GENERAL INFO
------------
DOB:  2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Bromoamphetamine.  The only chemical difference is
      the addition of an extra carbon to the chain.  This turns the
      phenethylamine into an alpha-methyl-phenethylamine (because the 
      addition of a carbon means attatching a methyl group to the
      alpha carbon of the phenethylamine) also called a phenylisopropylamine
      or simply an amphetamine.

ACTIONS
------- 
DOB has a potency of 1.0-3.0 mg and duration of 18-30 hours.  
Its very similar to LSD.  It seems to be more colorful than LSD 
and less dissociative than 2C-B based on some reports.  The 
index of safety is probably something like over 1,000 times 
the effective dose.
