DOI - first time - A Space City Amphetamine

[bluedolphin]

First I should say this report is mostly intended for people with some psychedelic experience. I don't really have time to delve into each and every insight

2:00pm

I ingest 2mg of DOI by licking it off a credit card. Then I go on a few quick errands.

3:00pm

Back from my errands. First alerts? Maybe slightly. Feels like very early onset of a generic phenethlamine, maybe a bit amphetamine feeling but not pushy at all. I guess this was to be expected.

4:00pm

Not much difference. Got a decent body buzz going on now. Feels amphetamine/phenethylamine. I mean "amphetamine" because the energy flows throughout your whole body. I mean "phenethylamine" because, at least at this point, this is clearly not the God-Energy that certain higher order psyhedelics (LSD, mushrooms, 4-aco-mipt) can produce. Overall it feels very easy on the body and very easy on the mind. At this point I'd call it a plus one and a half. Not yet "psychedelic".

4:30pm

Okay, here come the visuals. First I noticed colors shifting on the walls. Orange and other pastel colors seem accentuated. Some of the colors will change and bleed into other colors. I checked for tracers, and noticed they were not typical "long-blur" tracers, but more like a delayed snapshot tracer, if that makes any sense.

5:00pm

I felt compelled to clean my apartment. It was a bit dirty and getting things clean gave me satisfaction and a way to expell my energy. I must say though, had I taken 20mg of Adderall I would have had a lot more amphetamine-type energy. DOI was actually smoother than 2C-I in this aspect as well.

5:30pm

I played guitar for a while, which I found was enhanced very nicely. Normally on psychedelics I think of new and original things to play, and normally on amphetamines I can play with increased speed and precision. Sometimes the difference is pretty amazing. Anyway, DOI, being both psychedelic and amphetamine, captured both these qualities very well, and I had a very satisfying jam.

6:00pm

Now I notice some shifting in the carpet. Other visual effects are difficult to explain. They were subtle, but beautiful. My relatively calm state of mind (considering I was tripping) combined with the relatively calm state of visual disturbance -- as opposed to high dose LSD, mushrooms, where everything in your visual field goes nuts -- allowed me to relax and enjoy the subtleties of my current trip. I remember finding DOI useful for working out logistical / situational problems that were going on in my life at the time. However I can't exactly remember what that was all about.

6:15pm

My annoying and schizophrenic neighbor from downstairs comes up to "see if I wanna do anything". I tell him it's a bad time. I turn on The Simpsons and smoke a bowl with my friend who's just stopped by.

Smoking the cannabis significantly changed the experience. Since I don't usually like to smoke on amphetamines.... and I don't usually like to smoke on phenethylamines, I'm not surprised. Basically it turned a fun, clear-headed, good humored trip into something a bit more confusing and turned inward. By no means was this something I couldn't have dealt with, so I just regretted smoking a little and waited for it to ride out.

7:00pm

My buddy had to leave for a bit and my annoying and schizophrenic neighbor came back up, this time bringing up some really schetchy crack-head lookin' dude I've never seen before. This dude asked me to smoke him out, and I said "no". Then he asked me if I had anything to sell, and I said, "No." Then I gave my neighbor a nasty look and kicked them out of my doorway.

So this put me in kind of a bad mood for the next couple hours, which I spent just watching TV.

Until...

9:00pm

My boys roll up with a bunch of quality beer and three boxes of whippits!
So needless to say the next couple hours were spent hittin' the bulbs. Of course the entire time we were smoking blunts and bowls of only the finest Maui Waui x Skunk homegrown.

I also drank some beer during this time, and ate 10mg valium in hopes that I would eventually be able to sleep that evening. I probably would have ate more benzos but that was all I had left.

10:00pm

No change in effects. Still at a strong ++. Though very clearheaded, I could interact with people just fine and they didn't know I was tripping (I asked later to verify).

11:00pm

No change. I went outside to have a cigarette and check out the night sky. I saw what looked like comets shooting across the night sky, and the dark color of the sky would pulsate. The treetops were glowing at least 10 feet away from the trees. The occasional firefly going by always caught my interest.

12:00am

No change. Medium ++ now.

2:00am

Sittin on my couch watching TV, drinking beers. Sleep doesn't seem like a possibility, but then again I rarely fall asleep before 3:00am anyway.

3:30am

I ate 12mg melatonin. My body still feels slightly tense and a bit "up" but my mind is pretty worn out. So I smoke a fat bowl and go lie in bed.

During this period I got probably the best visuals of the whole trip. Aztec-looking creatures formed radial patterns on my ceiling, which reminded me very much of what I've seen on 2C-I. The difference was that my ceiling turned into a kind of scene from space, and these creature-patterns seemed to be projected from this space.

Soon after that the melatonin made me pass out, and I got about 4 hours of restless sleep before waking up. At least I slept!

....

11:30am, The Next Day

Still feeling slightly stimulated, but definitely not tripping. This wore off by mid-afternoon.

....

Conclusion?

Well, first I should say I consider 2mg to be a low dose of DOI. I think Shulgun lowballed this one. I also know plenty of friends who have experimented with this chemical in doses much higher.... up to 15mg, and have not suffered any obvious health problems.

However, it seems that if you eat more than 4mg you are asking for a full 24 hour trip. Unfortunately, it seems like 4mg is the kind of dose people need for a full +++ experience. I have heard of people entering completely alien and unrecognizable worlds on higher doses. If you are brave and sure of your health, go for it. Otherwise my feeling is that DOI is suitable as an "entry-level" trip at low doses, like 2mg. However it appears to get very intense and long-lasting if you double that, or go higher.

