Thank you for contributing yaesutom, all this support for this definitely makes me optimistic that it will effect me this way as well! Actually, I have to say that you guys are all making me think about something that had sort of disappeared into the fog of my mind for some time....
Another personal rambling, so you know I said before that I took some DOx blotter that makes me suspect DOB? Well, there was another blotter I tried once that I have had suspicions about before, but everyone I talked to always said "No, it's LSD! It's great!" back then so I shrugged it off, but these were just random people with as much drug knowledge as I at the time.... The thing is, I had never taken LSD before, so I had no reference for what it was supposed to be like, but what always got me was the fact that I thought it had a mildly bitter taste and I heard someone who was dealing at the time say in passing to someone else that they heard there were DOI blotters going around at the time. However, after trying that other blotter I had to admit to myself that the taste was nowhere near as bitter, but could this not just be from using a lower dose? As for the DOI idea, I toyed with it for quite a while but I could never feel certain that the duration or effects profile matched up quite right. It was really hard fighting the LSD theory because it did give me a very significant head trip and it lasted about the right amount of time, and it was months after it was gone that I was able to try guaranteed LSD to compare it to and my trips were already kind of changing through tolerance and experience by then, so it's just been a real struggle overall. But, what I can say is that there are a few key differences I've noticed between them that make me the most suspicious because these factors have never changed for me about other psychedelics: 1) known LSD I start feeling in twenty to thirty minutes at any dose and it really begins in like an hour, with this blotter it was like that on a higher dose but a lower but still powerful dose took an hour for things to start happening at all, which was still faster than the other bitter one; 2) there is a very considerable difference in the colors that I see on known LSD and what I saw then, like a significant heavy blues vs heavy reds kind of thing, and the geometry I saw on that trip was much more intricate and full of random detail and more fast-moving than the patterns I see on LSD now, but again at least some of that could be because those were some of my first trips; and 3) the first time I tried it I only took two hits and tripped for about fourteen hours, whereas that much LSD now will only keep me out for about eight, and there is tolerance involved like that's usually not a satisfying dose for me, but even with that factored in that's a significant difference.
On the other hand, the thing that always gave me such trouble with it was the fact that the head trip was indeed one of the most LSD-like things I have experienced, and certainly was not similar to that other blotter or things that I just thought of in relation to the DOx chemicals in general. The second time I tried it I took five hits and I was suddenly engulfed by lips mumbling nonsense and literally came to standing in the middle of the street outside at night. Unfortunately my memory of that trip is hazy possibly because I smoked cannabis with it for the first time (immediately before the aforementioned thing happened) and I really don't remember how long it lasted, or even much after that moment if I'm being perfectly honest.... The third time I took it I ended up taking ten hits and that was just lovely, there was extreme synesthesia and visuals like I have not experienced since, everything twisting, bending, breathing, pulsing, multiplying, pinwheeling, reaching, and at one point there was even a direct connection between tangible visuals and the passage of time. Even at this dose though, I remember feeling like I was mostly "done" tripping by the time we were heading to a club half a day later, but while we were there (and this is where it all comes together, yaesutom) I very distinctly remember staring around at the walls and noticing that everything looked like a high definition boxey spaceship, the box feeling was even making itself into little 3D spire visuals. It's so interesting that you would say that because I had completely forgotten about that.... When we were at the club that night I ended up taking a tab, but I honestly don't remember feeling that it even did something. The whole time I just felt fantastic after coming out of that trip and I couldn't stop talking to my friends about everything that had happened. Unfortunately, that was the last time I really ever got to experiment with those blotters... and thus I am just left with questions.
I know that nothing can be proven definitively, but this as has really brought up some interesting thoughts that I had previously laid to rest. I'll tell you what, I have a good eye and a good memory for psychedelic visuals.... One of these days I'm going to get the chance to try this DOC somehow, and I'm definitely going to know if the effects it produces are the same as what I got from those blotters... and if they are, you can bet I'm going to go to all those people who said they were LSD and say "I fucking knew it!"
