Setting: at home Dose: ~5.5mg Time: around midnight So, after a day of light drinking I came home and decided to try DON again. I had wanted to try this again since my previous attempt (with ~3.5mg) barely achieved what I would consider a +2 on the Shulgin scale.

Summary
A very rare psychedelic Amphetamine. That is more rough on the body then other DOx compounds. Making it physically painful in some cases.
Perspectives
“There was an amphetamine-like stimulation that was apparent an hour into it, and considerable anxiety. I had stomach cramps, but there were indications that there might be something hallucinogenic at a higher dose.”
