The No More Than limit for methanol in pharmaceuticals is 3000 ("The maximum allowable limit (NMT) for methanol as a residual solvent in pharmaceuticals is typically set at 3000 ppm (parts per million) according to regulatory guidelines.

SR-17020 via TBKYellow

A separate chemist has continued the Scripps Research / Laura Bohn series with a new analog called SR-17020.

Here’s the structure + molecular weight:

Any theories on how this one might perform compared to SR-17018 and SR-14968 (in vitro or in vivo)?

Reverse tolerance with MGM-15 — how it works.

I originally typed this as a response to someone this past winter and have subsequently shared it with many others through comments. It’s about time I make an actual thread to reach even more people. 😀

Reverse tolerance:

If you take the same LOW dose of MGM-15 consistently you build a reverse tolerance to MGM-15. The sweet spot for me is 30mg 3x per day. If you can enjoy it at even less, that is great.

Kratom alkaloids (and synthetics birthed by Kratom alks) when used in a proficient manner will produce reverse tolerance, which has been documented that “less is more” in the Kratom community, of which I have been a part of for just as long, for over a decade (~15 yrs).

The way reverse tolerance works is, there is a sweet spot when dosing these partial agonist kratom based alkaloids, where if one is to take low to moderate frequent doses, they will experience reverse tolerance where the same dose will feel as good or even better than it did when first beginning to use the substance for a stretch, and while experiencing such it is easy to drop one’s dose lower or move up into the moderate zone then back down in a couple of days painlessly as long as one stays within said sweet spot which I believe is 20 - 50mg per dose 3x per day — anything more than that and I begin to feel serious diminishing returns (as do others as I have observed here on Reddit and in Discord an Telegram groups since last summer) as I do when taking erratic doses also.

Too high and/or too erratic and forward tolerance dominates quickly as with traditional opioids but the bastard with these partials is — there is a ceiling effect unlike traditional opiods, so pleasurable effects totally plateau and begin to feel like weak sauce as you can’t keep getting higher and higher… until your respiratory system shuts down like you can with heroin, fentanyl and other traditional opioids… which is why they are amazing also and are saving lives.

Scientific Mechanisms Behind Reverse Tolerance

  1. Metabolic Sensitization (Enzyme Induction)

• MGM-15 is processed by liver enzymes (primarily CYP3A4).

• Steady low-moderate use upregulates these enzymes over 1-4 weeks.

• Your body becomes more efficient at maintaining active metabolites, delivering more potency per mg.

  1. Receptor-Level Sensitization

• As a partial agonist with G-protein bias, MGM-15 doesn't cause heavy receptor internalization/downregulation like full agonists.

• Instead, consistent exposure can increase receptor responsiveness (better G-protein coupling, more efficient signaling with less ligand).

• Result: Stronger euphoria, analgesia, and mood lift over time.

  1. Dopamine/Reward Pathway Adaptation

• MGM-15 produces clean dopamine release without overwhelming sedation.

• With steady use, the reward system becomes more sensitive to this release—effects feel more rewarding and pronounced.

  1. The Sweet Spot

• Reverse tolerance thrives on low-to-moderate doses with daily consistency.

• Too high or too erratic = forward tolerance dominates quickly.

• 20mg - 50mg 3x per day works best for most but if you’re able to go lower ex: 5mg - 10mg 3x per day and achieve very desirable effects, then that is your sweet spot.

Typical timeline:

• Days 1-7: Effects normal or slightly building.

• Weeks 2-6: Noticeable strengthening—same dose hits harder, legs extend.

• Months+: Peak sensitivity—one could even lower dose and feel better than early days.

Note: This is isn’t meant to be dosage advice to be followed without first discussing it with your physician. Please always discuss dose changes with your physician and take my ramblings with a grain of salt of course.

**MGMPf White Fire 5, X4, Di-Malate, Di-Fumarate, Off White ISO, Sparkling Yellow REVIEW!**

Pf came through with some serious heat, yet again! Packaging was perfect, shipping was lightning fast, and it’s a great line up of products.

