This will be a 25I-NBOMe TR with the emphasis on how the experience compared to a my two previous experiences with 25C-NBOMe. I may do another one in a few weeks for 25D-NBOMe as well.

After a two week tolerance break, I prepared for administration by getting breakfast and coffee out of the way and brushing my teeth and using the toothbrush to gently clean the area between the upper gum and cheek under the theory that a clean mucous membrane would pass the drug more efficiently. I then shoved the blotter up as high as I could get it and sat quietly without thinking about food to minimize saliva. Taking psykap's advice I also used my finger to push the blotter around to increase absorption by rubbing more of the drug off of the blotter and onto the lining of the mouth. Blotter was from a different vendor than the 25Cs from before. They were plain white paper each one with a yellow spot where the drug had been laid.

Set coming in was not ideal. Recently I'd been feeling a significant amount of anxiety over personal issues I won't bore you with. I'm also feeling more than a little anxiety over something I do - responsible use of psychedelic drugs and cannabis in the privacy of my own home - that the dominant culture strongly disapproves of and can potentially punish with shocking severity. Coming into a psychedelic experience unsettled like this can be a recipe for a stern lesson in humility, sometimes referred to as a bad trip.

30:00 First alert.

1:45 On 500µ of 25I I've achieved a +3 compared to +2½ with 800µ of 25C two weeks ago. Tolerance break, better blotter, better administration, not sure what's making the difference but blast off is like "Wheeeee".

2:00 No anxiety. I think a stiff dose of magic mushrooms at a time of self-doubt, guilt and anxiety could have potentially resulted in a negative experience. I'm happy to report a sense of calm and a pleasant experience so far.

2:30 This one feels very different from the 25C. On a low dose of 25C it was almost like being sober and mildly tripping at the same time my mind was so clear. The 25I experience is more dream like. It's like being awake in a dream. On the 25C I felt like a teenager at a Phish concert amped on something full of euphoria and dancing like a fool. Today I just want to lay in the sun and daydream. I put on some music and noted "no music enhancement". Later I decided there is music enhancement it's just different than the 25C. No muscle tension or speediness.

3:00 Nothing spectacular to report in visuals. I guess I just don't get visuals off NBOMes unless I go to three blotters. The five blotter trip reports are more interesting to read but I'm no JasperTheReckless. I'll start with one blotter. At this point on the 25C thoughts and ideas were streaming through my head. Not running wild just running. 25I is more introspective. Feelings and concepts are flowing more than words though my mind and at a much more pedestrian pace. I closed my eyes and focused on the music and now I understand the 25I effect on music. My imagination saw people and places and things described in the song effortlessly and spontaneously. I don't mean CEVs or hallucinations, I mean imagination. The 25I opened the daydream faucet and the music controlled the images flowing out like music controlling a iTunes visualizer. That word "dream" just keeps coming up.

4:00 Speaking of iTunes. I put on some music I loved in my youth with the iTunes classic visualizer and found my happy place. I was engrossed like the Rain Man watching Judge Wapner. If you haven't seen the iTunes classic visualizer lately and you are reading this forum, yeah, you need to check it out. It was so enjoyable I kept forgetting to breath. Literally breath-taking. Being April 20th I had to do my patriotic duty and celebrate with the sacred smoke so that was all the notes that I took.

Comparing my experiences with 25C and 25I:

25C - Clearer mind. More energy but not in a speedy way. Tons of euphoria. Would be great at a concert.

25I - More dream like. More introspective. Possibly more impaired. Better for a day off at home or outdoors in nature so you can kick back and daydream.

On both drugs, no body load speediness or anxiety and no appetite suppression.

Commentary: Not everyone will agree with this and maybe it's my preconceived notion. But I think the two NBOMes I've tried so far are not teaching drugs like LSD or mushrooms or mescaline. The classic psychedelics are not feel good party drugs. If you've not been living right those drugs may decide to kick your ass and show you what you've been doing wrong when all you wanted to do was have a good time on Friday night. They may just flip open those dark cupboards of your mind where all the monsters from under the bed and unresolved issues are stored that you had no plans on dealing with when you took the drug. The 25C and 25I I tested did not take me to any internal scary places and didn't provoke anxiety in me so there may be less of a potential for a unpleasant trip with these drugs. But that means there might not be any lessons to learned here.

If you are trying to know yourself better or become one with the cosmos or get closer to God, you should look elsewhere. These two drugs don't hit the God receptor if such a thing exists. But I think most of the people who read this forum are looking for a purely recreational experience and 25I and 25C seems to be just that. All of the fun, none of the mindfuck. Note my experiences are low doses and with proper spacing between trips. So, is this LSD perfected? Please read JasperTheReckless's trip report before you decide this stuff seems safe and throw caution to the wind and put a ten strip of these blotters in your mouth. It's all fun and games until the Grand Mal Seizure.

Thanks for adding to the pool of collective/subjective knowledge.

I tend to agree with your final assessment, as well.

I loved this analysis so much, I quoted you in a message I sent to my friend who is interested in psychedelics. Great report too, it is really interesting to see drugs with such a slight variation in chemical structure having a very noticeable difference in effects.
