Use and effects
In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists BOM's dose as greater than 200 mg orally and its duration as unknown.[1] Some indications of threshold central effects were observed at doses of 120 and 180 mg orally, but higher doses were not explored.[1] BOx drugs are known to be less potent than their non-β-substituted counterparts, so BOM might be active in the range of 200 to 400 mg orally, but this remains unknown.[1]
