Summary

T +00:00
On this day I planned to go trekking in the winter forest with friends. After trying 1.5 mg of DOC week before, that yielded almost no results, I decided that trying 3mg would be right, considering DOC probably is stimulating and I can do trekking in any state. So, in the morning I took it on empty stomach. My friends did not know I was taking something, they were drinking a little alchohol, and nobody seemed to notice I'm different.


T +01:40
I noticed first manifestations: slight confusion and tangled thoughts, a little brighter colors and sounds. During this time, I was in a car, and this was at moments not nice, but totally controllable and ok. I closed eyes and saw some traces of CEV like classic psychedelic pictures of circles and honeycombs. Like with 5-MEO-MIPT it was funny how they looked very archetypical from these "LSD" drawings. Sometimes, I was a little anxious, especially when these silhouettes started to look like alien lifeforms and insects. This was again similar to 5-MeO-MiPT trip. But I told myself: okay, this is just visuals, you might as well enjoy them, if they are unavoidable. So, I just watched, fearful, experiencing awe and disgust simultaneously. This was for a short time, though: visuals changed to colored sparks of dots, then some rotating transparent cubes, spheres and cylinders, but barely visible. This, in turn, was similar to my DOI trip, but then these things were much more noticable and looked/behaved like clockwork parts.

From now on, trip slowly started to become stronger, but pretty mild even at peak. I assume peak was somewhere at T +02:20-T+07:00. What I did and felt during this time?

After going from warm car to cold outdoor (-1 C°) I felt coldness, but after we started moving, it was very comfy and fun. We went through winter forest, handling my backpack and looking around at trees. Going was very easy, I felt strong stimulation. But in the begginning, I was kind of unsure what I need to do, like I'm expecting something and it is not happening. This diminished later, when we started to move at steady pace, and totally vanished when we stopped and had a lunch. Food was nice, not problem eating whatsoever, sandwitches and fruits tasty alike.

Usually, when I go trekking, I look down at the ground to avoid stumbling, but then I was not worriyng about this. I certainly enjoyed surrounding snowy landscape, trees covered with snow and lichens, creeks and colored freezed swamps. I did no see any OEV when going.

When peak started, it was really easy to go, because stimulation was obvious, but nothing unpleasant. I felt powerful and stong, easily going over any obstacles and snowdrifts, not paying much attention to them. Sometime in a few hours, I went into dark WC inside, and there on the walls I seen something like film with transparent circles that contained larged strokes and dots. This film floated on the walls slowly, while wood textures on walls themselfves were slightly breathing and glimmering. Absense of light in WC made my mood darker and "film noir"-like, but nothing menacing.

My hearing also become much better, I liked squaking of snow, crisping of rare birds and communication of fellow hikers. Speaking of which, I was not able to participate in it much, but certainly enjoyed listening to it. First 3-4 hours of our hike passed in an instant, also because nature surrounding us was stunning.

Also, I was able to operate gadgets: use film SLR camera for the first time in my life, and GPS in phone, although with some confusion.


T +07:00
I realized that trip i not as strong as it was before, and I'm able to speak and think clearer. Fellow hikers was starting to become tired, but I felt almost no tiredness.

T +11:00
We went home using car. In the warm conditions trip started to be more pronounced again, but very slightly. At this point I felt tiredness, but not much. We hiked over 20km, and I think I could be able to hike 10-20 more then.

When we got home, I still was not at baseline, because colors and sounds were echanced. We ate simple dinner, which was tasty (sure, after 20km trekking in the fresh air) and I tried to make sex with my GF, encountered some problems with erection and stopped. I also felt overheated when doing physical activity like sex or using blanket, and felt slight pain in back of the head. I think it may be related to vasoconstriction effect of DOC.

T +16:00
We went to sleep, but I was not able to after 20-30 even minutes and taking 3mg melatonin pill, which usually helps me a lot. So, I drank some port, browsed web a little, took one more 3mg melatonin, and then felt like I want to sleep.

T +18:00
I was able to sleep, not very well, but okay. Next day feeling pretty much ok, except maybe some remeniscent of hangover because of Port I did.

Summary
This was mild and nice trip in proper nature setting, no anxiety at all, no problems with eating. I was afraid need to hike and cold temp will be a problem, but it was not. My friend Mammoth was talking about how he was not able to sleep for a long time after DOC trip, but I think it depends if you are tired enough. I think that this psychedelic is good for people who tried short-acting ones, and now want something longer, but still not very harsh. The only problem I see is residual stimulation, good idea is to start early, "spend" it hiking etc, and have alchohol/benzos in hand for sleeping.

This trip was not stunning or spectacular, but I certainly enjoyed it and expect more from larger dosages. Next time taking DOC I will probably try 4mg and start even earlier in the morning.

Thanks for the report and the outlay!

This, my friends, is exactly what a trip report should look like. Heed this individuals example.

I've yet to try any DOxx chems, but my curisoity is growing fast and I feel it's now only a matter of time.

Thanks, my only wish I had english vocabulary to describe things more vividly ;-)
Expect reports about more intense experiences during this year, because I'm ready for them!

 

[SONN]

this is a beautifully written report. I applaud you!

Would you say that the Amphetamine qualities of the drug stood out a lot?

I've only done adderall in terms of amphetamines and I was wondering how you would compare the stimulation and overall energy drive to your other amphetamine experiences.

Compared to amphetamine, DOC stimulation was much less pronounced, without that rush of energy and jitterness, without electricity in the spine, without budy buzz electric impulses in hands I felt from 2C-C, without easy breathing from 5-MeO-MiPT. The only strong effect was that I was totally not tired from heavy trekking and could jump over 1 meter high tree trunks with backpack. Also note, from DOI body long was much stronger and unpleasant, but this in the hot summer, while this DOC experience was in the winter.

But I think I forgot to mention what I experienced in the evening. I felt pretty tired and sleepy, but still stimulated. This was pretty weird, mildly unpleasant.
