up on the hill where they do do the boogie
2 am - swallowed 2.5 mg DOB. it was a pale yellow liquid. the taste was sort of alcoholesque. i have the standard 'o my, what have i done to myself' feeling now that i have actually swallowed it. i also seem to always get a huge body shiver the moment after i dose any psychedelic.
2:30 - perhaps the first alerts? my balance is a bit off. i also seem to have a strange energy in my arms and chest. i also have a familliar cottonmouth feeling that i get from psychs.
2:45 - definite alerts, but i can't really put my finger on what they are. at this point i would compare it to lsd. i have an urge to get up and walk around. i can tell that my note-taking will not last much longer.
3:00 - starting to buzz rather heavily. i am getting scatter-brained, it is hard for me to focus on any one task. getting hints of tracers out of the corner of my eyes.
3:15 definately tripping now. more notes later?
well, i write the rest of this at about 8 pm. i have at this point returned to nearly baseline, except for a clear buzz.
at about 4 am i went to +4. i am left with inadequate words to properly describe the experience. as my mind left my body i entered a state of euphoria that was like a 2 hour orgasm, except that an orgasm was a mere shell of this total euphoria. my mind left my body and i became one with the universe.
the visuals were kaliedescopic in nature, continuously morphing into different forms. i saw fractal-type patterns everywhere. the visuals were astoundingly complex and clear, and i could zoom in and out of the visuals with ease.
at 4:10 i made an attempt to write some notes in a notepad i had on hand. the first note is labelled '4:10 - severe time distortion'. the next page says '4:10 - time still distorted', so that may tell you just how distorted time actually felt. the peak experience felt like it took a year, instead of about 2.5 hours.
the only analogy i can think of to characterize it is how hellen keller described her dreams. she called them 'visions of ineffable beauty'. these progressed until about 6:30, where i began a slow descent back to baseline.
i fell asleep for about 15 minutes at +7, which was disorienting to say the least, as i had absolutely no idea where i was when i woke up. it was actually more like that 15 minutes was just missing from my life.
i had visuals up until about 3 PM, and a pretty heavy buzz untill i fell asleep around +18 (midnight). I woke up around 2 AM, but i felt more tired then anything else.
this is definately a substance that i would try again. i attribute the shorter then normal duration to the fact that i have an extremely fast metabolism. i feel extremely lucky to have had the chance to try this wonderful substance.
the only side effect that i really suffered from was slight vasoconstriction, which was easily solved by walking around, and some slight muscle spasms, which i tend to get on any psychedelic.

I'm really excited about trying DOB, thanks for the report michael, as with any trip that transcends to a higher level, it is difficult to put into words. Isn't that a great place when ideas of beauty, compassion, love, begin to manifest themselves as visuals. Ahh, bliss...
 
wow! definitely liked what you had to say. i'm supposing, if you lived in my area we'd be friends! you sound interesting and smart...well, that sounds pretty basic compared to what you said..anyway, thanks for sharing your experience.
 
Nice report, i'm glad you had such a great time on this double charcoal filtered viking urine.
 
Glad you had a good experience michael.
I must say, its nice to read trip reports about chemical which arent reviewed all that much... ie: DOB
Thanks for the report
 
Great report :)
DOB.. thats one you don't hear too much about! I would love to read more.
Thanks for posting .
 
Wow I am surpised one can even find DOB. I guess you have to know a chemist, or be one ;)
 
I do not want to discredit your experience or trip report but what you have described sounds nothing like what I have experienced with DOB. First you say you definitely felt something within 45 minutes of taking it. It took my friends and I at least two hours before we even felt anything at all. You than go on to say your trip began a slow decent to baseline only 4.5 hours after taking it. The duration of DOB has been noted as being at least 18 to 24 hours long. This was also true of my experience with the drug. I did not experience anything like a two-hour orgasm like you suggest. My experience was more heavy and trippy like I was floating, and had some sort of tunnal vision going on. I also felt kind of nauseous during the trip. Maybe what you thought was DOB was actually something else, it sounds that way to me. Read the following references
here
First perception of drug action occurred as late as 2-4 hours after oral doses of DOB in 4 of 13 subjects (2). A pharmacokinetic study (4) showed that DOB (or a metabolite) began to concentrate in the brain only 3 hours after an oral dose. DOB is said (1) to have a longer duration, 12-24 hours, than LSD, 8-12 hours. Both of these characteristics of DOB match those of the drug ingested in Dr. Lake and associates' case --slow onset (3 hours) and a long recovery time (18-24 hours)- as well as or better than do those of LSD
 
headstrong, please note that every experience is different. I have taken DOB on NUMEROUS occasions, varying dosage, and depending on what i ate that day or other factors which i dont know, my come up has varied from 30 minutes to THREE HOURS. I thought at that point nothing was going to happen, then WHAM. All experiences are not the same. I experienced what michael called a two-hour orgasm on the comedown not the comeup. Also:
I am always nauseous on the comeup- nobody else that i tripped with ever got nauseous. Do you realize that some people react differently with different metabolisms, etc? What he took was DOB.. I'm quite sure of that. How many times have YOU taken it?
I will be posting a trip report on DOB in the future..

i don't want to discredit your experiences at all but i can guarantee you not only did i have DOB but that my experience with it matches the literature.
i would point out also my noted fast metabolism.
 
Bah! I wish I knew chemistry better. Anyone wanna teach me? I can your apprentice. I basic chemistry from high school and have taken Chemistry of Materials I in college. :)
 
Good report! A little short on the detail, but as mentioned above, it is sometimes very hard to describe a psychedelic experience. Not that it should keep one from trying, of course.
From what I've gleaned from reading other peoples' DOB reports, it seems that this material is just one of those that will take a person farther than most psychedelics. I can't wait until I run across it in the future.
 
Micheal have you taken 2C-B??? I'd like to see how the experience would differ seeing that 2C-B and DOB have the exact same structure except DOB is an amphetamine and nexus is a phen.
Borog - in a nutshell - Start with mescaline.. add another carbon to make it an amphetamine.. now you have TMA.. then move the methoxy groups on the phenyl ring from 3,4,5 to 2,4,5.. now you have TMA-2 which is much more potent than TMA.. Then replace the 4th position with bromine and BAM! (as emeril says).. you got DOB..
 
^^^^As a lover of 2C-B, it would greatly interest me to see any comparisons with DOB. Any other people who have experience with DOB also have experience with 2C-B? headstrong? randycaver?

Doesn't sound that hard. Now I just have to find some mescaline and a lab I can work in. hehe. That's always the hard part.
