3-MeO-PCE is a strange and rare drug. It is a substance so rare that it has no street name. This is not the sort of drug that you just run into. For these reasons, my experience of this drug is very limited, although I have tried it around five times (which is five times more than most people I know).

For those who may not know, 3-MeO-PCE (3-Methoxyeticyclidine) is a stimulating dissociative which lasts around six hours. It is potent, with a threshold dose of just 1mg, and a standard dose of around 5–10mg. In some ways, it is similar to ketamine, such as how it dissociates you from your concept of self, but unlike ketamine, 3-MeO-PCE is stimulating. This means that, unless you take a significantly large amount, you will retain all movement.

My experiences with this drug have been strange and oftentimes confusing, but I do not believe they were a waste of time. And with that in mind, I have decided to write down a handful of lessons I have learned whilst using this unusual substance.

Let me make it clear that I am not condoning or supporting the use of 3-MeO-PCE. This is a dangerous drug. More harm reduction info can be found here.
