Perspectives
“I’m not sure if its easy to hole on 3-MeO-PCP by itself. It seems like you need some sort of potentiator, maybe a smidgen of psychedelics. A lot of weed seemed to really do the trick though.”

Effects
Aggregated from 16 single-substance Erowid and 15 Bluelight experience reports; 31 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.
Rows resting on fewer than 20 reports show a count (“3 of 7”) instead of a bar. Why 20?

Also reported in combinations. In the 31 3-MeO-PCP reports where another drug was taken too, 5 (16.1%) mention hospital, emergency services or an overdose, 0 (0.0%) a seizure and 3 (9.7%) psychosis. In the 16 single-substance reports: 4, 0 and 0. These are not in the figures above: they cannot be put down to 3-MeO-PCP alone, and a mention is not always something that happened to the writer.

I live in a part of the world, where there is virtually no black market for drugs.... It is an small town in the arctics only connected to the surrounding world by airplanes and ships. There simply are no roads out of here Anyway, the only thing that can be obtained here is hashish and I am not a fan of that.
About me: A lot of past experience with every kind of drug, in particular dissociatives and psychedelics. My favorites are LSD, 2C-E and MXE. MXE in particular ended up being my all time favorite; it seemed to reverse a painful bout of depression I'd been in, and was somehow sedating, stimulating, and functional all at...
This is quite the amazing compound. The following is a collection and summary of experiences I've had with 3-MeO-PCP over the past few months. It's a bit of a novel.
The Insectoid Sex Circus and Other Odd Tales I had a spontaneous opportunity to try 3-MeO-PCP over the weekend. Since the amount of personal reports about this peculiar substance seem fairly limited, I decided to submit mine.
3-MeO-PCP and the Window of Transcendence - Retrospective The first time I experienced 3-MeO-PCP I had been experimenting with ketamine intranasally and I was intrigued by this analogue of what was historically known as angel dust (PCP) and the anecdotal reports that it was generating.
My doses were properly weighed out and volumetric dosing was used for accurate and easier sublingual. 3-MeO-PCP is _NOT_ a chemical to be exploring with if you do not have the proper methods of measurement.
[Erowid Note: Two samples of powder (even of the same chemical) with equivalent volumes won't necessarily weigh the same. For this reason, eyeballing is an inaccurate and potentially dangerous method of measuring, particularly for substances that are active in very small amounts.

The skies were gray above and cold winds swept through preceding occasional rain showers. Eerily cold for early August. [Immediate disclaimer-the dose reported for this report is excessive.

I am not sure what it is with NMDA antagonists and dreams. Do dreams have something to do with the NMDA receptor? DXM brings about similar experiences, although it seems to warp and bend the dreams a bit. This was very clear and literal exploration of pure…
Wake up, take my morning shower, snort approximately 5mg of 3-MeO-PCP and get ready for my 9 am class. I arrive on campus, I snort approximately 10mg more of 3-MeO-PCP and proceed to my Environmental Science & Human Interactions class. Since this was only the…

Well interesting discovery. I’m not sure if its easy to hole on 3-MeO-PCP by itself. It seems like you need some sort of potentiator, maybe a smidgen of psychedelics. A lot of weed seemed to really do the trick though. From what I’ve heard pushing doses with…
