'''2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine''' (also known as '''DOM''' and '''STP''' or '''"Serenity, Tranquility and Peace"''') is a lesser-known [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::Substituted amphetamine|amphetamine]] class. DOM is a member of the [[DOx]] family of compounds which are known for their high potency, long duration, and mixture of [[psychedelic]] and [[stimulant]] effects. It produces its effects by acting on [[serotonin]] receptors in the brain.

Over the years, DOM has gained a reputation for being a highly dose-sensitive psychedelic that is often sold on blotting paper and known for its strong visuals, body load and neutral, analytical headspace. Many reports also indicate that the effects of this chemical may be overly difficult to use for those who are not already experienced with psychedelics.
