Hello everyone, I have a few tabs of 25B-NBOMe HCL each have 750µg. And a few tabs of 25C-NBOMe HCL with 700µg. They are both complexed at 8.5-1 ratio.
Usually when I dose I take the tab and put it in 30-50 units of distilled water. Then I wait about 20 to 30 minutes and draw up the liquid and intranasally drip it down my nose. This provides an onset of about 7-15 minutes.
I was wondering if I could IV the solution and has anyone tried it? I would start out with 1/4 of the dose. So about 180µg. I would measure the dose pretty accurately using volumetric measuring.

Has anyone tried IVing these compounds? I'm aware of the danger because of how little is known about these substances but I'm very curious. Any advice in regards to harm reduction would be great.
If you or someone you know used this ROA before please share your experience.
 
If you try this I would start with a even lower dose and work your way up. I don't see much benefit in doing this as it seems plenty potent other roa's.
Thank you for your reply, and not judging my curiosity or basically calling me an idiot. I'm glad some members can carry themselves and post in a mature manner.
Simply for documentation purposes. I keep a drug log, I guess you could call it. To help inform others of these substances.
Also the effects could be extremely different when administered intravenously.

Thanks for the smart ass reply. You're really helping. How can you say there's no benefit if you haven't tried it? Oh and most deaths are from people not measuring properly or snorting lines they eyeballed out.
Thanks for your 'concern' but I'm going to go ahead and disregard your post. Yes its a new chemical with an unknown safety profile. You'd have to be an idiot not to realize that. Especially since they're branded 'research chemicals'. Unless of course you don't know the definition of those two words. But myself and the dozens of people I've done it with never had an issue with these compounds. Probably because we measure our dose, don't over do it, and never combine substances. Its called responsibility. And some people have it while others lack it. I've used these compounds up in the 2-4mg range without any issues or any signs vasoconstriction. Proving people react differently. I said I was going to start low, and in reality IVing is no different than other ROAs. If you're okay with people plugging these compounds you shouldn't be so arrogant about IV use.

Anyway, if someone who can offer legitimate information or perhaps an experience they can share that'd be great. Smart ass comments will be ignored, so don't waste your time.
Thanks.
 
^ Honestly what would the benefit be? It is VERY stupid in my opinion. You get high through nasal and sublingual administration why mess with IV. There can't possibly be a benefit worth taking that risk. I don't think anyone will be able to answer your questions. I think by saying your going to try 1/4 of your normal dose says you shouldn't begin your so called "research"
I think a much better approach would be a very very miniscule dose and titrate up. Like shulgin does with new substances.
I don't think anyone here will support this. But, maybe someone will come along with the info you desire...

Maybe not, but some drugs offer a very different experience when used IV. For instance, DMT when smoked is different from IV DMT. And IV DMT is very different than oral DMT. Who says this isn't possible with NBOMe compounds or other drugs. I apologize for my curiosity but sitting there basically calling me an idiot isn't the right way of telling me its dangerous. You'd think a moderator would have a little more maturity under his belt. You are right and I will start at a much smaller dose. But there are mature ways to post your opinion and I feel that other user did not. I appreciate your concern and will take into consideration what you said. And even will start with less than 1/4 of the normal dose. I'm thinking 25µg for starters. Since tolerance builds this will be a project taking place over the course of at least 8 weeks.

On a side note, it seems like I've found some records of people IVing NBOMes with positive experiences.

One word: why?
Thank you for asking.

I've been heavily documenting the effects of the NBOMe compounds lately.
I've been curious about it, and today after reading some anecdotal reports on IVing these substances I decided I would try it for research purposes. Think of it as drug journalism.

I understand there is a mature way to express ones opinion. But, the poster wasn't far off. There has been numerous incidents revolving overdosing of NBOMe's. It just doesn't sound like a smart idea and I believe that was what the poster you reference was trying to express. I am glad you took my post seriously and will reduce your dose. That is definitely the right way to go about it. Even if the dose is sub-active. All that means is you increase your dose next time by a little and go from there. Eventually, you will find a sweet spot. But, with really no research and limited usage of these compounds it is just not smart.
In all honesty your so called "research" sounds like your are trying to justify IV'ing this substance.
 
If you are otherwise healthy, have not experienced any significant side effects, etc... I agree that IV is really not a lot different than other methods as far as how it is dealt with in the body. Absorption would be better so lower dose is definitely good, but as far as I know up the nose is close to straight to the blood anyways, and so is rectal.

This said, I believe the difference in effects of other drugs like DMT comes mainly from how it is broken down/handled. I think NBOMe IV will probably just be fast in and more intense... A faster and more intense (at least at first) version of what you are used to. But this is why you are doing lower doses.

To actually have a different different experience, I have a feeling smoking would be the most alien, compared to all other ROAs due to how this substance works anyways. Generally.

P.S. How many Anon users do we have? Got confused for a sec.
 
Have you considered vapourising it first? This will give you a similarly fast onset without the more significant risks of IV use.


Worth bearing in mind is that with psychedelics ROAs like vapourisation and injection give a very rapid comeup and then almost no plateau, meaning you are coming down within around half an hour. This makes for a very unfulfilling experience where you just want more.

