Summary dose.wiki Erowid TripSit PsychonautWiki

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (also known as DOM and STP or "Serenity, Tranquility and Peace") is a lesser-known psychedelic substance of the amphetamine class. DOM is a member of the DOx family of compounds which are known for their high potency, long duration, and mixture of psychedelic and stimulant effects. It produces its effects by acting on serotonin receptors in the brain.

Perspectives

“Serenity, Tranquility, Peace, is certainly a fitting nickname for this substance. This is absolutely one of the most gentle psychedelics I have tasted, save for some bumpiness on the comeup.”

— Nervewing, nervewing.blogspot.com 10 mg sublingual

“There is almost certainly an effect. Physically there is a slight dryness in the mouth, and my eyes are noticeably dilated. There is an eerie feeling overall.”

— Alexander Shulgin, PiHKAL (with 1.0 mg)

“I suspect that for anyone who doesn't encounter these issues there is much of interest to explore. Unfortunately though, this one just doesn't seem to be for me.”

— Dominic Milton Trott, The Drug Users Bible ~2.5 mg oral

Tolerance

Build-up develops rapidly; very long duration provides natural spacing

Reset 7–14 days for baseline

Tolerance Decay

Full tolerance 1d Half tolerance 7d Baseline ~14d

Acute tolerance rises rapidly after a single dose and can persist for days; functional tolerance commonly makes redosing ineffective and mostly prolongs duration. Cross-tolerance with other classic serotonergic psychedelics is expected. Data are primarily from community reports and general psychedelic pharmacology rather than controlled trials.

Cross-Tolerances

LSD

Psilocybin

Mescaline/2C-x

Effects Erowid Bluelight

Aggregated from 29 single-substance Erowid and 13 Bluelight experience reports; 25 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.

Rows resting on fewer than 20 reports show a count (“3 of 7”) instead of a bar. Why 20?

Also reported in combinations. In the 25 DOM reports where another drug was taken too, 1 (4.0%) mentions hospital, emergency services or an overdose, 0 (0.0%) a seizure and 2 (8.0%) psychosis. In the 29 single-substance reports: 6.9%, 0.0% and 3.4%. These are not in the figures above: they cannot be put down to DOM alone, and a mention is not always something that happened to the writer.

Prophetic Dream positive exp #60370

This weekend has been the culmination of a wonderful month. A series of really great events in my life coupled with some important realizations have led me to being able to continually maintain a flow of love radiating from myself, which has spread to others around me and which has made me the happiest I've ever been f...

The Bliss of the Sun positive exp #110997

T0:00- I woke up feeling a bit odd from a dissociative binge the day before, a roiling combination of PCP, 3-MeO-PCP and 3-MeO-PCE, consolation for a failed political action earlier in the day. This has mostly worn off by the time we dose though. We decide were all going to go out on an adventure.

My Day With STP neutral exp #107437

5/10/13 Dose: 4mg DOM Taken at 8:30am. Fell asleep at 3:00am the next morning. Duration.....14-18hr. My Day With STP After my iboga experience I was invited to California to continue on my journey. The trip out West really congealed the insights, visions, and love from my ibogaine treatment into the person I am now.

Set The Controls for the Heart of the Man positive exp #3216

I had been fairly certain ever since I got to Burning Man that I would save the DOM for the night of the Burn. My one past experience with DOM was at a dosage level that was slightly too low (7 mg), but I could see that it was a drug of the absolute highest quality, in the same class as LSD, mushrooms, etc.

Fear is the Mind Killer positive exp #67976

A little background on my tripping experience...I have shroomed twice, tripped on LSA twice, and ate at least a sheets worth of 'acid' (that is, blotter that is said to be LSD) in about 5 months from September 2006-February 2007.

Everything That Begins Bad Ends Good neutral exp #90371

Back in November, I began looking into the use of LSD. I had tried cannabis, mdma, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, opium, amphetamine, methylphenidate and dex methyl, ketamine, methamphetamine, coke, xanax, ativan and a few more.

Accidental Overdose cautionary exp #81707

[Erowid Note: The dose described in this report is very high, potentially beyond Erowid's 'heavy' range, and could pose serious health risks or result in unwanted, extreme effects.

Trapped Inside My Own Mind cautionary exp #102614

I had it decided. I was going to take 15mg of DOM. I had taken this dosage before but with tolerance of only a few days and again the day after. I tripped but it was nowhere near this experience.

Dom 6 5mg First Time Zoomy And Stupifying positive

Some Backstory The day before I had taken some LSD. It must have been around 200ug, but it turned out to be one of the most amazing trips I've had in some time. It was a spur of the moment trip and turned out to be a really healing experience. Soul cleansing all the way.

Dom 5mgs First Time The Spirits Of Light And Dark positive

"The Spirit of Light and Dark (A Report on DOM) Spring 2007" I recently had the privilege of trying a rare, illegal compound that I acquired through a trusted buddy of mine whom I have known for quite some time now.

Dom Experienced A Holy War In My Head cautionary

I recently experienced an excessively strong DOM trip, and I'd like to contribute to the numerous exhortations to start off with low doses when trying any DOx chemical.

Dom Stp 5mg First Time Was Expecting Better cautionary

Hey bluelighters! This is my first trip report ever so forgive me if it's not clear enough or my english is not good. I'm a male, 17 years old, about 75Kg. I've done MDMA (11 times), DOC (8 times), Paroxetine, Alprazolam, Diazepam and Delorazepam in the last six months.

7 5mg Dom First Time A Trip Report neutral

I'm just now reaching the very end of my DOM trip and boy was it a far out journey. For the first few hours, I just felt more of a speedy, anxious anticipation as I could feel my energy rise, but not hallucinatory effects. I wanted to move and I felt extremely energised even though I was a bit sluggish before.

Dom 15mg Experienced Meeting The Smurf People neutral

DOM is one hell of a drug. I have experience with LSA, LSD, shrooms, Fly Agaric, DXM, Ketamine, DMT, 25B NBOMe, mescaline and DOM. Out of all of those I must say DOM has settled in my heart as something very special to me though I do not actually know what.
