Title: MDMA and Methylone (bk-MDMA; M1) cross tolerance?
Post by: kottimi on November 09, 2012, 02:55 am
This past weekend I took some "MDA" which I now think was actually methylone. I noticed a sweet maple syrup-like smell when I was meting out doses which I had not read was a quality of MDA. After some additional digging around, I read that methylone has the maple syrup scent that I smelled, as well as the lack of psychedelic qualities that MDA is known for... so unless anyone has any anecdotal evidence for MDA smelling like maple, I'm gonna assume this is the substance I'm dealing with. :P

I really need to get my hands on a damn testing kit. Buying drugs on the street is so sketchy.

ANYWAY, all this back story aside, I took the "MDA"/methylone because I'd read it had no cross-tolerance with MDMA since I'm planning to roll at a show in late December. Now that I believe it was actually methylone, I've been trying to find info on whether or not there is cross tolerance between M1 and MDMA. I can't seem to get a clear answer on this, so I thought I'd crowdsource the info from the ever-so-knowledgable SR community!

So, does anyone know if there's cross-tolerance between M1 and MDMA?

depending on which precursor was used to synthesize it, most MDx substances have a sweet maple syrup/black licorice smell...

this comes from using safrole which comes from sassafras which is used as a flavoring for traditional root beer hence giving it a sweet smell...

i have read a report where a person took MDA from a trusted source and he said that it smelled like rotting carrots which oddly enough is also sweet smelling like maple syrup...

my experience with methylone is limited but from what i gather, it's like MDMA without the empathic "push" or urgency...

the psychedelic effects of MDA are actually quite subtle...it's more like tricks of shadow and lighting rather than full blown OEVs...like you think you see something there but in reality it's just patterns of light and dark...

as for cross-tolerance...i always space my rolls far enough apart that it's never an issue so i wouldn't know...

Any pics of the product?  How much did you consume?  How long did it last?

I don't see how there can't be at least some cross-tolerance between MDA and MDMA.

I've been asking on fellow SR people that use methylone the question "why do you use methylone when MDMA is so cheap on SR."  One person said that they can take methylone much more frequently than MDMA without as much of a problem building up tolerance.

In any case, even if you took MDMA the effect it will have on a late December roll is negligible if that.
