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.
Swallowed:
DOM: approx. 3-10 mg
DOI: approx. 1-3 mg
DOB: approx. 0.2-3 mg
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.
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.
Plan your trip ahead because of the long duration of action.
Drink enough water during the trip.
As amphetamine derivatives, DOM/DOI/DOB can be particularly draining because of their long duration of action. Light vitamin-rich food, fruits, vegetable juices, vitamins and minerals promote a soft landing after the trip has subsided and can weaken a hangover.
Use DOM/DOI/DOB only well prepared in a stress-free environment (no party drugs!), in which you feel comfortable. Preferably with experienced friends you trust (favorable setting).
Take DOM/DOI/DOB only if you feel in good mental and physical condition (favorable set).
You should not be afraid, but have enough respect for the effect.
Do not consume DOM/DOI/DOB on a full stomach, but eat something light before or even during the high to avoid nausea and other unpleasant side effects.
Dose low. Don't throw it if it doesn't have the same effect!
In delicate moments during the trip: let yourself go, try not to fight the effect. A trip sitter can help you.
In case of panic attacks or horror trips: see General Information under Emergency.
Dextrose can help against circulatory problems.
Avoid roads and other "dangerous" places, your orientation may be impaired.
Psychedelic trips should remain exceptional experiences and should not be experienced more than once a month.
After the trip, allow yourself plenty of rest and recovery, at least the day after, to be able to process the experience.
People with mental problems or illnesses, people taking neuroleptics and people with circulatory and heart problems should refrain from consuming LSD.
Mixed use of these potent substances should be avoided at all costs.
Refrain from mixed use with lithium. There is an increased risk of psychosis and stroke.
Do not consume tramadol if you use psychedelic substances. Tramadol lowers the threshold for strokes, while psychedelic substances can trigger them in susceptible individuals.
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.
It could save lives.
