Background
I'm not used to drugs, I smoke some weed a few times a year on some friends' joints but that's all.
It's my 2nd time taking psychoactive substances such as 4-ACO-MET, the first time being a week prior to this take with a 0.35g of 4-HO-MET.
I was with my 2 best friends (who like me took 0.4g) + another friend (who took 0.2g) and the girlfriend of one of my best friends who didn't take anything and helped us by regularly giving us water bottles and making food.
We smoked some weed after swallowing the 2 pills of 0.2g each while it was taking off and also a bit during the trip.
I haven't eaten a lot this day so I was just a little hungry but not that much.
We were celebrating my musical mixtape being finished by listening to it under 4-ACO-MET.
Experience report : Timeline
T+ 0:00 (8:30PM) - Ingestion in one-shot of 2 pills of 0.2g each
We smoke and listen to some music while waiting for the effects.
T+ 0:15 - First alert
My friends start having some effects but I'm waiting while being relaxed by the weed I smoked.
T+ 0:40 - Visual effects starts, take off
I start seeing patterns in the shadows, morphing into shapes of animals like a turtle, lights becomes warmer and wider with Color enhancement and I'm feeling happy and relaxed even if my heart rate accelerates highly (I'd say maybe between 90 and 115BPM)
T+ 1:00/15 - Brain conflicts starts
Although while having more visuals effects like Color replacement (lights of my computer's RGB light getting more and more everywhere in the room, on the walls), Depth perception distortions, Drifting, Environmental patterning, I also start having some Déjà vu, Ego replacement and a slowed sense of time (a minute can feel like 5 or 10). Also the music appreciation is way more intense.
Physical effects start like Mouth numbing and a Dehydration feeling, sensory receptors being randomly triggered (you're hot, or feel wet when you're not, which is confusing and can lead to stress or panic because a few times I felt like I've pissed myself or needed to go pee when I didn't).
T+ 1:30 - Intense brain conflicts, peak of "undesired" effects
Visual effects get more intense and I'm enjoying it while feeling good but physical effects keep happening and I'm having a brain conflict because I keep forgetting what I'm doing, who I am and I try again and again to keep consciousness and being able to not forget what I'm doing and follow a discussion with the person I'm talking to. Also music appreciation is really high and I feel like I'm understanding more how the music is made (I'm a musician).
T+ 2:30 - Brain conflicts stops
Physical effects have stopped (except Dehydration which will last the whole trip) and so has my mental conflict. I'm able to focus and not forget what I'm doing. I'm feeling really good (to compare, I feel like right after sex, but it doesn't stops and lasts) and enjoying being able to see and focus on all the visuals effects happening. Television's images feel like 3D and pictures move by themselves, everything looks a bit cartoonish and I see fractals moving in random things like photos, the toilets floor tiles or light's shadows. Heart rate starts being normal again.
T+ 3:30 - Enjoying everything, comedown starts
Visual effects keep happening but to a lesser degree and I start having Visual stretching when I pose my look in a direction. Lights are still warmer and I also start having color distortion at the edge of my sight, the RGB lights of my computer are always in a fraction of my sight and feels like a visual candy. I'm really mentaly present and conscious, I appreciate everything I see and feel and start looking at colorful youtube videos (Macro Room's channel) to enjoy it more while listening to music. The feeling of peacefullness (like after sex) keeps being here. Videos on TV looks 4k 60FPS even if the TV isn't that great.
T+ 5:30 - Last bits
Visual effects are disappearing little by little, the major effects still here are the lights being warmer and the videos on TV being 4k 60FPS, the feeling of wellbeing like after sex starts evaporating and I'm just happy and relaxed by the little bits of weed I smoked. If I focus I can still produce some visual effects like little fractals on tiles or 3D images but to a lesser degree.
T+ 7:00 - End of the trip
I don't have any visual effects anymore except the lights being a little warmer.
T+ 24:00 - The next day
I was a bit tired the day after but I didn't sleep enough the night so I can't say it's because of 4-ACO-MET. No side effects during the intake or the day after are to be reported except artificial lights being visually warmer for a few days thanks to Colour enhancement.
Conclusion
For the 2nd time taking this kind of substance, I really appreciated this experience and would recommend a smaller dosage if no experience with psychoactive substances (like 0.20g.). Made me feel really good and I had a good time with my friends listening to music and talking together.
From my experience, suits perfectly for recreational use in a safe space with lots of visual hooks in the room to accentuate the effects or make them more interesting. Would also recommend drinking a lot during the intake, I think it really helped me not to have any side effects like headache (which I had the week prior with 4-HO-MET).
