I read that I would have a candyflip-type experience off a 20 mg dose of 5-Methyl-MDA. 20 mg did nothing. I took 40 more mg 1.5 hours later, and 30 or 45 minutes after that began eating mgs indiscriminately until about half of the 500mgs I ordered was consumed. The next weekend I dropped 250mgs all at once.
