- I don't know if all the questions have been answered in regards to cloud 9,
- the alleged e substitute. I hardly have all the answers.. But what I do know,
- is the following. Friday night two friends of mine tried cloud 9. One of them
- was intoxicated from drinking about 6 or 7 beers. The other was sober. The
- capsules that cloud 9 come in are huge. They swallowed the capsules and waited.
- Within an hour they were both extremely sleepy, yet felt an urge to chat with
- people at the same time. It was not in any way comparable to e, according to
- both of them. Oh well.... Sorry about the bandwidth if you guys already know
- all this.

- I don't think Clound 9 is GHB... it's a whole lot of organic material.
- Ground up herbs and such... it didn't taste salty like GHB...

- A friend of mine has purchased and tried Cloud-9. I read the brocure
- it's distributers mail out on request, and it's very vague and unspecific,
- and it tries to make this herbal placebo sound like a good replacement
- for MDMA. Not a chance...
-
- He bought the caplets from a health food store, for around $10 a piece.
- He said it produced a definate warmth sensation, but it was very minimal,
- and that a cup of coffe was way more psychoactive. He said it was a total
- waste of money, and he wouldn't take it in the future even if it was free.
- It's a placebo "sugar-pill".
-
- At that price, there's far more worthwhile herbs and synthetics to spend
- my money on.

- to a rave and I felt real active and excited. The second time I sat
- around my house and felt little more than awake. The people who make it
- say that you have to get out and be real active for the stuff to work.
- (It supposedly feeds off chemicals already in your body, like adrenaline
- and stuff) Thats mainly what I've found. If anyone has any more direct
- questions, just email me and I answer all of em.

- BTW, I was talking to someone about it through email and I seemed to have

- There was that front page story in the Colorado Daily you might
- (should) have read about two weeks ago...If I remember correctly, of
- the four or so people who were willing to share their xperiences with
- Cloud 9 bought at Nootrophia or Ground Zer0 in Boulder, one person
- just felt sick after taking one or two capsules, one person reported
- empathogen-like effects after taking it for three days continuously,
- one person didn't notice anything . . . .
-
- I had been wanting to take it after first hearing about it On The
- Hill, and then right after that it's populartity exploded wheen it
- started showing up on rave flyers at Wax Trax. Soon after that was
- when the Colorado Daily front-page article appeared, and the police
- said they were going to do their tests on it and I'm sure the Daily
- will publish what the plice want to say about it (if that's worth
- anything). Odds are they'll just say "it's a bunch of natural stuff
- which you could mostly get at Alfalfa's or Wild Oats market and so any
- effects that compare to those of ecstacy are largely psychosomatic."
- I would suppose it would be extremely dissappointing to get one's
- hopes up for this shit, especially anyone who's had any experience
- with any of the designer drugs it's supposed to mirror (but mild
- enough to be legal), like ecstacy. TSS. I think the interest in
- Cloud 9 is from the same group of people who approach lsd with that "i
- would but i want to do it naturally, so i'll do shrooms instead of acid"
- mindset, just replace ecstacy with acid and Cloud 9 with shrooms.
- But, of course, the parallel is flimsy at best, since not only or lsd
- and shrooms fairly different, but ecstacy and Cloud 9 are not even on
- tthe same level of intensity with each other.
-
- Here's a reprint of Nootrophia's flyer on Cloud 9, for what it's
- worth. It's vague, promotional, meant to sell the stuff, probably
- doing mmore harm than good:
-
- NOOTROPHIA PRESENTS CLOUD 9
- The Next Level of Conciousness
-
- o Cloud 9 is a natural supplement, which has a dramatic stimulating

- will improve the scene, [rave scene, if it can still be called
- that, I guess] and good health of all Americans.
-
- o Cloud 9 is currently being sold in the US, UK, France, Australia,
- and sooon Tokyo. Nootrophia is proud to offer a new way to aprty

