Took
1.6 ± 0.2 mg DOM HCl yesterday, straight from the scale. Given I had previous experience from a
couple years ago with 5 mg of the substance and didn't seem sensitive, I didn't expect all that much to happen. But I was in for a pretty good trip. I'd say Shulgin ++ mostly, but with a decidedly mighty powerful introspective push. It reminded me a lot of how 2C-D can sometimes be in the 10 - 25 mg range. Honestly I think this low dosage range is not to be underestimated, neither for 2C-D, nor for DOM, and probably many other compounds. It's been many times now that I had extremely introspective experiences on rather low doses of psychedelics. Unfortunately, the bodyload was about as strong as I remember from the 5 mg. Maybe it is a good thing, because a friend of mine assured me it wouldn't get much worse in the higher dose range. But honestly I don't foresee myself going beyond 6 mg with my current sensitivity. The experience seemed biphasic in nature, for the first 4 h, there was a lot of self-criticism and beating myself up, as well as pleading for some changes that will have to be made, but will be hard for me. After that, it eased down, and most of the muscle tension in the upper body went away. It left me with an afterglow-type state (which would certainly be fully trippy on a fuller dose) for the next 5 h, when I went to sleep assisted by a GABAergic. I think it might have been possible without, but I'm surprisingly good at sleeping phens away. There was still muscle tension in the legs which I still feel today, but it did not feel as brutal. Today I feel like I see a lot of things clearer and have begun some of the steps that I pleaded myself to do.
PS: Of course dosing the DOM was a bit of a stupid decision, especially as I have
not fully integrated my latest 2C-B experience from a week ago yet. I'm currently running a bit from things, and trying to confront myself with them by the use of psychedelics. The DOM just looked so cute and innocent and I wanted to shake hands at the door step. I didn't expect it to actually walk in on me through the door, but in hindsight, it was pretty damn good. Thank you DOM. I take back that it is not a worthwhile compound. I just wish there was a version with the same might, duration and potency
without the bodyload.
My current psychedelic use is a bit rampant but right now I feel like it is helping. I'll
really have to step away for a bit now though.
PPS: I don't know what got into Shulgin for introducing this compound to Owsley et al., if he really did. It does seem like a worthwhile compound, but at least I don't feel like it is refined enough for it to be used by more than a few masochistic nerds. Then again, it might very well be that he and others didn't have as extreme bodyload on it as me. It does not feel poisonous, but certainly very uncomfortable.
