I think it occupies the spot in my toolbox that LSD does for most psychedelic enthusiasts.
I think I even referred to it as "phenethylamine acid" to my fiance, only DOC and 25C-NBOMe have ever received such a description from me.
Holy shit man! Mescaline and LSD are fantastic together on their own, and then you throw in a 2C-B like quality too? And the DOC lasts for 24 hours? Would you say the stimulation is mescaline or LSD like? Or stronger, more like DOM?
I actually tried a tester dose of IIRC 250ug DOC many years back. I definitely felt it and I had a very energetic day of deep cleaning my kitchen, but then it just seemed to never wear off---for like days.
2g of coca feeling overwhelming must've been some heady shit, my highest dose of coca tea was 125g. It led to some later ruckus as far as compulsively dosing a bunch of ephedra sinica and psilocybin containing fungi, a very long but fun day being Portland's local weirdo goosestep powerwalking through town with nowhere to be and nothing to do. The stimulation of DOC reminded me more of LSD, whereas DOB and DOM reminded me more of mescaline. DOC's stimulation is less intense than either of the other two, and DOC feels easier to "steer" a certain direction, if that makes sense to the other psychedelic users out there. As far as the drug wearing off, I'd argue that DOx's in general have a kind of asymptotic arc of tapering down but never quite leaving, it reminds me a lot of other more impactful psychedelics in that way. I came back from the trip but I'm never quite the same due to the way I grew over the experience, you know?
Also have some preferred sedatives set aside as the "tripstopper", so that the residual stimulation doesn't get to you too bad, that's what I do at least. Hit the etizolam nasal sprayer a couple times and chill out.
DOB's beautiful, I've used it between 750ug to 4.5mg and it's amazing the whole way around. My heart begins to act a fool ~4.5mg though, so that dose is a bit much for me. I'd class it as a psychedelic that's also VERY much a stimulant and empathogen, personally. The same empathogenic bent I feel from MDA, MDMA and 6-APB was perfectly layered on top of a mescaline-like psychedelic. Mescaline's already lovey to begin with, the fact that DOB, 2C-B and 25B-NBOH are even more empathogenic than mescaline makes me wonder if the 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromine substituted phenethylamines are onto something interesting here. I was awake for 3.5-4 full days, with 3 nights in between them, due to having dosed 3mg. I ate maybe twice over this period, could only sleep for a few hours at a time, DOB officially joined the short list of "drugs that fuck up my ability to sleep at will", alongside NEP, bupropion, and 5-MeO-DiPT. I can sleep on amphetamine, meth, molly, anything else, just not those four.
DOB can take so many forms it's almost elusive to describe, laying back in my bed holding my fiance, watching the popcorn ceiling paint some of the most intensely vivid visuals I've ever seen in my life, of a village on a hill resembling a living and breathing oil painting, come to mind. Over time each of the buildings began to manifest a face, limbs, etc. and then they were marching around one another. I watched this village fall into fascism, rearise through the ashes, it was a strange and extended scene to have hallucinated. At one point over this trip, it was stimulating and emotionally empathogenic but not super eventful until I smoked some MDMB-4en-PINACA (inadvisable) and added at least 36-48 hours to the trip. Smoking this was in pursuit of a "spice breakthrough", and it led to one for sure. I had fallen to my knees on the porch where
@Felidaez and I were smoking, and I saw briefly as a rainbow-ishly colorful lightning bolt cracked through my vision, that we were surrounded by copies of the Green Man of European mythology, in white robes with black triangles on his face. It reminded me heavily of the film The Void (2016).
DOB overall's an insanely versatile and unique drug, equally as empathogenic and emotionally opening as it is psychedelic and unpredictable. It's highly stimulating, and feels a
lot like DOM took
It's so hard to characterize, but I like where you're going with it. I also think that it's a lovely material. I was too spooked to try it for years, but I've revisited it several times now. Always lovely. I think it occupies the spot in my toolbox that LSD does for most psychedelic enthusiasts.
