    A Wonderful Substance positive exp #96666

    Pentylone, overall, has become my drug of choice,having tried all the classic mainstream - including - hard drugs (heroin, meth, etc). It is a very unique and interesting compound.

    Last year I made an order for some insanely cheap Chinese chemicals, mostly mescaline deritivatives. After 6 months of waiting for them to be synthed (it's pretty shady to take someone's money when you don't in fact even have the substances synthed yet...

    So in my search to find a rc equally as amazing as methylone I've come accross pentylone and this is what I experianced. I started my night at 9pm with a rediculously low dose of 10mg taken orally.

    Nothing Special neutral exp #105745

    Sourced a small amount of this substance as it is still uncontrolled as of writing this. It came as a fluffy white and slightly cakey powder that is very difficult to handle due to it absorbing so much static electricity. It was about 100mg that was insufflated nasally over the course of about 3 hours.

    I'm writing this one mainly as a warning because I see a lot of bad potential, especially since it has a similar name to methylone which is now banned in the US and some are looking for replacements. I can promise you this is nothing at all like methylone (M1).

    Pentylone 1 2 Gram Second Round This Was A Better Go neutral

    (Sorry, still no mg scale, Santa seemed to miss this house.) Also, I apologize about the title, it was approximately 300 mg ingested, not half a gram. I just had half a gram that was going to play with for that session.

    Substance Purported To Be Pentylone 15 20mg First Time Not Recreational neutral

    Substance was acquired from a vendor who is fairly reputable on a certain forum, but does not have my complete trust due to me having received some impure mdpv from him. Appearance is slightly off white, chalky and powdery, slightly wet. Smells chemically and faintly of lemongrass.

    Pentylone Constant Redosing Inexperienced neutral

    DISCLAIMER: ALL RCS SHOULD BE TREATED WITH CARE AND YOU SHOULD NOT DO SUCH HIGH DOSES OF RELETIVELY UNKNOWN CHEMS, OR IV THEM IN GENERAL UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED IN THE AREA. KNOW YOUR BODY AND KNOW YOUR MIND. So so where to begin. I'm glad I am still high to right this otherwise it would never have happened.
