'''25B-NBOMe''' (also known as '''Cimbi-36''', '''NBOMe-2C-B''' and '''2C-B-NBOMe''') is novel [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] class. It is a member of the 25x-NBOMe series, a recently discovered group of potent psychedelic compounds derived from the [[2C-x]] family. The name 25B-NBOMe, which is short-hand for 2C-B-NBOMe, indicates it is a derivative of the phenethylamine psychedelic 2C-B.


'''25B-NBOMe''' (also known as '''Cimbi-36''', '''NBOMe-2C-B''' and '''2C-B-NBOMe''') is novel synthetic [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] chemical class. It produces an array of visually-dominant and stimulating [[psychedelic]] effects when [[Routes of administration|administered]].  
25B-NBOMe was discovered in 2004 by Ralf Heim at the Free University of Berlin.<ref>Ralf Heim (February 28, 2010).

[[Subjective effects]] include [[stimulation]], [[geometry|open and closed-eye visuals]], [[time distortion]], [[euphoria]], and [[ego loss]]. Anecdotal reports suggest 25B-NBOMe to be an active [[hallucinogen]] at a dose of as little as 250–500 µg, making it a similar potency to other phenethylamine derived [[hallucinogens]] such as [[Bromo-DragonFLY]].<ref>Bromo-Dragonfly Dosage by Erowid | https://erowid.org/chemicals/bromo_dragonfly/bromo_dragonfly_dose.shtml</ref> It is worth noting that compounds of the [[25x-NBOMe|NBOMe]] class are not [[oral|orally]] active and should therefore be taken [[sublingual|sublingually]] by placing them into one's mouth and allowing it to absorb over a period of 15-30 minutes.

Extremely little is known about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 25B-NBOMe in humans. Numerous members of the [[25x-NBOMe]] series have been associated with hospitalizations and deaths. Along with its highly sensitive dose-response and unpredictable effects, many reports also suggest that this substance may be overly difficult to use safely. Therefore it is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.

Along with its highly sensitive dose-response and unpredictable effects, many reports also suggest that this substance may be overly difficult to use safely. Therefore it is highly advised to approach this poorly understood, potentially deadly [[psychedelic]] substance with the proper amount of precaution and [[Responsible drug use#Hallucinogens|harm reduction practices]] if choosing to use it.