I would advise against vapourising too though. With 2C-E and 2C-B the instant comedown meant I was almost chasing a high, trying to stay at a peak and probably spent a good hour vapourising each one. Ignoring everything else, there will be a big issue with this and the NBOMes because of their tachyphylactic effects. I probably could have vapourised the 2Cs a bit faster but the vapour is a little unpleasant in higher amounts and I didn't want to overdo it by taking a massive hit because there were no dosing guidelines available for vapourisation.
 
Thanks for the smart ass reply. You're really helping. How can you say there's no benefit if you haven't tried it? Oh and most deaths are from people not measuring properly or snorting lines they eyeballed out.

to encourage you to do something this ridiculous/pointless is not in the spirit of harm reduction. full agonist hallucinogens like DOx group etc. have low margin of error in overdose safety. nBOME's are kind of displaying a similar unforgiving nature.

if mdma was only just made a year ago and you were wanting to IV it i would say the same thing. when something is unresearched why try taking it in the most risky and dangerous route possible? even if the drug experience is fine IV always carries a risk of infection as you are breaking the barrier we have to protect ourselves. basically unless you are going to get an amazing rush there is no point. even if you are going to get a juicy rush its still very risky as a route of drug administration
 
I wouldn't know because I would never cross the needle barrier anyway, and have NO interest in injecting anything, ever. But I will say, without judgment, and without knowing what the answer to your question is, I am pretty sure the last thing I would do is inject the poison that Nbomes are into your body. I would think that doing so is playing Russian roulette at the very least. Knowing the myriad issues with Nbomes, I won't even put them in my mouth any longer. It's garbage to me, but that's just me.
 
Anon610; merely because I disagree with you and think you're unwise to consider IV'ing an nBome doesn't mean I think you're an idiot.

If you're interested in trying this, would you consider titrating up from extremely small initial doses? Starting off from 1 ug and doubling to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512. It's only 10 experiments until you're in the milligram range.

What potential benefit do you see in this ROA?

Curious.

Yeah, okay. I think you realize people think this is stupid and dangerous. And I would not deny the dangerous part. But I suggest that this is an issue of personal choice. It could certainly be stupid as well, but if you're informed, and you want to do it, then *do it safely* and it is merely reckless, not stupid. Each of us must make our own decisions.

It is suggested that to warn you off entirely is harm reduction, as per:

Well I think that ensuring somebody is going to do something dangerous as safely as possible is harm reduction too. Maybe this is because i shoot heroin for a living, maybe not, I tend to believe that people can and will do reckless things anyway, no matter the number of people trying to dissuade them, and the best way to improve that is to ensure they perform an overall reckless act with as much caution as possible. And you seem to have the hard on for IVing 5-HT2a full-agonists with steep dose response profiles, so therefor, you need to go and read up as much as you can on safe IV technique, and then *actually practice* those techniques.

Then you're going to practice with sterile saline solution using micron filters. Because I really don't think you want a half-subcutaneous half-intramuscular mess of NBOMe hydrochlorides in your arm from blowing your shit. Or to discover a massive phobia of needles when you've got a rig in your vein and the blood rushes in as a dark red mushroom cloud. And then, you're gonna go buy some powdered NBOMes, because there's no way to know what the dose in each blotter is, and god knows what ink and whatever else crap they put in, they including the manufacturers of the paper itself (bleaching, maybe, certainly processing, don't know what chemicals but you shouldn't shoot them if they're there, and if its cotton or paper either way you risk shooting microscopic cotton or paper bits too).

When you buy the NBOMe(s) you will need to get at least two hundred milligrams, and then you will need to buy a proper milligram balance should you lack one now, with calibration weights. This is so that you can put a full 200 mg in solution. Look at it this way, if you get 10 mg and put it in 10 ml of water, that is a 1 mg/ml. But milligram balances can be off by 5 mg, so your solution could be up to 1.5 mg/ml. Whereas if you make a 200 mg solution in 200 ml of water, the worst you could do would be 1.025 mg/ml. Hell, I'd say get 500 mg and make a 500 ml solution, make that at worst a 1.01 mg/ml solution at worst, if you value your safety at all.

Now that we have the appropriate tools, we have practiced IVing multiple times successfully, and we have a 1 mg/ml solution, weighed by competant milligram balance, we're going to take ten milliliters of the solution measured with one of your syringes, which will be marked in 100ths of a milliliter for accuracy, and put it into a new container. Now add 90 more milliliters of sterile saline solution. You'll now have a 100 microgram/ml solution. This is what you will be injecting.

You will titrate your doses, beginning seriously low, because this is serious business. Start at 5 mics. This will be five of the 100th of a milliliter gradations on one of the syringes. You're going to take the rig full of 5 hundredths of a ml of this twice-diluted solution and fill the rig with an additional 85 units (what you call the hundredth of a mL gradations on a syringe) of pure saline, *not* with more NBOMe-laced saline. I say this because surely you will have your various bottles – sterile saline, 1 mg/ml saline, and 100 mic/ml saline – *labelled clearly*, correct? Correct.

