Two foils of 4-MAR containing 100 mg each.

Okay, I have recently acquired 2 points (a point is 0.1 gram or 100
mg – local slang) of a substance sold to me as Ice. I’ve been told it’s
NOT methamphetamine but U4EA (U4Euh). U4EA (pronounced euphoria) is the
common name for 4-methylaminorex (4-MAR)
[erowid.org]. Now this substance is not common at all, so I was
surprised at the availability of it. It costs only A$25 for a point of
powder. It’s not pure crystals (that’s a given, considering the price)
but I can see crystals in the crushed white powder mix. It burnt really
bad going up, and take note that I regularly insufflate crushed
dexamphetamine tablets, so I know the difference between an
unremarkable burning and a fairly bad burning, although my scale might
differ from yours. 🙂

Substance: 4-methylaminorex (4-MAR) also known as U4EA (Euphoria).
Initial dosage: 50 mg (eyeballed 1/2 of a point)
Method of administration: Insufflated (snorted)
Notes: I had 50 mg dexamphetamine orally about 6 hours ago on an
empty stomach, if that’s of interest. I was coming down when I
insufflated this.
Taste: Very, very bitter, like methamphetamine (licked a bit off the foil).
Drip: Gosh, I don’t even want to go into the drip. Nasty, bitter
stuff. Man…either the crystals are cut with something like quinine or
4-MAR tastes different from methamphetamine.
Visual: It’s a white powder with crystalline bits visible inside.

I’m feeling charged up now, renewed the flagging dexamphetamine
high. I snorted another 1/4 point and it’s definitely feeling pretty
speedy here in my slice of space/time. 🙂 I can’t tell for sure
(scientifically) whether it’s really U4EA (4-MAR), but it’s definitely
at least methamphetamine. It takes fairly long to come up though, it’s
not the instant charge of methamphetamine but it took damn near half an
hour to make it’s presence felt. It feels different from meth though,
but unless someone knows how to test for methamphetamine vs 4-MAR I
can’t say for sure.

My contact is pretty knowledgeable about drugs, and he’s not a dodgy
guy plus I can see no reason for him to say it’s U4EA as opposed to
meth, coz I would have bought it anyway. He also got hold of something
that most people can’t (Uncle Sid is in town =D), so I don’t doubt his
ability to get rare substances. I don’t care either way, coz it’s good
stuff compared to the meth that I used to get off another contact. It’s
definitely a powerful substance, just 0.75 mg (snorted) staved off and
totally negated a 50 mg dexamphetamine comedown and overcame the built
up amphetamine tolerance to give me a new rush of energy. My contact
warned me to go slow on this one, and that’s good advice. With only
0.75 mg insufflated, I’m feeling borderline amphetamine overdosage
indications, although strangely without the anxiety. This is going to
keep me up for a long while indeed. I get icy cold hands and feet and
compulsive behavior like biting my bottom lip.

stop doing that! stop it! can’t…feel a compulsion…stop! my bottom lip is getting mangled.

I’m feeling a strange body high too. Yes, a very different body
high. I’m feeling it now, it’s like the feeling of pissing while on
dexamphetamine, you get this head rush and a tingly sensation all over
your body. It started out very messy and scattered and it’s quite an
intense high, but whether this is from the combination with
dexamphetamine or just that I took too much amphetamines type
stimulants in one day, I don’t know. What I do know is that my heart is
beating uncomfortably fast and that worries me. I’m ignoring it though,
standard amphetamine side effects *whistling in denial*.

Okay, after an hour, my mind is starting to clear up, and heavy jaw
clenches and jaw tension is getting better. I feel like I can actually
work and think on this drug again, instead of the messy, scattered come
up I felt then. Unless I have contrary evidence, I believe my contact
in that this is 4-MAR (U4EA). I’m very wide awake and clear headed now.
It’s a surprisingly very ‘clear’ and ‘clean’ high compared to
methamphetamine. Keep in mind that this is qualitative evidence based
on my experience, how much is placebo and how much is true
pharmacological effects is questionable. What I mean by this is that I
can’t scientifically claim that this is either 4-MAR or meth, but I can
say for certain that the substance is a strong stimulant comparable
with methamphetamines. Furthermore, 50 mg of dextroamphetamine was
consumed orally beforehand (T -6:00) and that might have affected the
substance in unknown ways. I’ll try again next time with just 4-MAR
alone to really get a feel for the substance.

