Summary
DOC is an extremely potent and long-lasting psychedelic amphetamine with a steep dose-response curve. Active at sub-milligram doses with effects lasting 14-20 hours, it poses significant risks of overdose and prolonged difficult experiences. Commonly misrepresented as LSD on blotter paper. Effects include intense stimulation, vasoconstriction, and potential for stimulant psychosis during the extended comedown. Seizures have been reported in medical literature.
Perspectives
“I was hit with a slightly light head; the effects were quite real. I was disconnected, and somehow spacey, but this was a favorable spacey which was kind of fun. Somewhere at about the sixth hour I realized that I was beginning to drop off a bit, but six hours later yet, there was still a lot of memory. This is a long thing.”
