    5-Methoxy-N,N-diisopropylbenzofuranethylamine (also known as 5-MeO-DiBF) is a novel psychedelic substance of the benzofuran class that produces psychedelic and stimulating effects when administered. It is related in structure to 5-MeO-DiPT. This compound has little to no history of human usage prior to its September 2015 release on the online research chemical market.

    Effects Erowid

    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?

    Disappointed positive exp #107325

    This is a very new research chemical, and since there isn't much information about it on the internet, I decided to make a trip report of my experience. I bought two 50 mg pellets from a UK vendor. I have read that 50mg is a weak dosage.

    The Mildest Psych I've Ever Tried neutral exp #107685

    I've had experiences with some psychs, ranging from bk-2C-B, to LSD, to 1P-LSD, and a few more. When I saw 5-Meo-DiBF for sale on my usual vendor's website, I decided to give it a go.

    Weak and Disappointing NO WAY neutral exp #111956

    15:10 oral consumption of 100mgs of 5-Meo-Dibf 15:52: The effects start to appear stronger than I expected. The colors become more intense. There is a significant increase in libido. Mandibular tension as in the case of MDMA but milder and witnessed an important increase in energy.

    Tryptamines The Small & Handy 5-MeO-DIBF Thread (Benzofuran analogue of 5-MeO-DIPT)

    5-MeO-DIBF is the benzofuran homologue of 5-MeO-DiPT. The closest known substance to this is Dimemebfe, which would be the benzofuran homologue of 5-MeO-DMT. After most tryptamines were banned in the UK a while ago, this one appears to be their successor (technically not a tryptamine though).