T-Shirt (Powered by: C10H15N)

Back of the T-Shirt

Okay, I’ve been getting into fooling around with Photoshop during my
breaks. I’m currently working on one of my 4000 word assignments now
and fleshed this out during a 15 minute break. I’m was thinking about
this during the character design requests for The Kollective [sixthseal.com] manga (which will be drawn in late June by Daniel
[geocities.com], the aspiring manga creator ;)) a couple of posts back
and I’m planning to get this printed into a real t-shirt. I like how it
came out, it reflects my interests and it’s subtle enough to not mean
anything to people not into the scene (and thus not attracting unwanted
attention) and yet gets the point across with an obscure reference
(which rewards people in the scene by ‘getting’ the reference and other
people for having the intellectual threshold to grasp the reference in
principal). What does everyone think? Should the back design be on the
front? I’m thinking this is better to get more ‘views’. Putting the
back design on the front is counter-productive because most people tend
of avoid eye contact and looking at my chest is too obvious and so
people will not have the chance to read everything. Having “I’m faster
than you…” on the front is meant as a ‘hook’ to get attention. The
phrase is fast and easy to read and ideally will generate interest. If
the ‘hook’ is effective, people will turn back to see the ‘punch line’
at the back of the t-shirt, so to speak. They can then read the more
verbose back design (which also p1mps my site ;)) while my back is to
them without appearing too hostile/confrontational or obvious due to
the “eye contact factor”. Thus, more ‘views’. This is from someone
who’s a computing major and is really clueless about design and hasn’t
done any sociology and minimal psychology subjects, so I may be
speaking out of my ass here with my quasi pop-psychology, but that’s
what I’ve noticed from human behavior extrapolated to effective t-shirt
designs. 😉 The “Powered by:” idea is from the AMD/Intel slogans and
the methamphetamine molecular structure picture and chemical formula is
from Rhodium
[rhodium.ws]. Any chemistry majors out there, feel free to correct any
errors in the molecular structure or chemical formula. Also, the fonts
are going to be sharper than they appear right now. Otherwise, I’ll
like to hear about what everyone thinks. Comments please, good design
or bad design and why?

Edit: I’ve been informed by a respected chemistry degree
holder that the chemical formula does not match the molecular
structure. Now, I’m no chemistry expert and I failed even SPM level
chemistry, but I think the ASCII representation is correct, they just
don’t show the hydrogen atoms. How do I know which ones are hydrogen
atoms and what are carbon atoms? I compared it to this 3D representation
[erowid.org] and counted the white thingies manually. 😉 I’m such a
hack, I have no skillz. I found that there were 15 white thingies and
the chemical formula has a H15 so I figured those are hydrogen
molecules. Haha! Anyway, also found out that the ASCII representation
drew the carbon atoms correctly, with the nitrogen atom connection
intact. I’m using atom and molecule interchangeably here, which again
highlights my lack of chemistry knowledge. 🙂 What is strange to me is
the fact that they drew the hydrogen atom at the nitrogen bond but not
anyplace else. Hmm…why is that? To save time or is it understandable
enough already? Chemistry people out there, is the ASCII design (the
one on the t-shirt) accurate enough or do I have to add H at
every joint and ending? Anyway, I still think the ASCII one looks
better (more subtle) than the 3D representation (link above). What do
you all think?

Star BBQ Restaurant

I went to Star BBQ Restaurant at Westfield Shopping Town yesterday
with Adrian and Christopher. It’s a buffet BBQ where there’s a variety
of pre-marinated meats and seafood in addition to cooked foods like
fried rice, honey chicken, peppered fish etc. It seems pretty popular
coz the place was packed the whole time we were there.

Hot Food, BBQ Meats, Desserts etc.

Anyway, I can’t remember what happened much but I ate more plates of
food than I could count. I particularly liked the drunken chicken
(yeah! had heaps of the drumstick bits) and the squid marinated
(drowned?) in Thai sweet chili sauce.

Shanghai pancake/pie.

