DOB sold as LSD: Need chemistry help!
SWIM linked up with a knowledgable friend who informed SWIM that the beautiful blotter SWIM found was not LSD, but DOB. The taste was said to be much more alkaline, and the trip is slightly more energetic, and less spiritual. Also seems to create some major crampage during comedown. DOB is apparently an "amphetamine analog" of LSD. Now how is this possible? SWIM read that LSD is a partial agonist of the serotonin receptor - meaning it amplifies the effect of endogenous serotonin, whereas Amphetamine is a dopamine receptor agonist, causing a huge letdown of dopamine. What does DOB do to the brain? Any chemistry/psychopharm gurus out there? How can it mimic the visual symmetry, body sensations similar to that of lucy?
Any links to articles, experiences, or general knowledge would help greatly!
