'''4-methyl-2,5,beta-trimethoxyphenethylamine''' (also known as '''BOD''' ) is a lesser-known [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] and [[psychoactive class::entactogen]] substance of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] class. BOD is a member of the [[BOx]] family of compounds which are relatively unknown, and have only recently found sales in the research chemical community. | '''4-methyl-2,5,beta-trimethoxyphenethylamine''' (also known as '''BOD''' ) is a lesser-known [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] and [[psychoactive class::entactogen]] substance of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] class.

It gained little popularity and even by 2019 it is still relatively unknown.From the few reports of it, BOD seems to be very much like the [[DOx]] family compounds in terms of it being dose sensitive, long lasting, intense, and very stimulating albeit much less potent. However, its chemical structure is related to compounds of the trimethoxyamphetamine class, and it may share a similar pharmacological profile to both. | It gained little popularity and even by 2019 it is still relatively unknown.From the few reports of it, BOD seems to be very much like the [[DOx]] family compounds in terms of it being dose sensitive, long lasting, intense, and very stimulating albeit much less potent.

The geometry of BOD can be described as being more like [[2C-B]], [[LSD]], or [[DOM]], than to psychedelic mushrooms, [[LSA]] in terms of its appearence. It is highly intricate and synthetic, algorithmic in nature with sharp edges and a structured appearence. It is highly smooth varies with many colors and brightness, at higher doses the geometry completely makes up ones field of view and is consistent in its shapes and designs. At strong enough doses BOD consistenly produces [[level 8A]] geometry which becomes not only visual but multisensory. | The geometry of BOD can be described as being more like [[2C-B]], [[LSD]], or [[DOM]], than to psychedelic mushrooms, [[LSA]] in terms of its appearence.

*'''[[Effect::Internal | *'''[[Effect::Internal hallucinations]]''' (''[[effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - In comparison to other [[psychedelic]]s such as [[LSD]], BOD is extremely high in internal hallucinations when approaching higher dosages. They are more common within dark environments and can be comprehensibly described through its [[Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as lucid in believability, interactive in style, new experiences in content, autonomous in controllability, [[geometry]]-based in style and almost exclusively of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in their overall theme. | ||
*'''[[Effect:: External hallucinations]]''' - These are often present during the peak and can are almost entirely [[geometry]]-based in style, with very little theme to them unlike the internal hallucinations.

*'''[[Effect::Increased | *'''[[Effect::Increased sense of humor ]]''' -This is one of the more noticeable effects of BOD, and is more pronounced than most [[psychoactive class::psychedelics]]. Strangely it is very similar to the effects of cannabinoids such as [[cannabis]] | ||
*'''[[Effect::Emotion | *'''[[Effect::Emotion enhancement]]''' -While BOD produces a mostly euphoric state, like most psychedelics the high can change quite rapidly from euphoric to dysphoric merely due to emotional changes. This is an intense state which is less controllable than in other clear headed psychedelics and can feel quite strange and scary if one is unprepared. | ||

*'''[[Effect::Unity and | *'''[[Effect::Unity and interconnectedness]]''' | ||
BOD produces a unique state of unity which is subjectively described as a state of realizing the unity of the organisms which make up oneself. Rather than a unity with beings outside of the self there is a strong sense of being in total interconnection through the senses and through all the cells in ones body. This expeirence is rather profound and is almost always combined with synaesthesia, and level 8A geometry. | BOD produces a unique state of unity which is subjectively described as a state of realizing the unity of the organisms which make up oneself.

*'''[[Effect::Existential | *'''[[Effect::Existential self-realization]]''' | ||
BOD produces self realization in a way that can be considered more intense than substances such as [[LSD]].

===Lethal dosage=== | ===Lethal dosage=== | ||
The highest dose consumed of BOD that has been reported so far is around 70mg. BOD has very little likihood of being a full agonist of 5-HT2A but that does not mean it is a purely safe psychedelic. While most dose ranges display common doses at 20-30mg, due to the substances response curve and its slow come up, the dose information currently available may not be correct, as other subtances Shulgin studied he found inactive were actually active at much higher doses. | The highest dose consumed of BOD that has been reported so far is around 70mg.