Other things that I remember having: some strange Shanghai pancake
thingy that was filled with spring onions and a tiny bit of egg and
cooked on the spot, honey chicken, fried rice, fried noodles, mussels,
really large squid, variety of marinated meats and seafood, peppered
fish, green tea/mango pudding, heaps of soft serve ice cream with nuts
and caramel/choc sauce, sago pudding, jellies etc.

BBQ pit on every table.

and I just remembered that after I looked at the pictures, last
night was pretty much a blur. 😉 I felt so bloated after I finished
that I was sure my stomach lining was going to give way anytime. I
really reached full capacity last night. Heh.

aftrmath.jpg
The aftermath (some plates have been taken away).

It put me in a bit of a dilemma too. The food was salty and MSG
laden and I was so full already so I couldn’t drink more water. I was
like:

drink more water?
noooo…stomach can’t take any more volume
but msg, salt! me thirsty
hold…
wait for my go
can’t…take…any…more…right…now

and so it goes. 🙂

I was holding onto my stomach the whole time coz I was sure it was
going to burst at any time and I was helping to reduce the pressure.
Haha! I look very sedated in the photos but I swear that my Xanax face
[itsariot.com] is not due to a combination of Xanax + cannabis but
because I was too full. 😉 With hindsight, it was a bit torturing but
it sure is giving me much needed energy for tonight’s 36 hour run to
finish my assignments and tutorial exercises. Good thing I don’t have
classes on Mondays. 🙂

I was born 22 years ago, so I guess that makes today my birthday. 🙂
I’ll probably just go out for a buffet BBQ and maybe a movie with a
couple of my ex-classmates from Clayton. I had planned to head down to
QBH later where some of my uni mates are, but that has been scrapped
due to my unfinished assignments that’s due next week.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about resurrecting my 24/7 webcam now
that I’ve found a fast way to tunnel through the uni’s proxy, but
that’s still on the back of the to-do list of items. There’s bandwidth
issues to consider as well as the possibility of the webcam showing me
doing something compromising, like smoking a bong or something. Haha!
I’m kidding. That’s it for now. Catch you all later.

h2heroin.jpg

I had gotten another foil of heroin about a month ago and it’s been
sitting in my stash drawer ever since. I’ve been worried about this,
being raided and found in possession of heroin is a different scenario
than being raided and found in possession of cannabis. In the interest
of limiting my legal liability, I’ve consumed it last night. 😉

Anyway, this heroin is chunkier and more voluminous than the previous one I got
[sixthseal.com]. It’s sourced from the same place (Springvale – no harm
in mentioning the name, everyone knows it’s a hotbed of street level
heroin dealing anyway), although from a different dealer. This dealer
was squatting with a friend when I approached him and asked if he had
any smack.

Well, to tell you the truth, I was terrified at the nonchalance of
this dealer. It was in broad daylight (afternoon) when this happened,
and it was at a high traffic area. He said it’s A$50 for a foil and he
nudged his friend, who looked to the left and then to the right to spot
for police activity and then PULLED OUT A HUGE BAG CONTAINING AT LEAST
200 FOILS.

h2foil.jpg

To say I was appalled is an understatement. At this point, I was
about to bolt at the utter indiscretion of the dealers. I was literally
shaking in my boots (although I wasn’t wearing boots) while this deal
was happening. This was in broad daylight, at a high pedestrian traffic
area, and in a place where undercover cops is known to be operating and
yet this dealer just looked left and right and then grinned and handed
me a foil.

Well, that’s the last time I’m going to score on the street.
Theoretically, the police would be going after them and not me, but
still the risk is there. Anyway, I just held on to the foil in my hand
so I could just drop it at the slightest provocation should I be
apprehended. Luckily, nothing of that nature happened and I got back
safely and it’s been sitting in my drawer since then. I’m not a big fan
of heroin, but I just wanted a second experiment.

h2prep.jpg

Well, I crushed it up and insufflated (snorted) it last night. It’s
a common misconception that heroin can only be injected. Although
that’s the most efficient way to use it, I’m not interested in
injecting anything due to the various issues surrounding that route of
administration. [Edit: *cough* Er…yes, I have since decided I
wanted experience with that, so I IV’ed methamphetamine after setting
up a safety framework :p] The second most efficient route (smoking) is
logistically challenging as well, since I don’t own a glass pipe.