So you will be withdrawing only 5 micrograms at 1 mic/unit (100 mics/mL) and then filling the rig up the rest of the way to the 90 unit position. This will ensure that this potentially caustic solution is as dilute as possible. I have no idea if it is caustic or not; best to assume it is. You will then inject this 5 microgram dose as you have injected your practice placebo shots. You will of course rotate your injection-use veins, and use alcohol swabs, and micron filter before shooting.

Nobody knows the active dose with any precision; one report on erowid doesn't cut it. So you will titrate up from 5 mics as follows:

5, 10, 15, 25, 37, 50, 60, 70, 80, etc.

By that point you should be feeling it. You will wait at least two weeks between shots to ensure that a sub-active dose may not have produced tolerance, which would give you the picture that the drug is weaker than it really is, with potentially fatal consequences if you then lose tolerance and take another shot.

I don't think you'll be having a lot of fun, and you may end up at a very intense trip, so read this and this in case you ++++ by accident or kill your ego, and this, for bad trips.

If you are serious about doing this, you must do this as I specify. I am an eight-year IV user and daily heroin addict with experience IVing: I have no tracks. I rotate and use safe technique, so that 2 shots at a minimum per day * 365 days a year * 8 years = at least 8,760 shots total in my lifetime, and surely many more as some days it's as many as six shots, has left no traces. There is a reason: safe IV technique. If you care at all about your life and especially your family and friends, who would likely be very upset if you OD on a relatively unknown, ultrapotent full-agonist psychedelic drug, you will follow these directions exactly.

You *will not* use blotter dropped in water to make your solution, unless you're an utter moron. And since we're having a civil discussion now like you wanted about what you need to do to be safe here, I'm going on the assumption that you're just reckless, not moronic, as per my first paragraph.

I also debated whether to even include the proper volumes needed to make a 100 mic/ml solution, as anybody considering this should be totally capable of such math themselves without the slightest bit of help. But if I'm going to explain how to try not to die doing this then I may as well be exacting.

I also am hesitant to even post this because you should be able to figure out how to do this safely yourself if you're actually going to consider doing it; if you can't, you're not mature enough and responsible enough and most of all resourceful and self-sufficient enough to be doing this, but then again this is a harm *reduction* forum so I would rather spoonfeed safety tips than not have done so just on the off chance you actually do this. I'm not trying to be insulting here either, just being honest.

Fellow PD people, feel free to add your own requirements for safe use, but do not come back at me with nonsense that I'm being dangerous, please. I will not get angry but I will be disappointed. It should be clear I do not advocate doing this at all, I am simply ensuring that if this fellow persists he will not surely die and may live to continue being reckless, as safely as possible, see?

I also suggest you read this about solubility and making solutions, and search more using TFSE to read up on ensuring that rather insoluble NBOMes may be made into a solution and how to ensure a solution stays sterile via additives.

Good luck, you will need it, and godspeed.
 
I don't think it's a good idea to IV a potent psychedelic if you're an IV virgin. It will hit you hard, fast and if you're trying to reach what I think you're trying to reach then you'll be gone before you get the needle out of your arm. If you really want to try a psychedelic intravenously, why not go for a safer compound like 4-ACO-DMT? Supposedly it's godly when taken IV, probably more worth your while than an NBOMe.

At any rate, if you do proceed then be sure to have someone who really knows what he's doing around. You don't want to end up in the news.

That said, there's nothing wrong with the IV route if you know what you're doing.
 
^^ I think the risk and unknown aspects excites him.

But you mention something else essential: having somebody around in case you OD or freak out of have a bad reaction.
 
Again though, if you've never IVed before, especially not with psychedelics, then wouldn't the risk and novelty be the same if you IV DMT or one of it's brethren? Maybe you're not exploring uncharted lands but, to stick with that metaphor for a moment, the anthropology and history of those lands are not well-known. In other words, you're in for one hell of an experience, something very unfamiliar even if you're an experienced tripper. (maybe not for a DMT-head, but still)

Just trying to say that the excitement will still be there with a safer compound, let the experimenting be done by those that have traveled there a lot.

EDIT: And before anyone comes in and states that IV doesn't necessarily mean a blast-off experience, sure with the right dosage it isn't, but no one is going to stick a needle in his/her arm just for the sake of it. It's either for economical or qualitative reasons (or both), presumably the latter.

Yeah, you've got good – and more importantly very valid – points all around. I would also strongly suggest using something else if IV it be must. Miprocin is pretty take at reasonable doses, I imagine a 'reasonable dose' of IV miprocin would be probably the least crazy of the tryptamines, maybe 2C-B, C, or D for PEAs. Truthfully I'd just as soon be didn't IV anything; as I said if you can't collect the relevant information and figure out how to do it yourself you should not be doing it whatsoever. And the OP is indeed giving me the impression he 'needs our help' to put together the info and figure out how to do it safely. Suggesting only 1/4 the buccal dose gives that impression too, it gives me the willies, as that's a massively bad idea, is irresponsible, and suggests both a lack of taking it seriously and a lack of good, common sense. But I could be wrong and am reading negative things into the post that aren't there.
