take 6mg fuck man let it go i'm serious mad visuals 36 hours but redose 4mg half way in for the wins
I wouldn't listen to this post. Not good advice at all. There's no real justification for taking 10mg of this substance, even if you do want "mad visuals 36 hours"
Some people prefer quite high doses with this substance but 10mg is by all means *incredibly* excessive unless you have a significant tolerance. Work your way up and find the sweet spot for you - with substances like this which can last a very long time for many people, dosing too much can mean a day or longer wishing your trip would end already..
Reported dosages for DOC and other DOx substances seem to vary quite wildly. I speculate that this is due to the fact that the substance is commonly sold on blotter and it's very easy for people to mislabel or miscalculate dosages, whether intentionally or not - but it also could be due to individual reactions to the substances.
1mg would be a good place to start since while for the most part that seems to be regarded as a notably low dose - I do know a few people who've had strong experiences from as little as 1.5mg-1.75mg, and 1-1.2mg was all they needed. It's always better to dip your feet in the shallows before you dive in at the deep end either way.
I've only tried the substance once with what was meant to be a 4mg blotter, however based on the low level of intensity and the reports of others I'm led to believe the blotter was not 4mg, and a much much lower dose, maybe closer to what you're taking. It wasn't very trippy, mostly stimulating, and it generated some interesting thought trains.
It's quite plausible that 1mg might be a bit too weak and underwhelming, but at the same time, if you only have 2mg in total, given DOC's quite stimulating and social nature it might still be nicer to share a barely-above-threshold trip with a friend than to have a slightly stronger trip alone.
In my experience weed and synthetic cannabinoids greatly potentiate the psychedelic effects of the DOx series as they do with a lot of other psychedelics, so if you use any of those you could keep some around for the trip if it's not quite as strong as you're looking for.
Overall it really depends on the intensity you want though. As with all substances I'd take some kind of an allergy test dose first to ensure there isn't a bad reaction, then it really depends what you're looking for.
Are you okay with a lighter trip or do you want something stronger?