This is all based on what my companions have told me, and I've observed on a few occasions.

Onset varies between 1 hour to +++ to 3 hours to ++. I suspect if you eat a higher dose it kicks in quicker.

Expect a 2mg dose to last about as long as LSD, except with a longer comeup. The comedown might also last a wee bit longer. Doses above 2mg extend the length of action up to 50 hours or so. Of course I would never suggest a 10mg dose of DOI but some people like to trip hard, no matter what, I guess.

In summary.... a pretty pleasant chemical. If you like mescaline and 2C-x chemicals you might love this. It was surprisingly easy on the body considering it's amphetamine structure and length of action.

This chemical also seems to provide a positive push, or motivation, to get things done. This is not a bad thing. However if you are OCD or severely manic/depressive you might want to avoid this.

peace

any questions you know where to holla

Interesting report about a material I am hoping to sample soon, too! It's interesting that the benzo didn't knock you out. But perhaps part of the visuals may have been enhanced by it? This has been my experience, anyway, with anumber of psychedelics as well as with E.

Another thing I can relate to is how the cannabis altered teh direction/focus of the trip. I get this quite often, too - especially on PEAs.

Great report!

You describe the effects just like I get them. Usually I take 3mg, sometimes less, just for that mild clear headed trip. 3mg or less does about match LSD's duration, and like you said maybe a slower/longer comedown (it seemed after 10 hours is when most of the effects drop fast) - also that the higher doses = longer duration.

I've read about this "alien world" thing on higher doses too, interesting..

one of the reports in pihkal:

(with 3.5 mg) I was at a full crashing +++ for about three or four hours. There was none of the LSD sparkle, but there were moments of `light-headedness' where one could move sideways with reality. I could leave where I was right over there, and come over here and get a strange but authentic view of where the `there' was that I had left. It would be out-of-body, except that the body came over here with me rather than staying there. This doesn't make sense now, but it sure did then. There was no trace of body impact, and I slept late that evening, but with some guardedness due to the intense imagery. This was no more intense than with 3.0 milligrams, but it was a little bit more to the unreal side.

Interesting, well soon i'll be getting a bunch of DOC, and I have a feeling its gonna be a good one, so maybe i'll be playing around with that one for a while and not DOI.

DOC sounds even easier on the body (probably allowing for higher doses if you wanted to, like DOI), and Pihkal lists the durations, DOB = 18-30 hours, DOI = 16-30 hours, DOC = 12-24 hours, so looks like the shortest of the three.. which is good - hopefully the best of the three, I definitely prefer DOI over DOB by far, so I can't wait to try out DOC (soon!).

I notice the motivation and interest in things also, last time I took it was the weekend of "DEMF" in Detroit, already had some tolerance but me and this girl took 3mg DOI and I didnt even really notice much but they had problems with the audio equipment and I had this urge to go help them - figure the problem out, following audio cables, and a huge interest in whatever software they were running.

Also noticed a big difference mixing cannibis in - made the trip more 'acid like' and more 'cosmic' out there deep thinking, but always fun and interesting.

Next up for me, DOC.. then bromo-dragonfly .

Nice report, BD, and a little-encountered compound.

Seems like this wanting to "get things done" aspect is common to the DOx compounds.... must be their amphetamine component.

I also find the same thing with cannabis.... that it can be pleasant but does move the trip in a different direction, and is more confusing.

Out of all the DOx compounds though, DOM interests me most

 

[Psilo707]

Nice report!

Really looking forward to hearing how the DOC goes... I still have yet to try DOI but I'm hoping to change that soon. Been looking forward to that one for a while.

 

[metasyn]

Nice! I absolutely love the DOI headspace. It has a really great 'relaxed' feel to it that makes the long duration relatively bearable.

I agree that I've found that cannabis has turned otherwise clear-headed DOI trips for me into a more confusing and frustrating experience, although others have said it potentiates their trip, so to each his own.

There must be a lot of individual variability with this compound, because I don't find 2mg to be nearly as mild an experience as you had. 1mg for me was about how you described 2mg, and it even lasted a bit longer (a solid 24 hours). Perhaps I'm just sensitive to DOI, but if you're new to this one I'd start at 1mg and work up.

I think your milage very vary quite a bit from person to person...as i took 10.5mg DOI and had quite an intense trip, but definately not "alien world"...completely out of touch with reality. Though i admit i dont remember a lot of it, i DO remember still having some grounding in reality. I find it important to mention that i did NOT trip for over 24 hours at 10.5mg. This chemical is definately very clean and smooth with zero negative side effects for me. I definately agree with anyone that would call it a mild LSD....though take enough and the visuals will blow you away...it just doesnt trip you out too much in the mind though..and i really like to get mentally "slaughtered" from time to time...this would not be a chem i would use for that...it's defiantely not a toy either though. ..like how i consider many of the phens to be "toys" and the typtamines to be "serious" in nature. I would place this somewhere in between. I'm really interested to see what this would be like when taken along with your tryptamine of choice.(In the rc family though..not LSD, psilocybin, or DMT).

I would definately like to explore this one further. I just have this feeling that there's a lot more to learn from it, to be gained from the experience. One that will really grow on me. The fact alone that it didn't make me queezy, give me a headache, make me feel drained, etc...is actually a very important factor i take in when considering how much i like the chem, and how much i will use it in the future. One of the "smoothest" rc's i've taken, by far. ...keeping in mind this was my first from the dox series.

sick report dude...... I wonder why everything in whippit world is metallic
