My first encounter with MDA occurred in an unexpected fashion. I was presented with slightly brown crystals with the claim that “ye it's ‘just some brown molly’ y’know” and I figured that it is indeed MDMA with a ~70% purity. So one time when I was about to meet up with a friend of mine to catch up on the things in life, I took about 100mg of this compound and put it into my coffee, expecting a very mild and relaxing, social molly high. What happened was the following:

T+00:00
At around 16:00 I finish drinking my cup and I notice the bitter flavor towards the end. We're 3 people walking around town and discussing what's happened to us in life.

T+00:20
I feel slightly weird, if it were indeed MDMA I would have definitely felt it by now. Instead I don't know if this is just a placebo effect or not.

T+00:30
Still nothing. I think that it's indeed really weak and perhaps not stored properly and that I'm not going to get anything out of this. Boy was I wrong.

T+00:40
I feel slightly stimulated, perhaps it's from the coffee, not even a hint of the mellow MDMA rush. We're still talking and conversation runs smoothly, there's no trouble getting along and we're being exhaustive in our descriptions and living through old memories together in a very fun fashion.

T+01:00
So this is supposed to be the MDMA peak beginning, I really don't think much of it. There's no euphoria, no jaw tension, no nothing. I do notice that I'm talking a lot more and becoming more dominant in the conversation.

T+01:20
We're sitting on a bench, still talking and suddenly while explaining certain views I had on religion I start forgetting what I'm talking about. I'm getting overwhelmed by some really weird and heavy, dissociating feeling. It reminds me of previous psychedelic phenethylamine experiences I've had, but I was expecting the empathogenic MDMA. Essentially it started to hit me without me knowing about it and without expecting it, as though I were dosed without my knowledge. Usually when this kind of thing happens there's a certain amount of mind-fuck and confusion going on.

T+01:30
I notice that my pulse is getting faster, I look around and everything seems blurry. We're in a park in the center of the city and I'm tripping ballz unpredicted, luckily there aren't many people around. Everything looks like it's underwater and wobbling. As if there is some mystical energy constantly dissipating into the atmosphere. The heavy stimulating phenethylamine feeling is becoming more pronounced. I ask my friend “what the hell did you give me?” He doesn't think much of it and doesn't know. My breathing is getting heavier and it's like I'm getting twisted and smothered on the inside. My jaw begins living a life of its own and it's trying to escape from me.

T+01:50
I am becoming very excited and overwhelmed to the point where there is no point in talking to me. I am somewhat inadequate, constantly losing my train of thought. This experience feels very much like LSD or even ketamine, it's just as confusing and the rush is very similar, only more metallic? and phenethylamine-like in nature.

T+02:00
This is where it peaks. I grab some water, sit down, breathe deeply and try to relax and give in to the experience. Everything is blurry, it's difficult to see. I am experiencing a rush similar to MDMA but it's not the overwhelming and light, full-body euphoria, instead it's very deep and mystical, dissolving my ideas of who I am and what everything is and instead shifting my focus towards finding out what is really important in this world. A very humbling experience and truly psychedelic. Jaw tension is becoming more pronounced and more annoying. The surfaces of everything, people's faces, the grass, tiles, all look like they are artificial drawings laid for me to see, this is the “face-mask effect” everyone notes with this compound, and it is exactly this effect which helps me realize that I've in fact taken the MDA that I knew we had in store.

T+02:20
We're walking around again and talking. The experience comes and goes in waves, very pronounced and noticeable ones. It picks up slowly, peaks and then slowly descends back into me being almost normal and unaffected again, with every wave lasting about 30 minutes and each subsequent one becoming weaker. It is however extremely strong at this point and I can't help myself and just shout at some random people walking by “These candies are great!!” Luckily nobody noticed anything suspicious.

T+03:00
This is kind of too much for me. This is not a disinhibiting, light and social MDMA high, I am full-blown tripping and experiencing ego-death. My friend keeps giving me these weird looks, obviously I'm not surprised as this is generally unacceptable, even according to my standards. We decide to part our ways and continue some other time while I wait for this thing to wear off. I walk around with my other friend, we smoke some weed which has no effect on me, perhaps a very slight mellowing out.

T+06:00
For 4 hours this keeps coming on and off, it is getting literally maddening as I've never experienced this from a drug. I have now gone through approximately 10 waves of subsiding intensity, yet so strong that they show no signs of ever stopping. I keep taking sips of water and smoking weed to absolutely no avail.

T+08:00
It's somewhat getting better now. Still sitting around talking, drinking water and smoking weed.

T+09:00
It seems like it has stopped but I'm worn out and tired. Having such an unexpected and intense experience last so late into the day was definitely not my plan. I get tired quickly and have a low tolerance for sleeplessness and partying.

T+13:00
I easily stuff myself with food without any issues. Fall asleep with slight difficulty but feeling pretty nice and fuzzy.

T+next day
I woke up feeling a little drained, but nothing too shocking. I feel good throughout the next few days with nothing too interesting to speak of.

This is a very peculiar compound. A true psychedelic that goes completely against what the pharmacological data about it claims. It is supposed to be far more dopaminergic than MDMA, and yet it kept me stunned, dissociated and experiencing a psychedelic experience. The negative sides I would say are that it isn't at all pleasant and euphoric, the feeling it produces is way too heavy to be able to enjoy it in a social setting or a party. I couldn't think straight on this stuff, nor could I act in such a way. The jaw tension is pretty annoying and distracting. The duration of action along with the many strong waves are maddening and exhausting, so perhaps I would need a smaller dose. This compound certainly does possess mind-expanding properties and triggers immense moments of introspection, with a unique mystical experience.
