NBOH and NBOMe series

25-B-NBOH, 25-C-NBOH, 25-I-NBOH
25-B-NBOMe, 25-C-NBOMe

The NBOH and NBOMe series are derived from 2-C substituted phenethylamines and were discovered in the early 2000s. They are cheap to manufacture and distribute due to their ultra-low active doses, in the range of micrograms. There are about a dozen compounds in both families, but I have only tried those at the top of the page.

Any of these chems can seriously hurt you or kill you if misused -there are reports of deaths at 3 - 4 milligrams or so. Which might be five or six blotters. These are not party drugs, and you are in for trouble unless you are experienced and know yourself and your mind very well.

25-I-NBOH, little but packs a punch

As they are all chemically related,  I only will write about their generic characteristics here. Their effects resemble those of their parent 2C compounds but even stronger, and the duration of the trip is comparable. I find that 25-C-NBOH is the most partylike of the lot, whilst 25-I-NBOH is incredibly visual. They are all very sensitive to set and setting, and I would rate them as challenging trips for veterans only.

NBOMe compounds are somewhat stronger than NBOHs, so their dosage should be reduced accordingly.

The most common route of administration is by blotters applied sublingually or to the gum: each square contains a pre-measured dose of the drug and an organic binder that helps the drug travel through the mucous membranes of the mouth. These drugs have a very bitter taste that some people can't stand.

Unfortunately, NBOHs and NBOMes have been passed on as LSD by unscrupulous dealers, with negative consequences. The bitter taste is a giveaway, as LSD lacks any. Another risk is an incorrect distribution of the dose in the blotter, by sloppy fabrication and measuring procedures. It is imperative to start small (quarter of blotter, even) and work the dose up until the right level is reached.

To help absorption of the drug, I usually brush my teeth before applying the blotter to my gums - I leave the blotter for 15 minutes and then spit it out. I've found that swallowing the blotter or saliva precipitates nausea.

Six doses of 25-B-NBOH in blotter form

I've read reports of people diluting the drug in alcohol and using aerosols or micro-pipettes to administer a diluted dose, as well as one report of someone who put a blotter dose into a gel capsule and used the rectal route.

Dose ranges 25-C-NBOH, sublingual, micrograms (ug) (male, 90 Kg)

• Light: 250 to 500 micrograms
• Mid-range: 500 to 1000 (one milligram!)
• Strong: over 1 milligram

Do your research before using any of these compounds, as the dose above is my own dosage. Every psychonaut will react differently depending on a myriad factors and combinations, and no two trips are exactly the same. Caveat Emptor.

All NBOH and NBOMe compounds cause severe cross-tolerance - you will not be able to enjoy the effects of any other drug of the phenethylamine or tryptamine family (including MDMA) for a period of time after an NBOH / NBOME experience.
Some people report this period to be two weeks long, although I find one week is about right for me.