Thus, I just crushed everything up to a fine powder, racked it into
a line and up it went. I snorted half into my left nostril and the
other half into my right. I don’t know if there’s any difference in
doing that, but I do know from experience that substances should be
finely powdered and snorting should be hard enough to get it into your
sinuses and yet not so hard that it goes into your lungs or down your
throat (thus wasting it).

This is what I wrote:

burnt really bad going up
the drip was AWFUL
felt like bitterness x 10
chilly weather tonite
wearing little
windows open
yet…warmth 🙂
fuzzy warmth…
slowing down…
numbness
clothes is the fabric that shields your nudity from the world
heroin is the blanket that shields you from the world
that is all
blissfull
god…everything is perfect

Cliché, but that’s what I felt. 🙂 Effects were wearing off after 4
hours and I felt an unbearable and unstoppable wave of sleepiness, upon
which I slept for a solid 14 hours. However, that could just be paying
back my sleep debt from previous dexamphetamine runs. I felt it much
better this time, it’s very nice indeed, I’ll even use the word
‘wonderful’ to describe the effects I felt this time. I won’t be doing
it again anytime soon though. It’s a little too boring (no offense to
people who enjoy opiates) and expensive for me. Also, I’m aware of the
addiction potential, so thus ends my experiments with this substance,
unless there is reason for me to continue.

A funny conversation (overheard)

by

I had a meeting today with my IE client and our project has finally
been signed off. It’s a culmination of a year’s work and it was kinda
sad for things to end, strange as it may sound. 🙂

bdopen.jpg

Anyway, I saw that Bakers Delight @ Clayton is finally open to the
public. I just got a hot cross bun, and it was pretty good. They were
offering samples of bread on the counter too.

bdsample.jpg

Well, I’m feeling strangely sleepy now, so I’ll just be quick and
tell you a funny conversation I heard while on the bus. Anyway, there
was this group of Malaysian people sitting around me. I don’t know
them, but I overheard their conversation mentioning they’re from KL.
It’s impossible not to when some of them were opposite me and some
beside me.

Anyway, this guy (looks Malaysian as well) comes in at the bus loop
at Monash University and sat beside the Malaysian girl opposite me.
After a while, he struck up this conversation with the girl:

Guy: Are you Malaysian or Indonesian?
Girl: (looking disinterested) Malaysian.
(looks away again)
Guy: I figured you were. You had a typical Malaysian accent.
Girl: (looking annoyed) I’m Malaysian so of course I have a Malaysian accent.
(her friends around laughs)
Guy: Yeah, you have a very distinctive accent from which I can tell you’re Malaysian.
Girl: (looking very annoyed) I’m proud to be Malaysian.
Guy: Hey, so am I.
(extends hand)
Girl: (considers for a moment then the auto-reflex kicks in) …
(she didn’t say anything in reply)
Guy: (insistent) So, where do you live?
Girl: Halls.
(looks away)
Guy: Which hall?
Girl: (looking at her friends for help) Ah…this is my stop.
(starts to make a show of gathering her plastic bags while avoiding eye contact with the guy)
Guy: (not to be dissuaded) What’s all that for? Is that your daily shopping or what?
Girl: It’s for a week. And some are for friends.
(looks away)
Guy: So what are you into? Alcohol? Drugs?
Girl: Nothing.
(gathers her shopping bags and gets up, the halls stop is there)

Heh. It was funny how that guy was going on like that. I figured he
didn’t start the conversation on the right foot, but he was also the
annoying type and he couldn’t afford to be that without scoring high in
the looks department. But I reckon it’s the “Malaysian accent” thing
that did him in. I heard the girls bagging him while walking into the
halls. I didn’t know them though, they’re from a different hall, but
that conversation sure was funny. Heh.

I just got a package from Daniel [geocities.com]. Seeing as to how Singapore is one of the SARS affected countries [moh.gov.sg], I took appropriate safety measures before opening the envelope. Haha! Just kidding.

It’s a Revolver Worldwide magazine. That’s Jenna Jameson on the
cover. I found the Nirvana article very interesting and I particularly
enjoyed the stoner ads at the back. Heh. Thanks for the birthday gift
