    A Very Dull Double-Edged Sword IΒ’m writing this report quite a while after using the substance. IΒ’ve since stopped all drug use so thereΒ’s probably going to be a bit of bias against alpha-PHP (a-PHP from here on out) but the description of its effects should still be accurate. IΒ’m no stranger to stimulants.

    Have Been Using This Chem for a While neutral exp #104851

    I have been using this chem for a while, as have many others. Due to a lack of knowledge, the decision to collect and research this chemical became quite appealing. The dosages are comparable to the previous a-PVP; yet due to its addictive nature, redosing makes it hard to set a solid dosage.

    Snorting It Daily for About 2 Weeks [A-PHP] neutral exp #106914

    a-PHP Background: Regular weed smoker. Tried cocaine maybe 3-4 times before. I do procrastinate alot though. So I though, after reading several reviews, to give a-PHP a try to help with procrastination. First time ordered 1 gram about 3 months ago. It was in powder form.

    Perfect Stimulant neutral exp #105901

    I've used this drug in different ROAs, and will write different experience reports related to the ROA. I mostly use it to get shit done, since I have bad ADD. Oral : 20mg. I put a little crystal in my mouth, it kind of numbs my mouth, but not as bad as cocaine.

    Mind altering substances were a hobby of mine. Something I did in my own room, experimenting with various substances whether they be psychedelics, dissociatives, stimulants, deliriums etc. I didnΒ’t mention this Β“hobbyΒ” to most people I know, I like taking these substances and just seeing what happens in my room.
