DOSE:
7-10 mg vaporized 5-MeO-DPT (powder / crystals)
BODY WEIGHT: 170 lb
Setting: at home alone on a Friday afternoon. I feel pretty good because of a stressful deadline the previous day, and am looking forward to taking a break from work. I feel a bit tired because of mild caffeine withdrawal.

Dose: probably at most 12mg of 5-MeO-DPT freebase, vaporized at around 200 degrees C with an e-mesh vape (who knows how accurate the temperature is on these things). My milligram scale said 10mg, but it might be off by a few mg. But I would guess the dosage I actually took was probably closer to 7-8mg, as it seems that some material was left behind on the mesh.

First I tried 180C which melted it but didn't produce any smoke. I then tried 200C...

Even before I exhaled, I was pressed into a 2-dimensional existence by an incredible force. It was like my consciousness was pressed down by an enormous sphere. My visual processing slowed down to a crawl where I could only see at around one frame per second. I was just barely able to notice the larger-than-expected cloud of smoke that I had exhaled and had the sense to open the window before falling over onto the bed. It was easy to forget I had a body. I was locked in to my mind for a least a few minutes, just purely existing and trying to make sense of how I could feel so absurdly flattened yet overwhelmed, how my entire life could be compressed into a tiny space.

As I listened to an album, the music seemed incredibly novel and profound despite that I have listened to this album dozens of times before. I could hardly recognize the particulars of any songs, and was only able to discern broad themes. It wasn't until 20 minutes later that I was able to recall the title of one of the tracks. This 20 minutes felt like it went by in less than 5 minutes. My mind was racing, but in reality I was operating in slow motion.

My thoughts were barely comprehensible, alternating between extreme awe and extreme anxiety (about death, personal struggles, work, etc). It was as if each of the issues relevant to my life were enumerated and dismissed in quick succession, without actually going into any depth and giving me no increased understanding of the issues. I tried everything I could to relax, to let go, but the anxiety was forceful and intrusive. This left me quite exhausted and depressed as the drug wore off over the next hour.

By the 2 hour mark, I was 95% at baseline, but had occasional physical twinges of anxiety and my bodily movement perception was skewed which made it hard to type and use the mouse on my computer, as I would generally miss the keys and move the mouse too much or too little for where I wanted it to go. After 3 hours, everything was completely normal.

The whole experience was ultimately weird and bad. Besides the issues with perception and movement, I also experienced rather severe vasoconstriction and felt very cold. There were no visual effects.
