I've taken DOC at 2.7mg, 4.4mg and 7mg, a couple of weeks spaced apart.
The first time I took it @ 2.7mg I think I was surprised at how deep it took me into a field of Gaiain connectivity... with full power earth/human activation which was archetyptally yogic in its imagery and energy.
I also found I was also to go deep into releasing limitations based on conceptions or images I had made of life before I was five years old... very strong releases here...
I found I was able to let go and come into a sense of stillness and transparency which enabled my energy body to move and free itself from the chains of emotional denial...
At this dose the +3 effects would have only lasted a few hours... I dosed at 6.30am and was able to sleep fine that night with a little valium.
When I took it @ 4.4mg, it was not signifcantly stronger, I felt like I sincerely cracked something open with the first dose and this dose was consolidating that.
Most of the time, I let my jaw go, and shake and just release fear... I could see a visual/organic field, but I was separate from it... kind of like mushrooms, very orange and brown.
It was a very pleasant contemplative day....no major revelations.
On that day, I took it at 8.30am and got to sleep @ 2am.
A couple of week later, I took 7mg to see what would happen if I went "in there" for a number of hours... having no idea what to expect really. I took it at 3pm.
This was an unexpectably strong dose.... it was truly psychedelic in the way that 1000 mics of clean acid is.
The messages and imprints and visuals coming through were very different though, they had their own texture and particular perspective... I was able to go about as deep into my own somatic and emotional, genetic imprints as I have ever gone... allowing much realisation and seeing.
I am someone who has been working intensively with ayahuasca for 6 years or so... so it was surprising to me that I was able to go this far with this material!
(ayahuasca tends to be quite cosmic for me!)
Now, the other thing is that it took about two weeks to feel fully physically repaired from this experience... it was definately communicated to me that this compound could very well be deleterious at high doses.
And so I couldn't recommend a dose as high as 7mg whatsoever!
I also couldn't recommend DOC as an LSD replacement... as a 'tripping' tool... it is just too serious and hardcore... it cuts very deep and yet has something of a throwaway disposable cartoonish element to it.... the compound came to once and pronounced its full chemical name in a radiohead ok computer voice, and said, "they call me the christ maker!" and I had this image of "DOC" as a "Bender" like figure operating on "the average age of the combat psychonaught - 19", on a stretcher... perhaps a bit too Dr Nickish for my liking!
I also heard yells and should and squeels of urban violence and gang warfare and of kids challenging each other to take more and more DOC.
I also felt there were beings using this compound to take readings and survaille humanity.
I didn't feel comfortable with the morphic fabric of this material, seemingly being relatively young Nth Americans... a very slanted perspective of the world...
(their skin screases are becoming darkier and dorkier!)
After the profusion of personal information and processing, I blacked out, screaming and convulsing for a few hours... I don't remember most of this... so I am told.
I am used to this kind of thing at high doses of any psychedelic... and it doesn't concern me, if I am coming into contact with my own pain or there is some kind of struggle or movement there, I feel this is something positive.
I "came to" at about 3am...feeling surprisingly positive...much had been revealed certainly!
There is real power in this material. It cuts deep... at one point, I was watching the setting sun and felt the energy move through my body and spiral through my body, feeling very penetrated by it all...
I took DOB six years and it changed my life, in the way it allowed me to connect and work with various levels of psychic and earth energies...
I feel the value in these series of compounds lies in connecting with the earth and consciously choosing to work through, particulary deep emotional material blocking ones growth and progress.
The text book for DOC I would suggest is Chogyam Trungpa's "The Myth of Freedom"
