'''25I-NBOMe''' (also known as '''2C-I-NBOMe''', '''Cimbi-5''' or '''N-Bomb''' (although this term might also include other members of the [[25x-NBOMe]] family)) is a derivative of the [[Chemical class::Phenethylamine|substituted phenethylamine]] [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] [[2C-I]], discovered in 2003 by Ralf Heim at the Free University of Berlin,<ref name="Ralf Heim PhD.

It is worth noting that compounds of the [[25x-NBOMe|NBOMe]] class are not [[oral]]ly active and should, therefore, be taken [[sublingual]]ly by simply placing the substance into one's mouth and allowing it to absorb over a period of 30 minutes slowly. 25I-NBOMe can also be vaporized and inhaled; this may cause significantly quicker effects and shorter duration as is expected from that route of administration. However, this route of administration is not recommended, unless using precise liquid measurement, due to the difficulties of measuring and handling substances active in the microgram range.

However, this route of administration is not recommended, unless using precise liquid measurement, due to the difficulties of measuring and handling substances active in the microgram range.


In comparison to [[2C-I]], the addition of an NBOMe group to the structure results in a sixteen-fold increase in potency, allowing even the most extreme of dosages to fit in liquid form onto tabs and blotter paper, which people often mistake for [[LSD]]. 25i-NBOMe has a distinctly bitter and metallic taste that [[LSD]] does not have, which can be useful in determining what substance is really on the blotter.
