'''2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine''', also known as '''DOM''' and '''STP''' ("serenity, tranquility and peace"), is a [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] drug of the [[Substituted Phenethylamines|substituted phenethylamine]] and [[chemical class::amphetamine]] chemical classes. It is a member of the [[DOx]] family of compounds.

DOM was first synthesized and tested in 1963 by [[Alexander Shulgin]] who was investigating the effect of 4-position substitutions on [[psychedelic]] [[amphetamines]].<ref>Shulgin, Alexander (1991).

In modern times, it is used as a recreational drug and an [[entheogen]], rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively obtained as a grey area [[research chemical]] through the use of online vendors.

This particular substance is part of the so-called "magical half-dozen" which refers to Shulgin's self-rated most important phenethylamine compounds, all of which except [[mescaline]] he developed and synthesized himself. They are found within the first book of PIHKAL, and are as follows: [[Mescaline]], DOM, [[2C-B]], [[2C-E]], [[2C-T-2]] and [[2C-T-7]]. In modern times, it is used as a recreational drug and an [[entheogen]], rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively obtained as a grey area [[research chemical]] through the use of online vendors.

DOM is a highly dose sensitive psychedelic that is often sold on blotting paper and known for its strong visuals and intense body load. Many reports also indicate that the effects of this chemical may be overly intense for those who are not already experienced with psychedelics.