-
- As I mailed kotobi@unm.edu, Cloud 9 is total and complete CRAP!
-
- I saw an ad for it in Sin and I thought it would be cool to try out,
- since I was running a smart bar in the city at that time. I called the info
- line and left my name and phone number as requested and recieved a return phone
- call at about 8:00 p.m. the following day. I talked to a very nice lady on
- the phone and she described her product and how they were looking to find a
- distributor for our area, because they didn't have one yet. They offered to
- sell us a 100 count bottle for $5 a piece, the 'wholesale' price, I guess. I
- thought to myself, "Damn! That's a lot of money!" But we said it was too
- expensive and declined her offer.
- I receieved another call back with another offer for a 10 count bottle
- for $30 + shipping. Some friends and I accepted and recieved the bottle three
- days later. We decided to give it a try at the Halloween rave. Well, one friend
- got completely sick, flushed and generally irratated. Another got nothing at
- all, no 'increases energy, mild euphoria, increased sexual response,' NOTHING!
- I took it and was milded irratated, kinda like a niacin flush, and a bit
- sick.
- Later that week, I opened up one of the capsules I had left to see
- what was in it. It looked and smelled EXACTLY like the ephedra that Durk &
- andy use in their 'Thermogen Tea' formula. The powder was a fuzzy brown and
- smelled vaguely spicey.
- My guess is all it is is EPHEDRA and maybe some ginseng or kava kava.
- It's not worth $15-$20 a pop, especially when they recommend taking TWO pills.
- I suggest locating some Mini Thins and taking some of those before you take
- 'the legal alternative to MDMA.' Its better and a hell of a lot cheaper! Don't
- buy the sale pitch that its a cot effective alternative to Ecstasy. It's a
- complete RIP-OFF! You're probably better off buying from the shadey E-dealer
- than you are from the Cloud 9 peddler. At least you might wind up with
- something good from the dealer!!
-
- Another alternative I've found that works is 'Happy Camper' available
- from any GNC store at the mall. It comes in a nice happy yellow,green and red
- bottle of 60. It's got kava kava, gotu kola nut, siberian ginseng, guarana?
- and other natural stimulants that really work! Take about two or three and if
- like it share with yer friends! A couple of those, a smart drink with
- l-phenylalanine and you'll be better off than taking that crap Cloud 9 stuff.
-
- Spread the word about this product: SAY NO TO CLOUD 9 !!!

- Well, I did it with my friends last thursday. Boy, it was something.
- It's not at all like ecstasy though. I tried x once and supposedly it
- was more heroin than x so I guess I can't really say.
-
- I took one dose, which is two capsules of cloud 9. I also took one
- capsule of nirvana-6 which is supposed to boost/enhance the effects. I
- was very skeptical after reading a post here that described a cup of
- coffee being stronger. That is not altogether true, at least with me.
- Later we smoked some sticks of tea and so this is cloud 9 together with
- the effects of THC.
-
- We did as prescribed, taking it on an empty stomach. I had lunch at
- around one o'clock and took the pill at around six that evening. After
- about an hour I started to feel something. First, I could feel a
- strange weirdness in my stomach. Not butterflies, but kind of like the
- feeling you get when you dose on acid and the first tremors of it affect
- your stomach. The whole time I was on cloud 9 I also felt a nervous
- tension I also get with acid. Except this was very low key. On acid,
- my whole body tenses; my jaw and head especially. Cloud 9 did not do
- that but gave a very similar tension emanating from my stomach at a very
- low volume.
-
- If I tilted my head back so I could look straight up at the sky and then
- slowly face forward at a normal angle, my whole scalp tingled. Every
- time I ran my fingers through my hair it plowed a path of tingling
- sensations in my scalp. My other friends felt the same. I liked that a
- lot. That was about the only physical sensation I noticed, that and my
- stomach feeling strange. Later my stomach started to hurt a little, but
- as soon as I started to talk again it went away. Later, the tingles,
- which lasted about two hours, went away and then at one point my heart
- seemed to beat with irregularity. It felt like my heart was being
- overtaxed, kind of like heartburn but no burning sensation.
-
- My friend took two doses, six capsules in all, and he felt all those
- effects in the first half-hour. We were having a carnival at our school
- and he felt sick after we rode the pirate ship which goes up and down
- really high. I had the greatest time on it though, lifting my hands up
- every time we went to the top. My friend though declined from riding
- anymore after that.
-
- We all had strange periods where our stomachs would start to hurt. But
- if you keep talking, we found that it went away. You know, get your
- mind off it then all will be better.
-
- In terms of being an ecstasy substitue, nay I say. I did feel like
- doing things instead of just sitting around and stuff but everyone else
- seemed really beat. And I guess it could feel like the after effects of
- an all nighter with coffee and vivarin. I am not going to try this
- again. I don't think it's worth $20. In terms of mood, I felt good
- however, but that's because I like anything that alters my brain even a
- little bit. But if you're expecting some drastic things to happen,
- you'll be disappointed. It does give you a light, tense feeling for
- about seven hours.
-
- I told my friends who weren't on it about the tingling scalp and they
- just laughed saying it's not worth it. If you like your scalp to
- tingle, then this is the drug ( I mean vitamins) for you.

- According to my experiences and friends, CLOUD-9 is as good
- as a placebo.
- Nothing came on. Absolutely nothing. Not even caffeine-like
- effects. Not even a mild stimulation. These are the results of
- 3-4 times of taking Cloud-9 myself and independent friends.
- All pills came from the same Cloud-9 sealed bottle.

- Up in Redding, they are selling this new psychoactive drug

- it's kicking in full force right now, as I am writing this.
- I must say, it's very similar to "Ecstasy, MDMA", in a sense
- that I don't feel any anger or hostility towards any one now.
- I realized, only reason I flame on the net and say bad things
- to people, is because I am so frustrated from being psychologically
- alone. It's a very mild, dreamy feeling, kind of like coke, but
- with out the guilt, and with out the angst.

