NBOH for Dummies [Erowid Note: The term "acid" has been used as a common name for d-LSD since the 1960s. Although confusion associated with newer psychoactive substances has lead some people to use the term "acid" to refer to anything LSD-like or anything psychedelic on blotter or sold in drops, we believe this represe...

Summary
25C-NBOH is a novel research chemical with extremely limited human use history and assumed similar toxicity to 25C-NBOMe, which has been linked to multiple deaths. This substance must NEVER be insufflated (snorted) due to high risk of fatal overdose. Compounds of the NBOH family are NOT orally active and must be administered sublingually, holding in the mouth for 15-25 minutes.

Effects
Aggregated from 3 single-substance Erowid experience reports; 1 Erowid reports where another drug was taken too are left out
Each bar shows the share of analyzed reports whose text mentions that effect — a mention is not always a first-hand experience (fear of an effect or something witnessed can count). Mentions saying the effect did not happen are left out; that check reads keywords, so it can miss some. The shaded band on a bar, and the small range after its number, is the 95% interval: where the share could plausibly be with other reports of the same kind. Fewer reports, wider band. Tap or hover any number for details. The second value is the Bluelight extractor's per-effect confidence; a dash means the row is Erowid-derived, which has no confidence measurement.
Too few reports for bars: these effects come from 3 single-substance Erowid reports, and a bar is drawn only from 20 reports or more. With fewer, a percentage cannot tell a common effect from a rare one. Counts are shown instead. Why 20?

23:10 Administered half-tab (500ug) 25C-NBOH, sub-lingual. 23:30 (T+20mins) Not feeling any effects yet. Still have tab between top lip and gum. Playing some piano, just improvising some ideas. I think for this trip I will leave the record button on for the duration.
Background: 31 year old male, 190 lb/86 kg body weight. Past experience includes DXM, cannabis, psilocybin, LSD, salvia, and MDMA. What follows is my first research chemical experience. Both trials were at home, with no plans made. I take Wellbutrin 450 mg daily.
I have had a reasonable experience with psychedelics over the two years prior to dosing 25-c NBOH. These included: DMT, Psilocybin, Muscimol, LSD, 25-i NBOH and MDA. I consumed no drugs of any kind for 2 weeks prior to dosing. [0:00] - Dose of 1000ug administered sub-lingually via a blotter on an empty stomach.
