Summary
Beta-methoxy analogue of 2C-D, seems to be more "mild" than the likes of 2C-X and DOX compounds. Is 50/50 whether the body load is barely there, or overpowering the experience.
Perspectives
“This is an excellent psychedelic for socializing in any setting, it would be a lovely party drug but was also excellent for just lounging around with some very close friends. It is very hot and filled with energy, it lends itself to articulate conversation and thought.”
“There were some very pleasant visuals starting at 2–2.5 hours and continuing to 4–5 hours after the beginning of the experiment. Open eye visuals seem to come on after staring at particular areas, such as the living room ceiling or at trees. The surroundings tended to move slightly. There was no flowing of the images at all. When looking at the pine trees, the needles appeared crystal clear and sharply defined, with strong contrasts. Though the mental effect is difficult to define, I am not sure it was all that great. I did become tired of the effect (along with the confusion) after 8 hours, and was quite happy to note that it did taper off in the early evening. I am not particularly sure I would want to try this material again.”

It was to be my second trial of this compound. The first was back in 2016, on a wet, dark midwinter day. That time I was struck by the molecule's gradual onset- something like 2-3 hrs before reaching its maximum intensity - and having had no prior experience on a 'slow in/slow out' phenethylamine found this dilatory co...

This is a not at all rambling narrative about my (male adult, healthy, 75kg, experienced tripper) first taste of BOD (4-methyl-2,5,beta-trimethoxyphenethylamine) essentially 2c-d with a methoxy group dangling from the beta carbon.
Age: 24 Weight: 130 lbs Dosage: 25 mg oral in gel cap Setting: My friend’s house T0:00 – Take my dose. I am at my best friend’s family house in the suburbs, with another dear friend and longtime partner in crime. Both people have lived with me in the past and have been involved in many of my psychedelic shenanigans.
Had the pleasure of getting to try this unique compound recently. Acquired it from a known good source complete with NMR AND HPLC results showing 98.8% purity. I have tried many phenethylamine's and tryptamine's over the years, including a few other exotic ones, but I will say that BOD is definitely unique in its own w...
