Doing DOC for the first time next weekend, slightly scared about the duration

[Volcano]

I have experience with: LSD, MDMA (not really a delic but whatever), DMT quite a bit (including OOB ++++s) and mushrooms quite a bit.

I decided to order 5 predosed 1.4mg DOC blotters from a trusted vendor. I'm going to do them with friends. I'm only going to eat 1.25-1.5 hits but I'm worried about the duration.

I've never done anything that lasts longer than 8-10 hours. Something I can dose at like 7PM and be sleeping by 4AM.

I've cleared the entire weekend so time isn't the problem, I've just never done something so long acting. I don't worry I'll have a bad trip but any advice for DOC newbies?

How comparable is it to LSD? If things are getting a little long winded for me, can I take a benzo? I'm prescribed Klonopin (though I rarely take it) and I can get my hands on Xanax.

Thanks for the tips

Check out the trip report that won this month...it is about DOC. I almost took it too but that duration makes me shiver. 2c-p was too long for me and I'm done with long lasting psychs.

If you have benzos on hand you can terminate the trip after the peak.

It's a fairly interesting experience tripping for such a long time, not necessarily as bad as you think. Just keep a few benzos at hand (although remember that the peak doesn't last the duration of the trip, so after the peak things slowly go back to baseline - so if you're finding the peak intense try to ride it out) also remember that it's only a drug.
I found it fairly rewarding, it got me quick to tripping a lot faster than I thought and made some of my stronger trips easier to manage.
If you managed to sleep, it's interesting to wake up still going too.
Beyond this point though, I find it not much more than a novelty as it eats your weekend.

After the plateau with the DOx I can sleep (6 –9 h), although the effects have not yet passed. Some people I know can do the same but many can not.

The duration seems highly variable from person to person - for me at least it was nowhere near 24 hours. I would do it again as I was able to sleep at +10:00 hours. That's not to say your duration will be as short as mine, but most people I know who have taken sub-3.0mg doses feel back to baseline before 16 hours.

Do it anyway, my first DOC trip lasted 20 hours at 2mg, my second one was 20mg MXE/2mg DOC and only lasted 12 hours. I think it's kinda variable, but worth risking. The only other long-acting psychedelic I've taken was 2c-P and I loved it. Have DOI too, but unsure about that beast.

Quetiapine (seroquel) will also help stop the trip if you don't have benzos.. if neither work and you start to get anxious / uncomfortable.. crack open the alcohol.

Thanks guys.

Like I said, I'll have Klonopin and possibly Xanax on hand. I'm also prescribed Sonata (z-drug, short half-life, used only for getting to sleep) that I may take as well if it's getting long winded.

I only plan to take 1.25-1.5 blotters which would be 1.75mg-2.1mg.

DOC is something you want to take before noon. It's one of the few, if only psychedelic I think is a great one for "day tripping".

I've had extremely amazing stuff at 2.4mgs and it was 16 at most... I'm not exactly sure, it was gentle and I took some benadryl and woke up the next day.

Had I not taken it during the early morning, I would have been upset after being up all night, though.

You definitely have to plan for the duration. But at around 1.1 to 1.5, it's really going to start tapering off around 10 hours and it's a really gentle come down - total duration maybe 12 to 14 hours.

Just do it early on a Saturday or some other day when you can ingest it before noon and don't have obligations like work the next day, you'll be fine.

With DOC I find the duration to be a good thing if you took it at noon or earlier. it allows you to fully integrate the experience and come back to everyday life easily..if possible go to a place where you can watch the sunset

BTW For a full-on experience, if you've a little experience i'd take 3mg

ooooh man, doc! i took FIVE mg my first time, which, yes, is a shit ton, but it was AWESOME. TOTALLY fucking don't worry about the duration. i thought that by hour 20 or so i'd be sooo sick of tripping, but the euphoric state and happy/weird mood it put me in was so great, lasted literally until i fell asleep, and i never felt feelings of "god, i'm so ready for this to be over." just enjoyed the ride the WHOLE time

as long as you don't have any obligations in the near future and your environment/setting is groovy, then there's no reason why you won't have a fucking awesome time. just get through that bitch of a comeup--literally is the WORST part but afterwards is speedy, psychedelic, acting-weird-as-fuck, ball-trippy bliss!!!

have fun!! :D

i used to like to take DOC in the early evening and then pull an all nighter. my doses were usually around 3mg. doing an all nighter on a higher dose might be a little crazier...

So far, due to duration, all my DOC's have been daytime & I have to second that ^! This is a superb compound for day-time tripping. I was telling some mates about this shit a couple weeks ago & they were aghast at my daytime tripperings! I am nontheless, looking forward to trying this overnight, sometime soon

Oh, & spendning time in an ancient forest before & after your sunset is incomparable! Stunning!

Dosing at night wouldnt be all that different would it? I mean if you take it around noon, you would still be tripping well into the night.

Most times I have dosed a DOx compound has been after midnight and after around 10 or more standard drinks, it isn't pretty and it isn't funny on monday morning when you have school and didnt sleep saturday andsunday night from DOC. My mother never found it funny either.

yeah i've gotten into trouble a few times too pretty much the only time that its safe to do that is a friday-night type situation. still, some of the best times i've ever had i would say! (minus the excessive drinking)