The X4, which is a very finely ground white crystalline form, is probably my favorite of the bunch. It’s an absolute banger — it hits hard and has very long legs once protonated with citric or malic acid. The buzz is beautiful dreamy euphoric bliss. It’s super pure stuff that clocks in at 99% on the COA. It just absolutely rocks. The body high is intense, and I sleep so well coming down off this batch. It totally melts away insomnia. It also melts away tension and stress during busy days.

White Fire 5, which is a white powder, is also straight gas. It’s not as heavy as the X4 imo — it gives me more of an energetic feel early on and boy do I enjoy it. It’s got great legs and just produces a wonderful headspace for me. Calm, happy, focused — in wonderland mentally. Beautiful head buzz and body buzz. I find myself dosing this often; I just dosed some earlier in the afternoon and plan to dose X4 tonight. The WF5 is perfect for brightening one’s day if feeling down and out or a bit off. I love the White Fire line and can’t wait for WF6!

Di-Malate & Di-Fumarate are both light yellow colored dense powders and both feel very similar to me. I’m pretty sure the chemist took the same light yellow freebase powder and protonated a portion with Di-Malate and another portion with Di-Fumarate, which is great because it’s a super solid batch. I could be wrong tho, as the Di-Fumarate is even lighter yellow but I think protonation process w fumarate lightened it more than the malic. Either way, they’re both super smooth and much more water soluble than regular ISO salt. I thoroughly enjoy them. To me they feel equipotent, and they’re both bangers. They come on quick and hard and last forever because more of the MGM-15 is making it to your receptors due to their increased bioavailability over regular ISO salt and especially over freebase that hasn’t been protonated before dosing.

Honestly, the Di-Malate wrecked me the first time I dosed it because I didn’t realize just how dense it is and I didn’t use a scale to weigh it out. I’m not sure how much I dosed, but I was nodding hard for hours. I topped it off later with some Di-Fumarate when I began to come down and it was time for my evening dose — started nodding hard again and slept like an infant that night.

They are at the top of my list!

The Off White ISO Salt batch I had honestly isn’t my favorite powder ever. It doesn’t have much punch to it like the other varieties do. It will certainly work in a pinch and produce fairly desirable effects, but the other varieties I’ve discussed above are much better. With that being said, I saw someone here in this sub say they enjoyed the Off White ISO more than the White Fire 5, so to each their own.

Sparkling Yellow / Orange — I finally got around to trying this one and it's solid mid-spectrum stuff leaning pretty heavy. It’s got that warm dense body melt that builds into a heavy dreamy sedation — perfect for nighttime wind down when you just want to melt into the couch. It's not as bright or energetic as the White Fire 5 and not quite the euphoric rocket ship that the X4 is, but it puts you in a deep relaxed state without even trying. Overall a strong performer from Pf that sits right in that middle to heavy zone for me.

MGM Alkz Salt Bae, Rick James Freebase, Cotton Candy ISO Salt, Blue Magic ISO Salt REVIEW!

MGMAlkz dot shop (not dot com) out of Florida caught my interest recently, about a month ago, when someone came into the sub and made a thread about MGMAlkz’s premiere product “Salt Bae” which caught my eye, and when I visited their site I couldn’t help but notice that it looks very similar to StoutAlkz website and the company name is super similar so I emailed Stout and asked him if he is affiliated with them to which he told me ONLY in the sense that they used the same web designer (though the MGMAlkz team re-designed much of it on their own — this is disputed by the MGMAlkz team whom says that they took some things they liked from stout’s page and designed the page themselves) and that he stout supplies them with their flavored varieties, otherwise he has nothing to do with their day to day operations, they are their own brand.

On that note I decided to check out their Salt Bae and Rick James Freebase varieties along with two of the flavored varieties, Blue(berry) Magic and Cotton Candy and I’m super pleased that I did!

~ Rick James Freebase ~ is great stuff. Nice and off white in color and dissolves well with citric acid in h20 to unlock the freebase’s full potential (see my protonation tek at the top of the sub!)

It comes on strong and really hits the spot at around the hour mark for me and gives me a warm fuzzy blanket feeling that lasts for hours but doesn’t give me any mental fog like some batches do, and that’s straight ace!

