Bromo-Dragonfly(?): A Mild First Time Experience

A little background...
I'm about 5'11, 130 lbs (very lean), and have had multiple experiences with mushrooms, salvia, Ecstasy, and most of all pot.
11 days prior to this trip I had rolled (E)
I had been smoking pot as usual

A friend of mine called me one night and said he could get acid. I had been wanting to experiment with LSD for a long time, but I was always hesitant because of rumors of fake acid in Miami. Some freinds of mine had bought bum acid a few months earlier. But his connect assured him it was real. He basically had me on speakerphone with his buddy while he got the blotters, a single hit for himself, and a double for me.
After a few days my friend told me he had taken his, and believed it not to be LSD but Bromo-Dragonfly. I had only hardly heard of BrDf once before, and I had never heard of anyone doing it.
The stamps were average size, a square about the size of a pencil eraser head, with a yellow sun outlined in red with a red heart in the center on one side, and a navy blue back. My friends had a yellow back.
After some research online, and sifting thru forums he discovered that other people had been getting the same stamps, and were having similar trips, and all believed it was bromo. I did my own research, as I dont like taking anything I'm not sure of, and decided to go ahead with the trip.
My friend had told me his trip was very mild, uncomfortable, and 'not worth it'. I believed that because of his historically higher tolerance to hallucinogens I would have a better experience. So I went ahead.

The actual trip is nothing note-worthy. Id had much more intense trips before, but this one was unique. I split the stamp in half with a friend, so we each had a single dose, like my other friend. It took both of us a full 4 hours to feel any effects at all. This is the time-table.
6:40PM- ingest. 9:40PM- Mild nausea, fatigue, and restlessness all over my body. 10:40PM- I wake up from a short nap I took to settle my stomach, and upon opening my cell phone in the pitch black room, I was completely blinded with light, and I almost dropped my phone. It was at this point I would say I begun 'tripping'.
I went into the bathroom to collect myself, and drain my lizard, and everything was just different. It had the spacial-distortion feel of a mushroom trip, but the energy of a roll come up, accompanied by an extremely pleasent floaty body high. In the bathroom the tiles bent and waved a little bit, nothing drastic, but I still enjoyed it alot.
Around hour 5 my girlfriend had to go home, so we hopped in a sober friends car and took off. The car ride was amazing. I had the feeling that there was no car around me, and I was sitting in the air, floating around at 55mph. Contrast in light and dark was very nice, colors and lights were a little visually pleasing as well.
At about hour 6, all visuals had ceased, with the exception of some spacial distortion. The body high remained, and I smoked some pot to try and kick the visuals back in. The effects were moderate at best, but pleasing.
I decided to call it a night at about 1:30AM, almost 7 hours after ingestion.
I sat in bed alternating between Adult Swim and Stankervision for the next 4 hours(television was extremely nice throughout the whole trip). Occasionally Id turn off the TV and try to fall asleep, but I found my body too restless, I could still feel it in me. Id estimate I fell asleep somewhere in the neighborhood of 5:15-5:45AM.

I woke up later that morning (today) at about 10:30AM, and for the small ammount of sleep I got I felt surprisingly well rested. I could feel no after effects, no hangover, no burnt out feeling, completely normal.

Id say I was very pleased with the trip, and so was my friend who took the other half. I'm sure that if I would have taken the full stamp myself I would have had much more intense and longer lasting visuals, but the uncomfortable restlessness could remain longer as well. I plan in the next month or so to obtain another double hit, same as this, but to take the whole thing myself, and see what some of the more intense effects of this weird chemical are. I will certainly post a trip report next time as well, and let everyone know what the double dose is like.

All in all? If it really was bromo (which we're almost certain it is) than I personally suffered no ill side effects, and had a mild but lovely trip. My only complaints would be the long time frame of the experience, and of course, the restlessness. But I expected both things to begin with, so it wasn't an unpleasant suprise.

I really enjoyed myself, and look forward to the double dose.

The thread should be titled "suspected bromo-dragonfly".

There is no proof whatsoever that bromo-dragonfly has ever been put on blotters, except for the plain white blotter which was being sold in Sweden.
 
After about a month of internet research before ingesting the stamp, Ive found defenative evidence that (A) Other people have encountered this same stamp (B) They all describe a list of common effects, all of which specifically point towards bromo, not LSD, or DOB (C) I have seen threads on other forums, with pictures of the very same stamp I took, and it has been almost entirely agreed upon in the forum that it is indeed Bromo-DragonFLY

GRANTED: yes, there is no 100% proof. Yes, Ive also heard that BrDFLY was only released on white blotters, but dont u think someone could have printed something else on a plain white blotter??? Maybe a sun with a heart in the middle? (this is an honest question, Im not trying to be a smart -ass)

I am by no means testifying beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was indeed Bromo-DragonFLY... but all of the information I have, and the effects felt during my trip and two of my friend's trips (all on the same stamps), all points directly to bromo.
I am mearly trying to contibute to a very limited database of experiences with this chemical, and help out the drug community as much as possible by offering up my experience and my thoughts. If you're sceptic of it being BrDFLY, I dont blame you... too little is known about bromo to be sure. BUT I do fully believe based on the information Ive seen that it was indeed Bromo-DragonFLY. This is just what I think...
 
