Experience:120mg/170mg 4-FA - Substance Overview: Difference between revisions

'''Context:''' Ive had two interactions with 4-FA now, it has been the first recreational stimulant I have tested. My two experiences contained compulsive redosing, however starting doses were low on each occasion. I will outline the basic events of each test and give my subjective thoughts on this chemical. These will be less detailed than my other reports, as they were not terribly detailed experiences.

Colours were bright, the shower felt incredible on my skin. The depth of the sensation of hot water and steam embracing my surroundings was incredible. I was in ecstasy, how wonderful this morning was turning out to be. Wild Nothings “Paradise” was playing from my phone in my sink, the music keeping me moving. I showered for around 20 minutes, I didnt get very much cleaning done, it was mostly dancing. I was very clear headed, and very focused. The nature of my focus was hyperattentive, but easily distracted, I would jump from very intense focus to another. Thoughts came easily, body feels good, warm, stimulated. I sat around dancing to music and talking to friends on the internet for a while, and then my friend showed up at my apartment.

After some talking and smoking, I decided to take another, higher dose, so that I would be pushed into a more (hopefully) MDMA like experience. I weighed 83mg on my scale, put it in a gelatin capsule, and swallowed. We got in my friends car, and they drove us to a small lot of food carts. I wasnt hungry, the come up was longer than the first one. I felt good, talkative, interested in what my buddy had to say. We were discussing business things, and the more we got into the subject matter the more I felt myself understanding and absorbing it with a sense of meaningfulness. I tried to eat, taste was astonishingly rich, but not too much for me. The food I was eating tasted amazing, but I just wasnt very motivated to eat. At 12:40 I said we should head back, because I was getting bored and my friend had finished their food. They agreed, they had stuff to do anyway.  

When β got to my apartment, the euphoria was fading. The stimulation remained exactly where it had been for the peak. β dosed 166mg, came up for an hour, and left by 18:30. I had somewhere to go, another meeting, I hadnt expected the chemical to last this long. At 18:40 I left for the meeting, all mental stimulation and euphoria had subsided, but music appreciation was still enhanced and my mood was boosted until around T+12.

The afterglow persisted late into the night. It was not until 3:00 in the morning that I was able to get to sleep. My mood crashed at around 22:00, but it wasnt depressive, just dead. The following day I was tired, but not mentally drained. Very manageable.

Ingested at 17:30, slightly anxious about rolling, but ready. I had two joints prepared, I started smoking the first half of one of them at T+00:45 when out for a walk with one of the people at the party. I had ingested on a full stomach, because I knew that I wouldnt have been hungry at the party and didnt want to try and force myself to eat in order to be sustained in nutritional energy. By T+1:00 I was perplexed but not worried about not feeling peak effects yet. I assumed it was lengthened by the food in my stomach.  

Now I was peaking, it was very strong. A high frequency of deeply comforting, warm, and visceral waves of euphoria accompanied me for the rest of the night. I was easily distracted, and spent most of my time listening to people talk. I found the social environment overwhelming, as the stimulation increased. I was very much physically enjoying this experience, but I felt kind of off kilter. I could sense everyones emotions, I was very concerned with the well being of the other people at the party. I spent a good amount of the time having intimate one on one conversations, cracking jokes, helping food prep, and listening to this engineer talk about electron mapping to figure out stuff about Intel processors. At one point I left the party to sit in my car and smoke the other joint while being able to listen to my own music. Unfortunately the partygoers were playing classic rock, which really was not the vibe I was feeling at the moment.