~ ISO Salt BAE ~

This right here is my jam! It’s the best in the lineup in my opinion. Fluffy white salt that comes up quick, hits ALL the right spots simultaneously and has legs for days. I really can’t say enough good things about this one. It’s just a solid solid salt that begins with a nice blissful sense of energy that lingers for a while before fading fully into that old warm blanket feel that’s so ever persistently there in the background.

~ Cotton Candy ISO Salt ~

Solid batch of M that tastes amazing, a total throwback flavor, love the cotton candy!! Quick come up, great legs, warm fuzzy bliss.

Lovely time!

~ Blue(berry) Magic ~

Another real solid batch of M that tastes amazing, I might like it more than the cotton candy I think!! Feels a bit stronger than the cotton candy. Has some serious legs on it also.

Awesome time!

I also sampled their MIT which is very good. 👍

Have a fantastic night all, hope you enjoyed the review.

MGMAlkz is highly recommended!

u/OGBaronthon — 13 days ago

It’s been a minute since I’ve checked in with Stout so I bought a few different items from the big homie to test and review. If you’re new to the whole MGM-15 scene and have never heard of him before, Stout Alkz is one of the OG retailers of MGM-15, months before any of the big 7oh guys got into selling MGM-15. He helped bring MGM-15 to the scene, back when you could count the number of MGM vendors on one hand.

Stout was the first person I purchased MGM-15 from last July when I decided to use it alongside 7oh due to the much longer half life of MGM-15 so that I didn’t keep waking up in the middle of the night needing to dose.

That specific July batch from stout was a banger, and I fell in love with MGM!

In the time since then stout has grown his small business and as of this month is introducing a NEW website, stoutalkz dot net which will be dedicated to MGM-15, MIT, and other kratom based alkaloids while his original site Stoutalkz dot com will focus on peptides and other such body and mind hacks!

There’s been some confusion about another website mgmalkz dot com. Apparently there’s a rumor going around that this is Stout’s website and that he’s behind the company but this is not the case. Stout supplies them with some of their powder varieties and their website is based off of Stout’s brother’s code but MGM Alkz is their own company and Stout has nothing to do with their day to day operations or anything outside of supplying them with some of their powder varieties. I emailed him and inquired about this out of curiosity because when I saw the site I thought maybe he was behind the company too, because of the design.

Okay, now let’s get into the current product line, which is fantastic!

{ Off White ISO Salt }

I am big on my salts so I tested this batch first and it is a real treat! It came on fast and I could feel that it was going to be banger — it was a warm glow that began in my face as my pupils began to constrict & eyelids began to feel a tad bit heavy and a big blissful smile spread across my face as that warm glow spread throughout my entire body simultaneously. “Absolutely this is a great batch” was my initial thought and sure enough I had a wonderful day dosing this powder thrice throughout it. It had me itching myself which I don’t experience with every single batch from vendors — that itch that feels amazing to scratch.

{ MITragynine 91.2% total Alkz (salt) }

This might be the best batch of MIT I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing before. I don’t buy MIT often and the MIT I have had in the past was nothing like this salt based MIT. It is good stuff. I generally dose a bit of 7oh in between my MGM-15 doses so what I did was cut my 7oh doses in half and added 40 - 50mg MIT in place, a smaller sized dose of MIT for me, as I was aiming for it to act as a bit of a pick me up and it absolutely did.

You see, the first time I tried it I actually weighed out 100mg MIT and kept my 7oh dose about the same as usual and that made me feel dehydrated and lazy and I reminded myself that MIT in small doses gives great energy as I know from my days of taking plain leaf which I took for the first time a decade and a half ago.

Once I lowered the dose down to 40mg alongside 40mg 7oh it made for a beautiful booster dose with an awesome pick me up.

