dosage: 3.5 mg's of the hydrochloride

By some lucky chance i had become the lucky owner of quite an amount of DON(2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitro-amphetamine hydrochloride). It came as totally yellow crystals, which where quite soluble in alcohol and water. 100 mg's was weighted out and dissolved in 100 mL's of apple schnaps(didn't have any pure ethyl alcohol at the time). It dissolved immediately on contact.

Some friends came over to my appartment and after a short "ceremony" we each drank some. I drank 3,5 mL's which corresponds to 3,5 mg's of the hydrochloride. One girl took 3,5 mg's aswell and two other males did 3,75 and 4,25 respectively. The substance was ingested at 20.00. We had plans on going to an illegal rave in the forrest with really sweet music and setting etc. I really wasn't up to going out all night, but my friends somehow managed to persuade me. We'll immediately after drinking the elexir we ventured off. We took a bus and had to change at some station. Within half an hour amphetamine like stimulation was present. When we got off the bus, we realised that it was the wrong place we got off, and we had to wait a full hour for the connectin bus. The substituted amphetamines in our system decided that our able bodies where able to walk there faster, and so we did. We walked about eight kilometers through the city and into the forrest. When we got there it was about two hours after ingestion and there where quite some visual special effects. Mentally there was not much going on. Although we had just marched eight kilometers my legs where no near tired. We walked through a very long tunnel to get to the bunker complex where the party was at. The setting was amazing. Very dimmed lights and a totally sheilded off valley.

We sat around and just talked for little less than an hour. At three hours after ingestion(around midnight) we smoked a joint and boy did that ever kick in. I was totally incapacitated for one full hour, where i couldn't decide whether i liked it or not. There was a little to dark to have serious visuals, but the CEV's where simply amazing. I just lied on the ground for about an hour and floated around in serious visuals.

At 01.00 in the night a new DJ came to the stand. He spun this godlike nice tune and all of the sudden a psychedelic enegryjolt shot through me. I went from being totally incapacitated(somewhat ketamine like) to being 1000X MDMA + meth stimulated. At the same time there where the amazing psychedelic push from the 2,4,5 subsitution pattern which made everything sound god like. I started dancing(more like stomping and jumping around like a madman). It was amazing. I felt like i had the energy of many hummingbirds and the strength of a pack of wild elephants. I cracked open a bottle of poppers(amylnitrite) and started smelling it. That sure did help the god like feeling :) I continued stomping like a madman untill the sun rose. I felt like goliath(i wore big military boots, so i could wander around the bushes without any difficulty), as i could stomp on any bushes i wanted without getting scrached. Quite amusing actaully ;) Shortly after that that point i had several flashes of reality. It seemed that everyone but me and my friends(which had chosen to mellow out with some fentanyl) where on MDMA/ecstasy and thus at that point everyone was chilling out and coming down, so i was the only one still going nuts on the dancefloor. I thought that this was a once in a lifetime feeling, so i really couldn't care for those people and their "inferiour" drugs, so i simply continued on my own. At five in the morning my friends decided it was time leave and thus almost literally dragged from the party. It was now about eight hours since we did the "tonic", and with the sun up, i was able to enjoy my visuals. The girl from the company and her boyfriend headed home while the other male and i, continued downtown. We sat in the middle of a quite popular part of town on the ground. We bought some beers and just sat there talking for a few hours, while doing a little fentanyl to mellow us out. It was really a lovely way to end the trip, just sitting there reflecting over the awesome night that just had passed. At 10 in the morning i headed back home with a smile on my lips and went to sleep besides my beatufull girlfriend with a little valium in the system. Woke up at 15.00 the day after feeling quite refreshed.

The week after some friends tried the compound again with minimal effects. It seems that this compound causes heavy resistance, so wait atleast two weeks between two usages.

All in all:
Can't understand why this compound is not widely tested. Not even the master himself(Shulgin) has tasted it. The duration is comparable to that of LSD and the effects are very nice indeed. It definately has advantages over DOB for instance(duration wise and preaparation wise). Maybe it's beacuse of the negative ratings the 2C-N has gotten in PiHKAL, that has caused this compund to be overlooked!

Great report on a substance I've heard barely anything about!

Very interesting

If you dont mind my asking, what country are you from, I have NEVER heard of DON in circulation anywhere (note: I am in no way asking to be hooked up)

Nice report
 
not a bad trip, but i'm more interested in how this compared or differed from other psychedelics such as 2c* or DOB
 
Excellent Report.

When I get a free second i'll dig up some links for this chem.

:)
 
Yeah, Shulgin is just quoting some other guys but can't seem to make sense of what they're saying. That's part of what made it so interesting to try ;) Noone really knew how it would affect us, and how much to do.

But i havn't had effective amounts of DOB, but from what i have read about DOB, DON is definately shorter lasting. About 15 hours top's, where 10 is spent tripping. Quite a nice duration. They bodyload was very minimal compared to 2CB. 2CB is a shitty compound to my body. It makes me feel weak and sick. DON on the other hand felt quite nice in the body. None of that lump feeling in the chest and no nausea.

The thing Shulgin quotes about it's abuse potential i can relate to. It was a really ease trip to handle and very amusing, so if the stuff ever hit the streets, it would sell ALOT.

Regarding availabilty... It's not going around in my area, i just happen to know the right people :)

Mixing beer, valium, and fentanyl at the tail end of your trip is not a wise choice. I would value my life more than to try that.
 
yeah, probably not the most "scientific" approach to the end...

BUT everything was taken in moderation. Not more than three beers, 10 mg's of valium and 2 x 100 mcg fentanyl over some hours :) Not totally fatal...
 
i'm with bandil. i love mixing alcohol, benzos, and a few vicoden when tripping. awesome times
 
considering how easy it is to make (same as dob, except using nitric acid in place of elemental bromine), i'm suprised there isnt more info about it

great report :)
 
wow

Now that's a pleasent report, right there. a breath of fresh air.

Lucky, huh? Might be worth a shot.....

"considering how easy it is to make (same as dob, except using nitric acid in place of elemental bromine), i'm suprised there isnt more info about it"