- Ok, the package came today. What a brochure! "Ancient Pathways, Future
- Horizons", "The Next Level of Consciousness", "Isocentric Imaginations",
- "geez, what a load of shit.
-
- On the Cloud 9 package: Ingredients: MA Haung, Ephedra, Dosage 1-2 on an

-
- On the Nirvana+ package: 500mg L-Glutamine, 500mg L-Glutamic Acid,
- 500mg L-Phenylalanine, 250mg L-Caffiena, Dosage 1/day or 2 w/Cloud 9
-
- Yohimbix 8 is pure Yohimbe Liquid
-
- Looks like N+ is an amino cocktail with Caffine and Could 9 is just an
- Ephedrine buzz, a major one. I'll be experimenting soon.
-
- Remember kids: 1oz Yohimbix 8 = $80
- Cloud 9 = $10/capsule
- Nirvana+ = $2/capsule
-
- I spent $40 for 4 Cloud 9, and got 2 N+ for "free". If you took about

- yes, i have done cloud 9 a few times.
-
- the first time i took two hits. my stomach was empty, as per my freind
- who
- sold them to me... after about an hour and a half i was feeling
- nothing..
- so i drank an un-pasturised fruit drink (8 oz) and started my hour
- drive home. After a few minutes.. maybe 15, i started to get waves of
- what i would describe as euphoric. very similar to Extasy, yes - only
- not as intense
- and not as often. i was in this state for a few hours, as i was tired
- and ready to sleep (4 am).
-
- I had fun... i can't remember the experience of my second trip, sorry.
-
- i like the idea that all the ingredients are from the plant world...
-
- let's hear some more re-collections
- please....
-
- peacefully, patrick

- I tried it the other night at a rave. I paid $20 for 10 tablets, and
- their recommended dosage is 5. I ate all 10, 5 then 5 half hour later.
- It definately did something, but not comparable to the real thing. Mild
- euphoria (if that's not an oxymoron) for 4-6 hours, and I had a fair
- amount of energy come 7am (I ate them around 11 or so), but that might
- have been contact high from the rave. Hope this helps.

- I did some a while back, and didn't get a thing out of it, nothing like
- true ecstacy. I believe the only active ingredient is ephedrine. My
- girlfriend got a big bump out of the same dose that I took, but I
- attribute that to a low tolerance for ephedrine-related stimulants (I'm a
- heavy caffeine user, she is not).

- Sorry. I have tried Herbal Ecstacy and it didn't do ANYTHING. If I was lying

- I LOVE Herbal Ecstacy, as well as Herbal Bliss. We've sold hundreds
- of doses of each in my shop, and many people get upset when we run
- out!
-
- It gives me a warm glow inside, lots of energy, a clear head, and I
- can smoke ounces of bud and keep getting higher instead of falling
- asleep.
-
- There's always a few people that don't seem to feel it as much, but
- most of our customers love it!
-
- Ciao,

- Had some last night. It worked better the second time because i had and
- empty stomach. Generally it just gives you a feeling of contentedness and
- you chill out for a few hours. It's a lot cheaper if you buy larger
- dosages and, of course, HeX (as i like to call it) is _legal_.

- This post will mainly be of interest to US readers familiar
- with the degraded state of broadcast journalism (and in
- particular the phenomenon known as "tabloid television").
- The following quotes are from an August 3rd broadcast of Hard
- Copy. I watched it in hopes of getting a few belly-laughs
- from the promised expose' on herbal extasy. I was not
- disappointed.
-
- "...the mind-bending drug called Extasy that's got everybody
- who takes it wanting more, yet any kid can buy it over
- the counter."
-
- "From coast-to-coast, a new form of Extasy is being sold
- over the counter at your local store."
-
- "Most say its just as mind-bending" as MDMA!
-
- In addition, some pony-tailed intellectual (I was laughing
- too hard to catch his credentials) warns sternly of the
- dangers of putting something in your body "that will take
- you to a place you've never been before". Herbal X???
-
- At the risk of belaboring the obvious, it's my conclusion
- that this brand of journalism is interested in but one thing --
- putting a flashy product together fast and selling it to an
- audience of unquestioning, slack-jawed suckers.
-
- (Phew). Rant over. Thanks for listening.

- Yes, i do, it is a scam as far as i am concerned. I took 5 tablets,
- almost half of a gallon of water, on a totally empty stomach, and
- maybe, *MAYBE*, i got a little perkier from it. mostly all i did was
- urinate alot.
- there's my take on that topic..

-
- Well, I tried herbal E last night. I had it and I was curious to see
- what its effects are. Here is the scoop:
-
- -I took 5 tabs (one dose) with plenty of water, and waited.
-
- -Forty minutes later, I thought I was beginning to feel funny, but I wasn't
- sure if this was a placebo effect.
-
- -An hour later, I decided that I actually was feeling a little funny (emphsis
- on "little"!). I waited for a stronger feeling.
-
- -An hour and a half later I was still waiting.
-
- -Two hours later I was still waiting.
-
- To cut it short, nothing much ever happened.
- It wasn't worth the $10.
