@FindingEmoe:
Although a bit a late answer, and it is my first here. But at first sight I could only imagine 3 reasons:
1) Tolerance: Did you do other substances recently?
2) Psychological: IMHO especially on DOM when the trip is lower dose, one has the capability to prevent the trip and remain in a "sober" condition simply by concentrating on other stuff. But as soon as you then let go (in a psychological sense) the trip comes on fully...
3) Metabolism: By reading this thread I get the strong impression that DOM is the kinda substance where personal metabolism plays a big role. E.g. the effect differences with same dosages seem to wary quite strongly.
AFAIR Shulgin made some experiments with radioactive marked DOXs (I think it was DOB), where they could look where the stuff goes after ingestion. Strangely it seemed that first everything went into the lungs. There it got metabolized into some different substance, which then went to the brain. This route is quite different to most other substances which usually go directly to the brain. This could also explain the longer onset needed for the DOX compounds as they first have to be metabolized in the lungs before they can become active.
So if people have at this point a different metabolism, this could explain the strong differences in effects and also the strong differences in the duration of the trip. E.g. since some time I'm microdosing DOM (about 0.4mg) and although the dose is so low, for my metabolism this means, that it is impossible to sleep until 14-16h after ingestion.
BTW: IMHO DOM is just awesome for microdosing (a guaranteed smile for the whole day
). For the heavier trips DOM is just a too long commitment for me.