I had the same exact dose before I began to type this review. 😁

{ Cereal Sorcery & Strawberry Lemonade flavored Salt Based varieties (salts) }

I’m impressed with the Cereal flavored MGM-15, it tastes amazing and hits hard despite the flavoring. This one felt more on the slower end of the spectrum it literally came on slow, or a bit slower than the non flavored off white salt, but not super slow, it was a relaxed come up and the whole duration of effects I would describe as relaxed. This is great for pain mgmt and watching movies on the couch, just straight lounge powder. 😆 Whereas the non flavored started off with more of a uppity rush which faded into calm and straight sedation over time / hrs, this stuff was calm sedation straight out the gate and it’s a lovely nighttime powder! Just straight feel good late night “Let’s watch ‘American Graffiti’ (late night classic) and pop popcorn” at 11:30pm, while it’s really only 8pm type vibes.

The strawberry variety is good also. I LOVE the flavor of this one. She comes on quick and settles quick into what I’d call a milder sedation than either the cereal and non flavored. More of a middle of the road spectrum powder. It felt like an any time of day powder, an afternoon powder, whether busy or nonchalant. The powder is kind of chunky and needed to be broke down but it breaks down easily enough. The smell of fresh strawberries is killer. I really like this one a lot. It has an extremely solid duration combined with solid effects!

{ MDX-01 v3 Freebase }

Last but certainly not least is MDX v3 which is a deuterated version of the chemical MGM-15. This stuff is built for straight up longevity and it certainly delivers. Because it’s in freebase form I took it and salted it myself with citric acid each time I experimented with this one of course. My first impression of it is that it’s a hitter, it’s just as good or better than the off white salt, and comes on in much of the same way. 😀 You see, if you’re expecting this to be crazy potent far beyond a normal 90 - 99% freebase, that’s not exactly what this is. It’s strong for sure but it feels like MGM as it is MGM. However, where this beauty shines is in its extended duration of peak and come down effects and more-so it’s extended half life duration which is what deuteration is all about.

The duration of peak effects is noticeable to a certain degree, but it’s the half life that was markedly extended as I took a final dose of the day and went to bed and when I got up I didn’t dose right away but instead went for a total of 15 hours since my previous nights dose without breaking sweat and could have kept going but I wanted to dose, lol!

I personally enjoy dosing three times per day as I have mentioned but there’s a good portion of those in the community who prefer to dose twice per day and this powder is for them.

This powder is for anyone looking to stretch the time between doses to the max that they possibly can.

It’s ESPECIALLY good for tapering down from MGM-15 or for anyone looking to break their crazy 7-OH habit and switch to something with a super long and stable half life and for those looking to go from 7-OH > MGM-15 > MIT > plain leaf > sober.

Alright to wrap this up I’d like to give mad props to StoutAlkz for offering a killer lineup!! Keep it up man!

I hope everyone enjoyed the review.

Have a great night and upcoming week, fam!

TM has a new batch of 98% crystalline and also a budget batch of 63% MGM-15 and I bought a gram of each to test out and the new crystalline batch is nothing short of spectacular! It’s just as good or better than the original 99% crystalline batch and it’s one of the best batches currently on the market. It has beautiful euphoria that just kinda wraps you up nice and warm like you’re being wrapped up into a fluffy blanket, and the legs on it are sexy as hell. As you can see in the photos it differs from the original batch in appearance. It it is less dense and more fluffy crystalline powder that kind of looks like kif. It’s basically snow white in color whereas the original stuff is a bit off white. It sparkles like crazy. It’s a beautiful thing to behold, that’s for sure! And it hits even better than it looks as aforementioned.

The budget variety is what it is. I’m not nearly as fond of it as the crystalline but if you want to easily taper your dose down some this will help!

Otherwise so long as you adjust the dose on it to make it equivalent to dosing a 100% MGM powder, it works good.

Say you want to dose 30mg of the 63% powder, you just do this simple equation:

30 / 0.63 = 47.619mg

48mg of the budget variety will give you a solid 30mg dose. Or just dose 30mg as is and see how you like it, it might hit fine for you but that’s how you adjust it properly.

It has its own unique feel to it, I enjoy it and get decent euphoria from it when I adjust the dose. I’d say it’s pretty sleepy stuff if you enjoy that! Great stuff for evening time, that’s for sure.

TM responded quickly to my order request and they had my pack shipped within a couple hours without a single hiccup! The packaging itself and the ship label was good and discrete. 😀

Both powders are in freebase form by the way!
