This was a truly magical experience with 3-MeO-PCE (3-Methoxy-Eticyclidine). It was beautiful enough to motivate me to write my first exhaustive trip report, so here goes nothing.

Summary
3-MeO-PCE is a potent dissociative with a significantly higher risk of inducing mania, delusions, and psychosis than other dissociatives such as ketamine or MXE. It is extremely stimulating and carries a pronounced tendency toward compulsive redosing, especially when smoked or vaporized. Due to its high potency, volumetric liquid dosing is strongly recommended.
Perspectives
“Wow this is my new favorite dissociative, out of the many many I have tried. Itβs highly euphoric, but also very deep and psychedelic. It doesnβt feel like it impairs me in any way, rather it improves my function, and doesnβt have the delusional sort of mania that 3-MeO-PCP carries.”

Tolerance
Tolerance Decay
Acute tolerance: develops within a single session β the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Anecdotal pattern: rapid tolerance build with consecutive-day use; partial recovery over 1β2 weeks, baseline in ~2β4 weeks. Cross-tolerance across arylcyclohexylamines is commonly reported. Data quality: anecdotal.

Normally I read experience reports, but this substance has only a few other reports. I am not that great of a writer, and its so hard to put my sensations into words. I love dissociates, had it not been for my love affair with opiates, I might not have ever touched another class of drug.
[Erowid Note: The dose described in this report is very high, potentially beyond Erowid's 'heavy' range, and could pose serious health risks or result in unwanted, extreme effects.
The dancing electronic Terracotta Army After a few lovely past experiences with 3-MeO-PCE by myself in quiet settings I decided to go dance to some techno music on it. A somewhat well known DJ was playing a venue in my hometown and some friends and I decided to go.
In addition to the daily testosterone gel I apply, I take 10 mg aripiprazole and 100 mg lamotrigine nightly, and 150 mg bupropion in the mornings. I have experience with ketamine, 3-MeO-PCP, 3-MeO-PCE, 3-HO-PCP, 3-HO-PCE, and memantine.
I received a small sample of a relatively novel substance to try, 3-MeO-PCE, and plugged (rectal administration in a gelatin capsule). IΒm a tall, 200lb male with a very steady and calm temperament.
[Erowid Note: The doses described in this report are potentially life threatening. The amount taken is beyond a heavy dose and could pose serious health risks or result in unwanted, extreme effects. Doses such as this have been known to cause hospitalizations and/or deaths.
