I've seen someone do 1g over the course of a long evening but they were a seasoned user. That's the kind of dose that would send a average sized teenage girl to a hospital in convulsions. 4g over 4 days? It's not even about the tolerance at that point, by days 3/4 do you even have any serotonin left for it to be any fun?

you can sort of preload your body with serotonin "building blocks", so to speak. but anecdotally that process is not fast and mostly just mitigates the hangover. past the first several hours, i belive the effect would resemble more typical amphetamines.

given how typical "street" samples test with diy kits and at mail-in labs, it's not even unreasonable to suggest that might have actually been the case.
