Quick info
DOM, DOI and DOB are synthetically produced mescaline and amphetamine derivatives. They belong to the group of psychedelics.
At the beginning, typical effects of amphetamine unfold, such as increased alertness, accelerated pulse, slight euphoria, increased self-confidence and urge to talk. Afterwards, the effect changes: one often feels a strong urge to move, sensory perception, feelings and empathy are heightened, colours are perceived more distinctly. With DOB and DOI, coloured, superimposed, pulsating patterns are perceived. This effect is weaker with DOM.
Onset of effects
Theonset ofeffects is relatively late compared to mescaline and LSD. The first effects appear after about 1 hour, and it can take up to about 3 hours for the full noise to develop.
Duration of action (strongly dose-dependent!)
DOM: approx. 10-20 hours
DOI: approx. 16-30 hours
DOB: approx. 18-30 hours
Appearances
As felts (blotters) or in liquid form. DOM/DOI/DOB are rarely sold as "synthetic mescaline" or declared as LSD in the form of a felt.
Swallowed
DOM: approx. 3-10 mg
DOI: approx. 1-3 mg
DOB: approx. 0.2-3 mg
Since the effect of DOM/DOI/DOB comes on late, the danger of overdosing by refilling is particularly great. The long duration of action poses a psychological burden. Confusion or anxiety is common, especially at high doses. Some DOB users report a burning or pressure sensation in the bladder. At high doses, temporary paralysis, inability to communicate or insensitivity to pain (caution: risk of injury and accidents) may occur. Teeth grinding and strain on the cardiovascular system are also possible.
Long-term risks
Due to the long and intense effects, use - especially frequent use - carries the risk of a loss of reality, which can manifest itself in schizophrenic traits and anxiety states. The consumption of DOM/DOI/DOB can trigger latent (hidden) psychoses.
LSD analogues are substances that are chemically very similar to LSD and can have comparable effects. Some of them have been known for a long time (e.g. ALD52, ETH-LAD, AL-LAD, PRO-LAD etc.) and have been studied pharmacologically as well as psychopharmacologically, at least in part. Others are newer "creations" (e.g. the derivatives 1P-LSD,1B-LSD, 1cP-LSD, 1V-LSDetc.), for which only few or no data are available. Certain LSD analogues can (still) be legally produced, traded and consumed in some countries, which is the main reason for their distribution.
Most LSD analogues are naturally different from LSD in their effect and/or potency (e.g. ETH-LAD, AL-LAD, LSZ etc.). In contrast, the so-called 1-acylated LSD compounds (e.g. 1P-LSD, 1V-LSD, 1B-LSD, ALD-52, etc.) are presumed, on the basis of pharmacological studies, to convert into LSD in the body (they function as so-called prodrugs) and thus have a comparable psychoactive effect to LSD.
In the case of prodrugs of LSD and LSD analogues, it has not been conclusively clarified whether, in addition to their psychoactive effect, they can produce other pharmacological effects. How potent these prodrugs are compared to the resulting substance (e.g., 1P-LSD to LSD), and to what extent a delay in onset of action occurs in each case, may be substance-dependent and cannot be generalized. Therefore, it is important to approach the dose/effect carefully to avoid overdoses.
If you or someone else needs urgent help after taking drugs or alcohol, call an ambulance on 144. Tell the emergency responders everything you know.
