'''2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine''' (also known as '''DOM''' and '''STP''' or '''"Serenity, Tranquility and Peace"''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[substituted amphetamine]] class of chemicals. It is a member of the [[DOx]] family of compounds which are known for their high potency, long duration, and unique mixture of [[psychedelic]] and [[stimulant|stimulating]] effects.{{citation needed}}

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). PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story.

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]].
