BOD, or 4-methyl-2,5,beta-trimethoxyphenethylamine is a molecule of the [[substituted phenethylamine]] class. BOD was the first BOx compound shulgin studied and it is the beta-methoxy analog of [[2cd]]. Shulgin only looked into 4 [[BOx]] compounds of which only [[BOB]] and [[BOD]] were found to have psychedelic and entacteogenic effects. | BOD, or 4-methyl-2,5,beta-trimethoxyphenethylamine is a molecule of the [[substituted phenethylamine]] class.

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.
