I have a light history of psychedelic usage (LSD, DMT, 4-AcO-DMT, 4-HO-MiPT, 2C-E, 2C-C once each over 3 years in threshold or common dosages). Male born in 1992; I have average height and am a tad underweight.

First time for 5-MeO-MiPT. I know the identity of the material. I measured 5-6 mg on a milligram scale. This was written during the come down. My intention was to determine the usefulness of this material.

I ingested the substance before heading to a party (~8:00pm; T+0:00). I felt some nausea and dehydration still before arriving half an hour later. I thought it would be a good social drug with the purported effects being 'tactile, euphoric, and sexually interesting'. I was wrong. There was a clear high, but shortened attention span, and less ability to be social. No visual changes.
There was a clear high, but shortened attention span, and less ability to be social. No visual changes.
And the whole experience was more or less uniform in quality, except for a little less jitter later in the second half of the plateau.

The word disease comes from a lack of ease, dis-ease. This was tactile disease – a stimulated discomfort which made me want to move and touch myself without ever reaching satisfaction. I fiddled with my hands, grasped my neck to soothe it; I wanted to move around in every which way.

One of my friends at the party knew my state; the party was uninteresting because it was hard to be socially perceptive. We left for somewhere to dance.

It's was a stressful state, which brought rigidity to my muscle. Rigidity plus an insatiable tactile dis-ease lead me to discover a dance that's reminiscent of tectonics. It did not make me capable of dancing tectonics, I just found it more natural to move with wrist and elbow pivots. (That is, the wrist/elbow of each arm touch).

Dance, dance.

When I made it home, at the end of the night (~3:00am; T+7:00), I was still basically in plateau. As I was finally free to move in any way without social inhibitions, I nestled onto my floor. I twisted myself into ballerina-like contortions, which brought a fair ease to my tactile disease. I curled into beautiful balls. I stretched my aching legs.

At this moment, I realized that I had never well been taught the importance of moving the body, to listen to my body. I don't have the bodily mobility or range of motion that I should. A pain presents itself in order to move me – I should stretch and apply pressure to relieve it. And a ballet dancer's dance is like a visual recapitulated history of motion that yields so many human forms and ranges of motion.

I did not have a partner to experiment with sexually. I felt as though it would be nice, but I could not have performed well due to vasoconstriction (I did not become hard with touching myself a bit, which would normally do so). [See below for further thoughts]

After at least an hour of floor-meandering and slightly clouded pensiveness, I wanted to go to sleep but could not. I remained clearly high. I waited it out for a couple hours, ingested a DV of vitamin C and B vitamins, and eventually I facilitated the transition to sleep with 3 mg of melatonin (~7:00am; T+11:00).

I woke up just before 1:00pm (T+17:00) with a mild shortness of breath / tension in the lungs, and a milder high that has persisted, only slowly waning, through the day until now at midnight (T+28:00). I felt drained and not mentally sharp today. I will be avoiding all drugs right down to caffeine for 2 weeks in order to avoid stressing my body.

For this experience, I had intentionally not consumed any known tyramine rich foods.

I expected a lot more from this. It was not a particularly fun drug - it was stressful. It's a terrible drug that belongs to the class of pharmaceuticals which poison people. For me, it gives the body more mind than the brain, to speak loosely. It was not euphoric in the sense of pleasurable; my mind felt a clear high, but not clarity of mind. It came with a shortened attention span, less social ability, and a tactile disease.
