Experience:β-Phenylethylamine (Phenethylamine / PEA)
This is a trip report, and below is all my collected thoughts on PEA. Don't trip based on just this, G. Also, I didn't document time because it meant literally nothing to me. I want you to read this so you don't do the same dumb shit I did.
Trip Report:
Sex: Male
Weight: 90.117777763kg
Age (at the time): 18
Dosage: Fifteen grams in 2 fluid ounces of water all at once.
Other substances: Knowing myself, I was probably smoking dab a few hours before this and was probably smoking cigarettes during the trip (at least until I couldn't).
Note: I had not eaten for a whole day. I typed some shit while trippin', but most of it had to be made sense of and put into my weird ass story, you feel?
I felt nothing for a while. Maybe 10+ minutes (and this is weird because my 1.6-3 gram doses normally kick in in less than 5). Eventually I got the familiar, tingling sensation in my legs (which was way stronger than ever before, even though this is the weakest point of my high), and I could feel a small increase in my heart rate. Then, I can say that it struck me like a fucking freight train, and I immediately felt myself sink 10 feet into my mattress, felt my chest pound once, and felt the blood rush to every part of my body. What felt like a second later, my face warmed, and it felt like my body was turning to sand and water and more sand. I remember thinking that my soul was 'dispersing.' It was like feeling an entire room's worth of sensations at once from what I convinced myself must be a third person perspective. For a moment, I felt like I could grasp sanity, and every time my heart beat, this entire sequence repeated again. Every moment that I was aware of my consciousness, it seemed like the world around me slipped farther out. Every moment where I wasn't, I don't remember much (my buddy says I managed to send him an incoherent text message, this I have no recollection of. Dropping my phone, I do remember). The tingling reached my lateral and deltoid area and seemed to intensify there. What sense I had left kept catching myself forgetting to breathe, or breathing my lungs full and not letting any air out. Sometimes it felt like I could not quite fill my lungs to the top with air. Almost no noises escaped me at this stage except for lots of breathing.
At some point I began to hear my heartbeat and it shook my body, making a sounded like a dull and muffled thud. I too began to spaz uncontrollably at this point, mostly in the head and neck area (predominantly the trapezius and deltoid muscles) and these constant twitches (and sometimes full on spaz attacks) lasted for the duration of the trip. The areas where I twitched felt the most euphoric, and they usually did so to the beat of the music I was listening to. The twitching would also move around periodically. Around here, my body began to enter a state of what I now define as absolute euphoria. I have poured fours into my X sprite on a 556 on a Tuesday, but nothing compares to the inner peace I felt here. In my best description, though definitely odd, it felt like the most powerful single orgasm possible while also spanning multiple hours. I would agree makes sense, since your body produces trace amounts of Phenylethylamine (PEA) when experience love and physical pleasure (obviously, for the purpose of a 'happy chemical' secretogaue, never expending such large doses as 400+mg, hence the idea and adoption of supplementation with PEA).
At this point my throat constantly felt dry. I'd drink tons of water for the next few hours, hardly having the ability to walk to my sink (about 6 feet away and through one door). I'm not sure if I drank myself sick, literally, or of there is perhaps a major toxicity in association with large β-phenethylamine doses. I couldn't warn myself of this with my head so high in the clouds, though. After the nausea subsided, it did return infrequently in small bursts, never as intense nor accompanied by vomit again. Vomiting did not seem to affect the duration of the high. As I was on an empty stomach, and I think that at this point it must have been around 2 or more hours into the high, so I had surely digested it all. I continued to embrace the ecstatic feeling of floating and loved the pounding inside my body. The muscle spams also continued. Standing up left me dizzy and hardly oriented.
A convenient number to remember, doses of 1g/10kg of bodyweight will cause inevitable vomiting. It only took 0.5g/kg to make me hurl some nights. The buildup to expulsion is usually obvious, although the vomiting is incredibly violent. At least in my experience.
