25x-NBOMe: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

'''25x-NBOMe''' is the general form of the NBOMe series of psychedelic [[phenethylamines]]. The series had nearly no history of human use before 2010 when some of the first compounds became available for purchase from online [[research chemical]] vendors.

~~It is~~ often ~~sold~~ as [[LSD]], ~~but one~~ fundamental difference between 25x-~~NBOMe and [[LSD]] is that~~ NBOMe is only active when taken through a sublingual or insufflated route. This means that to get the full effects, 25x-NBOMe blotter paper must be lightly chewed on for 20+ minutes and never immediately swallowed. 25x-NBOMe blotters cause numbness of the tongue and have a distinct taste that ~~has been~~ described as "strongly bitter", "metallic", or "chemical like" ~~by those who have tried them~~. This is unlike [[LSD]] blotters, which will not cause numbness of the tongue and may be tasteless or have a slight ~~flavour~~ depending on the amount of ink on the blotter and the composition of the blotter paper. Although these differences can be helpful in identifying an unwanted compound on a blotter, it is recommended that more reliable methods of identification be used, such as the use of [[Responsible drug use|testing reagents]] like the Ehrlich reagent. Insufflation~~, however, is not recommended;~~ reports of people suffering dangerous and often fatal overdoses ~~due to this route of administration~~ have ~~been surfacing~~.

While members of this series are often misrepresented as [[LSD]], a fundamental difference between them is that 25x-NBOMe is only active when taken through a sublingual or insufflated route. This means that to get the full effects, 25x-NBOMe blotter paper must be lightly chewed on for 20+ minutes and never immediately swallowed.

Insufflation of these substances are highly discouraged due to numerous reports of people suffering dangerous and often fatal overdoses that have surfaced over the years.{{citation needed}}

The 25x-NBOMe chemicals, as with many other serotonergic psychedelics, should not be taken in combination with SSRIs (selective [[serotonin]] [[reuptake inhibitor]]s) or [[tricyclic antidepressants]]. This helps to avoid [[serotonin syndrome]], a potentially life-threatening condition in which an abundance of serotonin builds up in the body, which in some cases can be fatal.
