'''DOx''' refers to a class of psychedelic [[amphetamine]]s originally synthesized and documented by [[Alexander Shulgin]] in his investigation of psychoactive [[phenethylamine]]s~~. Shulgin created most of these substances~~ in the 1970s ~~and~~ later published his findings in his semi-autobiographical book/organic synthesis reference [[PiHKAL]].

'''DOx''' refers to a class of psychedelic [[amphetamine]]s originally synthesized and documented by [[Alexander Shulgin]] in his investigation of psychoactive [[phenethylamine]]s in the 1970s. Shulgin later published his findings along with other mescaline-derived compounds in his semi-autobiographical book/organic synthesis reference [[PiHKAL]] ("Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved")<ref>Erowid Online Books : "PiHKAL" | https://erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal.shtml</ref>.

The DOx ~~chemicals~~ are highly potent, dose-sensitive, and long-lasting ~~chemicals~~ which are considered more intense and ~~difficult~~ to use than their counterpart [[2C-x|2C-x family]] as well as the [[lysergamides]]. The effects of DOx are generally comprised of strong visuals and an intense body load that is typically accompanied by marked physical and mental stimulation that can persist well past the main duration of its effects (residual stimulation).

The DOx compounds are highly potent, dose-sensitive, and long-lasting substances which are considered considerably more intense and challenging to use than their counterpart [[2C-x|2C-x family]]'s as well as the [[lysergamides]]. The effects of DOx are generally comprised of strong visuals and an intense body load that is typically accompanied by marked physical and mental stimulation that can persist well past the main duration of its effects (i.e. prolonged residual stimulation).

Notably, it is one of the few classes of psychedelic chemicals (the other being the 25x-NBOMe series and [[lysergamides]] potent enough by weight to be laid and distributed on blotter paper, where it is has a history of being sold as a substitute for genuine [[LSD]]. On the street, they are notorious for their distinctly bitter taste as well as their unusually long come-up period (which can take up to 3 hours before its main effects even begin to present themselves), which has sometimes led inexperienced LSD users to draw the premature conclusion that their tabs must be weak or from a "bunk batch" and ~~thus~~ take more to try to compensate~~. This~~ has led to a number of accidental overdoses and ~~unexpectedly intense~~ experiences when the ~~all~~ the effects finally do take hold.{{Citation needed}}