Oh and BTW, there has been much talk going around that it has been put on blotters besides the infamous white ones. A message on the Shroomery early wanring network says...

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/files/05-27/085389612-BrDF_drug_alert.gif

Notice in the first paragraph the line that says "It has even turned up on parties in the form of 'blotter' (small paper squares) which could be mistaken for, or misrepresented as, LSD."

I didnt write it, but I do trust the folks at the Shroomery, and I dont think they would post something in an early warning alert unless they were sure it was more than just a rumor. THIS is the first thing that hinted me to the possibility of bromo, as I thought before as well that bromo did not turn up on printed blotters. Yet again, the evidence would point to Bromo-DragonFLY.
 
I figured this was because of the Shroomery thread. I don't have access to the ODD forum, but I've read plenty of quotes from it. Here's what the person who started that thread had to say about it on another forum:

I'd like to apologize to everyone here and across the online community for the creation of that thread.

It was a mistake, seeing how it's developed.

Anyway, my only objection is your stating this "is" bromo-dragonfly. People are guessing what's on their blotters based on a tiny handful of reports from people who've taken verified bromo-dragonfly. There's not nearly enough data available on the effects to do that. It's much better to just call it "suspected fake acid" or something, rather than introduce possible myths into the meme-pool.

Just think: how many times a month does someone ask about whether their micro-dot was mescaline, or their ecstasy pill was heroin?

If I ever see the lab results of blotters from the US with prints on them, which have been tested and shown to contain it, then I'll be willing to believe in bromo-dragonfly blotters.

Like I said, I wasnt testifying that it WAS indeed BrDFLY, I mearly said that based on the information Ive seen, it would seem very possible that what I took was indeed bromo. This was all just IMO. The reason why I posted up a trip report on various forums is to see if anyone has any feedback that may help put a name on what I took. I was by no means stating that it was no-doubt bromo.
Honestly though, does it really seem that far out there that a chemical like BrDFLY hasnt since 1998 slowly spead thoughout the drug community?
Its been around for the better part of a decade, and it was distributed at one point on blotters, whats to stop it from happening again?
Im not trying to start an argument. Rather, Im trying to gain information for myself as well as others who might encouter this stamp.
Afterall, isnt that what forums like this are for?
 
If it took you 4 hours to feel *any* effects at all that sure sounds like bromo-dragonfly.

DOI and DOB can be felt after 1.5-2 hours, same with 5-meo-AMT.

Since we know bromo-dragonfly is going around on blotters, at least to some extent, I see no reason to question this report. It sounds right to me.

I've heard DOB generally has a comeup of about 3 hours on an empty stomache.
 
I think this is how the bromo frenzy is happening lately:

person A hears about this new drug Bromo-Dragonfly which is in a similar dose range as acid. person A tells person B. person B hears about this bunk acid and remember what person A said about that new drug. person B assumes it's Bromo-dragonfly and tells his friend person C then person C goes on to tell all his friends and the cycle gets started.
 
^ You know how I feel about the B-Dragonfly chatter going on these days, but if the user says he got the 'first' feelings of a comeup after 4 hours, (hes obviously not going to lie about something like the time, no point), I really don't know what else it could even be. Not even the smallest 5-MeO-AMT dose come-up's take that long on an empty stomach..
 
We have reports in PD of 2c-i taking 10 hours to hit people. DOB or DOI can certainly take 4 hours or so for you to feel effects, especially if the dose is low. All of this wild ass guessing what the drug is based on the effects is foolish, and will only breed misinformation.
 
I took it on a full stomach, and I have a historically low tollerance for halucingens, especially compaired to the friend I did it with, and it took both of us a full 4 hours to feel anything more than a little restlessness. I do keep in mind that it could have been a weak DOx or DOB, which is why I got another double dose today. I plan to take the whole thing in a few weeks and see what the more intense effects are like. Perhaps this will give us some new information with which we can pick our brains.
 
No matter how many more trials you do you can't identify a material by its subjective effects. If you want to know what it is getting it lab tested is the only way.

I myself have a post somewhere in PD where I reported a four hour wait to come up on 2C-B once, when it usually takes only one.

If I hadn't known with absolute certainty it was 2C-B, I might have thought it was something else.
 
Thats interesting... were any of the physical/psychological effects similar to what I described?
 
No, it seemed like an ordinary 2C-B trip except that I was really tired due to the late hour. At first, I thought it just wasn't going to work for whatever reason, then four hours later it hit out of nowhere. I don't think the experiences compare, I just thought my experience with unexpected onset timing might be relavent.
 
Someone needs to get this heart/sunshine blotter tested, it is showing up in all sorts of places, and no one is sure what it is, its the same blotter that ive been dropping weekly for the last couple months, i wrote a trip report on it a while back.
 
griz1988--- Does it take you ~4 hours to come up as well? How much different/same are the effects that you experience in comparison to the report listed from the same blotters? Are the blotters being sold as acid or Bromo-dFly? Oh yeah, and one more Q - I haven't seen these yet, I might see them around, but are they going for about the same as a regular blotter of acid ? more? less?

This may also help everyone else with some answers, but still nothing for 100% positive, until someone shells out $5-10 and sends in a dose for testing.
