For me DOC is the best chemical on the planet !
DOC can be very insightful and very hilarious. The experiences can prompt positive changes in behavior and attitude that last several months, at least. PLEASE DO NOT RUIN THE REPUTATION OF DOC BY BEING AN IDIOT. The DOC effect is described as a 'highway trip' because it can be a 12-24 hour experience beyond every-day-life perception, and back again. At low doses (about 1 - 2mg) it alters and expands consciousness by loosening up the normal, tight abstract/conceptual structures a person has developed during his/her life. The DOC induce a tingling body feeling and a sense of exploration and lightness. You may feel giggly from the hilarious changes of reality. Colours seem more vibrant, music sounds richer and more detailed. :D
You should use DOC only with people you trust and feel comfortable with. Make sure you have enough water and some healthy food. Be aware that this will be an adventurous time.. The most important aspects to rely on during this adventure are your friends, your creative goals in life and most of all... your own spirit. You will become aware that you are the subject, the interpreter as well as the creator of everything you experience (during the trip but also during consensus reality). A 'positive' trip will result in a trust in fate, humanity and evolution. Feelings and ideas that were felt as 'negative' should not simply be put away. For the sake of insight they should be investigated, interpreted and in the end used to alter the source that brought up these feelings. Simply put: try to learn from everything you experience. DOC are not for children or big babies !
At higher doses (Above 2mg), the DOC completely erases the normal filters and screens between your conscious mind and the outside world. With these filters down, more information rushes in and you became aware of things normally filtered out out by your mind. You sense more, think more, feel more. Visual, auditory, sensory, emotional. The intricate details on surfaces, the richness of sound, the brightness of colours, and the complexity of your own mental processes. On DOC you do not see things that are not real" (often heard as an explanation), but you dig deeper into the pools and flows of information that that are normally hidden into what psychologists call the subconscious mind (thus a reflexion from the depths of your very own mind). The "DOC mind" will recognize these uncovered thoughts as it's own, and sometimes even as forgotten feelings from childhood; not simply as random or fake and meaningless fantasies.
As in dreams, the Subconscious speaks to the person in metaphors that are to be understood through an intuitive interpretation. The DOC could even take the person to thought processes beyond his own ego personality and beyond his or her culture; beyond the Collective Unconscious ..and back again. The traveller will return as someone with a higher tendency for lateral thinking, simply because he has been/seen outside of Consensus Reality.
DOC can provide a learnful experience.Take the time to incorporate the new insights into your life before going into the rabbit hole again..
