WHAT IS IT?
MDPV is 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (“MDPK”, “Bath Salts”).
It is a pure white to light-brown hygroscopic, clumpy powder with a slight odor.
It has been observed to rapidly degrade and change properties when exposed to air.
HOW IS IT USED?
MDPV is most often snorted. It can also be taken orally or by smoking, rectal or intravenous use.
It is reported to have a total duration of 2-3.5 hours, plateauing between 30-120 minutes.
WHAT IS THE DOSAGE?
Typical doses are 2-5mg (low), 5-10mg (moderate), 10+ mg (high)
It is active at 3–5 mg (half the size of a match head or less). This is nearly impossible to measure with the unaided eye.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS?
The duration appears to be very dose dependent.
The effects of MDPV are usually compared to amphetamines or other stimulants (euphoria, mood lift, elevation in heart rate).
After effects include elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, confusion, and stimulation (mental and physical) lasting from 6 to 8 hours, as well as mild depression due to dopamine depletion.
Taken in larger doses or for longer stretches MDPV seems to bring on powerful feelings of paranoia and depression.
BE CAREFUL!
Snorting has specific risks of HIV and Hep C transmission, so users shouldn't share straws.
Many users have reported obsessive redosing (fiending), and some didn't remember that they had taken more.
Let others know what you are doing and what your limits are, and watch out for each other.
High doses and long binges have brought on mental health problems similar to amphetamine psychosis, but much earlier.
Less Is More!
IS IT ADDICTIVE?
Seems like it but it's really new so we don't know HOW and WHY yet.
The comedown is pretty harsh and many users report feeling depressed, paranoid, and anxious afterwards, sometimes for days.
Users have reported a compulsive desire to continuously re-dose, even following onset of the unpleasant side effects.
That's the textbook definition of addiction.
LEGAL STATUS
It's been banned recently in many states. Things are changing rapidly, for current information, look into recent legislation in your state. It is not specifically illegal federally but could theoretically be illegal under the Analog Drug Act.
