in feel, unstructured in organization, dimly lit in lighting, multicolored in scheme, glossy in shading, soft in edges, small in size, slow in speed, smooth in motion, equal in rounded and angular corners, immersive in-depth and consistent in intensity. | |||
====Hallucinatory states==== | ====Hallucinatory states==== | ||
At high doses, HXE can produce a full range of high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is less consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used [[psychedelic]]s. These effects include: | |||
*'''[[Effect:: | *'''[[Effect::Internal hallucination]]''' (''[[effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - In comparison to other [[dissociative]]s, this effect can occur at heavy doses, but is considerably less common than the same effect found within [[psychedelic]]s and [[deliriant]]s. It can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as delirious in believability, fixed in style, equal in new experiences and memory replays in content, autonomous in controllability and solid in style. | ||
*'''[[Effect::External hallucination]]''' (''[[effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - In comparison to other [[dissociative]]s, this effect can occur at heavy doses, but is extremely infrequent in comparison to the same effect found within [[deliriant]]s. It can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as delirious in believability, autonomous in controllability and solid in style. The most common theme for this effect to follow is one of experiencing and talking to friends when they are not actually present. | |||

{{effects/cognitive| | |||
HXE is generally considered to be euphoric and comfortable. It can also turn mildly confusing, although it's manageable and not nearly as wild as [[O-PCE]] or [[MXiPr]]. It is mostly clear-headed in comparison to that of [[DXM]] and [[ketamine]]. The specific cognitive effects can be broken down into several separate subcomponents which are listed and described below: | |||
*'''[[Effect::Amnesia]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Anxiety suppression]]''' | |||

*'''[[Effect:: | *'''[[Effect::Conceptual thinking]]''' | ||
*'''[[Effect::Creativity enhancement]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Decreased libido]]''' - This is not experienced in all environments, as [[Effect::increased libido]] may also be experienced especially at lower dosage ranges. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Déjà vu]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Depersonalization]] | |||
*'''[[Effect::Derealization]] | |||
*'''[[Effect::Disinhibition]]''' | |||

*'''[[Effect::Immersion enhancement]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Increased music appreciation]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::analysis suppression]] | |||
*'''[[Effect::Introspection]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Mania]]''' - This can potentially occur with users who are compulsively and regularly consuming large amounts of this compound. This effect occurs less often on HXE than it does on more stimulating dissociatives such as [[3-MeO-PCP]] or [[2'-Oxo-PCE]]. | |||

{{toxicity}} | {{toxicity}} | ||
The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational HXE use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because HXE has very little history of human usage. | |||
It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible use|harm reduction practices]] when using this substance. | It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible use|harm reduction practices]] when using this substance. | ||
===Lethal dosage=== | ===Lethal dosage=== | ||
The lethal dosage of HXE is not known. Based on it's effect it could probably be assumed, that it might carry roughly the same risk of death like similar compounds like [[DMXE]] or [[MXPr]]. | |||
===Tolerance and addiction potential=== | ===Tolerance and addiction potential=== | ||
As with other nmda receptor antagonists, the chronic use of HXE can be considered [[addiction potential::moderately addictive with a high potential for abuse]] and is capable of producing psychological dependence among certain users. | |||
when addiction has developed, cravings and [[withdrawal effects]] may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage. | |||
tolerance to many of the effects of HXE [[time to full tolerance::develops with prolonged and repeated use]]. | |||
this results in users having to administer increasingly large doses to achieve the same effects. | |||
after that, it takes about [[time to half tolerance::3 - 7 days]] for the tolerance to be reduced to half and [[time to zero tolerance::1 - 2 weeks]] to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). | |||
HXE presents cross-tolerance with [[cross-tolerance::all [[dissociative]]s]], meaning that after the consumption of HXE all [[dissociative]]s will have a reduced effect. | |||
