SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE #
This is one that almost got away. It was a freebie; a single pill in a packet, given to me by a head shop in Manchester after I had purchased a number of other items, and engaged in a chat about the market. It was months later that I decided to try it, albeit with a little trepidation, given multiple online reports of high body load.
I experienced relatively little in terms of nausea or general malaise, but equally, not an all firing or visual psychedelic trip either. Yes, I was psychoactively aware, with a vague psychedelic headspace, but it was not a particularly strong or exciting one.
Unable to have a second spin of the wheel, with AMT no longer available, I could only speculate three reasons: I didn’t take enough (despite reference dose sources indicating otherwise), the AMT had degraded by the time I consumed it or the set and setting was wrong for the context of the trip.
If it was still accessible I would probably sample this again, but under significantly different conditions.
