Another risk factor with substances such as this, is that weighing out such small quantities requires the use of sensitive electronic scales.

Whilst these are way less expensive than previously, they are still a fair investment and many young people especially those still live at the family home or even in a shared house where not all sharers are drug users (such as their University accomodation) are wary of having such a device at home – it gets them judged as a heavy user or even a dealer.

Also not everybody knows how to correctly use such a scale, and/or to check its calibration. Ironically many schools seem to have discouraged science education to this level during the early 1990s (just after I left) as they feared they were “teaching kids how to do drugs”. Plus as this substance is cheap and available, there is also less incentive to conserve supplies and that can (and does) lead to an even higher overdose risk.

This is a report on the site of a 44 year old married female, with previous drug experience having a near miss with the substance at a a high dose, and warnings about the other similar chemicals with these dosage levels.

I avoided buying scales cause they were like £15 cheapest, so I decided I couldn’t be bothered and weigh it by eye. I learned as someone else said on the web it’s better to pay out for some scales than pay with your life.

The original post said something along the lines of “If any of you are stupid enough to be thinking of taking AMT, my son died yesterday from taking it think of your parents you have left behind crying etc”

She probably did it while in shock/grief and then had second thoughts about it after hence why she edited her posts later. I know we have our trolls every now and then but I think on this occasion I don’t see any problem with giving her the benefit of the doubt. I would still like to know more about it though.

I also checked the news feeds but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. But on the other hand we do often get the drug bashers come on here with their smack talk. But they don’t normally make a habit of censoring their own posts. That’s what I find odd.

You know every drug & alcohol related death isn’t reported but? Just another idiot/statistic in others eyes.

I am aware of that but given AMT is legal (I hope it’s still legal otherwise I look a bit of a tit) and up until now nobody has died on it in the UK you would have thought it would be jumped on by the media as the next evil substance that’ll wipe out a generation of kids if we don’t control its distribution, i.e. make it illegal.

P.s. To the OP if you read this, I apologise if I appear insensitive. If you have indeed lost a son I am sorry to hear this. You have my condolences. I don’t particularly support the use of this chemical, nor have I tried it myself. However I believe as General Lighting and The Log have said harm reduction and knowledge of safe use are effective in reducing the likelihood of such scenarios. Simply telling people not to do it does not and never will work.
