This is a report of two different occasions using MPA, or Methiopropamine; the first can be seen as background and context for using the drug together with the first account of my initial experience snorting the drug.

Effects
Aggregated from 17 single-substance Erowid experience reports; 11 Erowid reports where another drug was taken too are left out
Each bar shows the share of analyzed reports whose text mentions that effect — a mention is not always a first-hand experience (fear of an effect or something witnessed can count). Mentions saying the effect did not happen are left out; that check reads keywords, so it can miss some. The shaded band on a bar, and the small range after its number, is the 95% interval: where the share could plausibly be with other reports of the same kind. Fewer reports, wider band. Tap or hover any number for details. The second value is the Bluelight extractor's per-effect confidence; a dash means the row is Erowid-derived, which has no confidence measurement.
Too few reports for bars: these effects come from 17 single-substance Erowid reports, and a bar is drawn only from 20 reports or more. With fewer, a percentage cannot tell a common effect from a rare one. Counts are shown instead. Why 20?

Also reported in combinations. In the 11 Methiopropamine reports where another drug was taken too, 0 mention hospital, emergency services or an overdose, 0 a seizure and 1 psychosis (too few reports for percentages). In the 17 single-substance reports: 1, 0 and 0. These are not in the figures above: they cannot be put down to Methiopropamine alone, and a mention is not always something that happened to the writer.

Substance Background: For clarification my substance 'use' over the past two years has been inexistent. However, the substances I will list here are things I used years ago.
The backstory: After meeting with some friends that had taken methiopropamine in the form of a legal high mixed with benzocaine (Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate), presumably to combat the quite painful snorting, in an unspecified ratio, my friend and I decided weยd try it after a bit of research.
Some user details have been slightly modified for privacy, but all of the following information is completely true and carefully recorded. Background on me: mildly bipolar, longtime chronic mild anxiety sufferer, access to benzos both ยrcย and prescribed.
I've been researching chems to ingest for the purpose of study over the last year. I've tried a few of the racetams, (pir, ani and oxi) finding that oxi gave me near photographic memory while piracetam seems completely inactive.
I have experienced narcoleptic symptoms for roughly a dozen years; and no treatment, mainstream or otherwise, has exhibited fewer side-effects than methiopropamine (i.e. MPA).
(decided to start documenting at 3:45PM, times up until then are estimates.) Today I awoke at about 1:30 from a night of watching the first 4 episodes of Breaking Bad. Through the night I remember having very weird dreams that seemed extremely inspired by Breaking Bad.
I am a 28 year old artist with a fairly logical and normal state of mind. I wouldn't consider myself to be paranoid and/or over the top. I am currently on no medication but have suffered from depression in the past.

I have taken MPA in the past with mixed results. It has always been either very good (productive, worthwhile, no problems) or had started out OK but quickly began making me feel very sick. Anyway, I'm tired of Monster and coffee which aren't doing much because I haven't slept since I got up on Friday at 4:00 PM.
Background : I've been prescribed Adderall (30mg/twice daily) for about a year now, the first 6 months of having it I abused it a lot, snorting it and taking way too many at one time.
As many of you will be aware, Methiopropamine was temp banned in the UK on the 27th of November. This was the day that the 1 gram I had ordered arrived in my mail. It is now two weeks later.
Substance : Methiopropamine HCL Appareance : Fine white powder - clumpy and sticky First time experience on a "pure stimulant" (not empathogen) I don't have any stimulant tolerance and I have never tried a pure functional stimulant. Only experienced MDMA as "stimulant" and Methylone.
After looking all around, I found one post on this being possible. But there was limited information on dose, effect, duration and general effects. I'm sure there as many who would like a small trip report for this ROA, with an otherwise disappointing RC.
I bought 500mgs of this stuff off've a reputable vendor. I consumed about 200-250mg's of it over the night and gave out the rest. Not sure exact doses though. It was a clumpy white powder and every dose was snorted.
Hi I am new to Blulight , I used to post on champlegals before it was closed but I stopped once cathinones were controlled as there was nothing new to report. I am healthy and was in a good frame of mind at the time of taking this substance. I recieved a sample or Methiopropamine from a reputable supplier.
