I thought I would add something after my first trial with 300mcg of 25I-NBOH.
It was the weirdest psychedelic I've ever tried in my life (never tried any other N-Benzyl 2cs). The closest thing I've tried was DOC but DOC feels organic, wholesome and consistent. This one felt very synthetic, chaotic, completely disorganized, sneaky.
Many people compare this to LSD - I would say there are worlds of difference between them - on LSD my mind is super sharp, expansive, attentive and concept-piercing, I understand a lot more than sober, when I'm on acid. 25I-NBOH made me feel very confused, dumb and numb instead, sense of insight was hindered by chaotic processes in my body and mind. Thoughts were impossible to follow, constructing anything out of words made me feel like a Neanderthal person. 8(
There were visuals but they were not making any sense, they did not have any feel to them either - they were strong, obvious and bright but I for some reasons didnt care for them as I felt really cold (both emotionally and physically), detached and useless. There were prominent after-images, tracers, morphing, rainbow splashes of color, strong melting effects. Visual effects were disconnected from everything else. In fact, I felt that all my senses were disconnected from me for at least 4 hours.
The good thing about it was that I pretty much completely lost the physical sense of body weight - it was quite incredible and pleasurable, although while getting up, I'd almost fall because I was not sure how much force was applied to muscles.
Poor body awareness and balance. BP 128/80, pulse 68 during the peak. I was at the higher end of ++ on Shulgin's scale. I would not want to operate any machinery or perform any task that requires constant attention while on 25I-NBOH.
Blotters were rated at 1mg, so I took a third as my first dose, which makes me think that my dose could have been anywhere from 250 to 350mcg. Held under a tongue for 35 minutes - it made my whole mouth to become very numb. Strangely, even hours later after sitting in the mouth, the paper was still making my tongue numb again. Metallic taste was observed as well.
It started in about 30 minutes with a strong time dilation feel and waves of vasoconstriction (which was comparable to about 1,5mg of DOC to me). There were weird movements inside my head and my chest. The body felt fragile and weird and there was a lot of bodily hallucinations, where I would feel my organs being filled with fluid, compressed and squeezed, being tugged on. There was also a "running current" feel that was going through the surface of skin and becoming very ecstatic at times - it was a quite a hedonistic feel! 8)
The experience felt like I had let some nano-bots inside my brain and they were rewiring all my circuits making me glitch and malfunction with my inputs-outputs.
I felt like a cyborg chewing on a high-voltage cable in order to get high. There was a persistent question of "Why do I do it? Do I really want to depart from the world I live into something like that?"
I remember thinking, that stuff like N-benzyl 2Cs is what you take to make your wish come true - to really depart from our world. I thought that I have to be careful with what I wish for.
It was not a bad trip however, on the opposite, at around 8-9 hours after taking it, I became extremely euphoric and happy, I wanted to repeat the experience (for weird reasons). The trip was also controllable to a certain degree (more than with most psychs), although it's hard to say because it was definitely lowering my inhibitions. There was also a reset feeling for the body and mind afterwards that I appreciate in psychedelics.
No headache followed (I usually get a headache on pretty much all phenethylamines), no negative side effects noted except for mild chest pressure and weird brain and chest movements throughout the duration. Next day I felt a nice afterglow but I also felt still somewhat disconnected and in a "I dont care" kinda mood. Some visual glitches are surfacing after taking nootropics and using cannabis.
I'm not sure what to make of it but I want to repeat the experience pushing the dose up to 500mcg.
I don't want to take a whole 1mg of it - a voice inside tells me to be careful with it. It feels as the substance is perfectly capable of making susceptible individuals to go really crazy and uninhibited (stories attributed to good ol' acid) and go flying out of the window or try cutting parts of own body - it sorta alienates the rational approach to life, making it a "squeezed through" experience instead. Also, it's ability to suppress language center effectively is probably one of the reasons why there are very few reports - you just cant seem to find and connect words for it.
I repeat what was said many times already - be very careful with this chem, be very careful!
