==Subjective effects==
The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] contributors. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.
{{Preamble/SubjectiveEffects}}
{{effects/base


===Physical effects===
|{{effects/physical|
*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the user, 25N-NBOMe is usually considered to be very energetic and stimulating. For most people, this substance induces a unique type of physical stimulation which can be described as feeling extremely energetic but in a way which does not force the tripper to move unless they genuinely choose to do so. For others, however, the stimulation can be quite uncontrollable, occasionally resulting in bodily shakes and a grinding of the teeth comparable to that of [[MDMA]] and traditional stimulants such as [[amphetamine]].
*'''[[Effect::Perception of bodily lightness]]''' - In terms of the body’s perceived weight, this substance consistently leaves people feeling extremely light, often to the point of total weightlessness.
*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' - The "body high" itself can be described as a mild, all-encompassing, soft but euphoric tingling sensation. This tingling sensation is also accompanied by spontaneous rushes of [[Physical euphoria|euphoria]] that become longer and more drawn out proportional to the dosage consumed.
**'''[[Effect::Physical euphoria]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Tactile enhancement]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Bodily control enhancement]]''' - When combined with stimulation, this component manifests as a strong drive to partake in physical activities.
*'''[[Effect::Bodily control enhancement]]''' - When combined with stimulation, this component manifests as a strong drive to partake in physical activities.
*'''[[Effect::Mouth numbing]]''' - Assuming the substance has been taken [[sublingual]]ly, the very first physical effect which a person will notice immediately after sublingual absorption is a strong, unpleasant metallic chemical taste. This is accompanied by a very distinct feeling of general numbness of the tongue and mouth which can stay for up to an hour after the blotter paper has been consumed.
*'''[[Effect::Abnormal heartbeat]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Dosage independent intensity]]''' - While the reasons for this are not understood, many reports suggest that this substance can produce unexpectedly strong or weak effects even when taken at the seemingly same dose in an unpredictable manner.{{citation needed}} This may contribute to the relative risk it is poses compared to most other psychedelics.
*'''[[Effect::Synaesthesia]]''' - In its fullest manifestation, this is a very rare and non-reproducible effect.

25N-NBOMe (also known as 2C-N-NBOMe and N-Bomb, although this term is used broadly to refer to the entire 25x-NBOMe family) is novel synthetic psychedelic substance of the phenethylamine chemical class. It produces an array of visually-dominant and stimulating psychedelic effects when administered.

The name 25I-NBOMe, which short-hand for 2C-I-NBOMe, is a derivative of the phenethylamine psychedelic 2C-N. It was discovered in 2004 by Ralf Heim at the Free University of Berlin[4] and subsequently investigated by a team at Purdue University led by David E. Nichols.[5]

25N-NBOMe has a notably shorter duration than the rest of the 25x-NBOMe series with a total duration of 6 hours and a peak duration of 2 hours.[6] It is moderately active at a dose of one milligram, and two milligrams provide a strong/heavy trip.[7] This substance is considerably less potent when compared to the more popular NBOMe compunds such as 25B-NBOMe, 25I-NBOMe and 25C-NBOMe, all which lead to strong experiences at doses above 1mg.[citation needed] It is worth noting that compounds of the NBOMe family are not orally active and should be administered sublingually by placing and holding it into one's mouth and allowing it to absorb over a period of 15-25 minutes.

This substance had no history of human use before being sold online as a designer drug in 2010.[citation needed] Extremely little is known about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 25N-NBOMe in humans, and many members of the 25x-NBOMe series have been associated with deaths and hospitalizations. Along with its highly sensitive dose-response and unpredictable effects, many reports also suggest that this substance may be overly difficult to use safely. Therefore it is highly advised to approach this poorly understood psychedelic substance with the proper amount of precaution and harm reduction practices if choosing to use it.

Chemistry

25N-NBOMe or 2C-N-NBOMe is a serotonergic N-benzyl derivative of the substituted phenethylamine psychedelic known as 2C-N. 25N-NBOMe is a substituted phenethylamine with methoxy groups CH3O- attached to carbons R2 and R5 as well as a nitro group NO2- attached to carbon R4. It differs from 2C-N structurally through a substitution on the amine (NH2) with a 2-methoxybenzyl (BOMe) group as shown in the image to the right. 25N-NBOMe shares this 2-methoxybenzyl substitution with other chemicals of the NBOMe family. This NBOMe addition contains a methoxy ether CH3O- bound to a benzene ring at R2.

Pharmacology

Further information: Serotonergic psychedelic

25N-NBOMe likely has efficacy at the 5-HT2A receptor where it is assumed to act as a partial agonist. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

There is insufficient scientific research to determine this compound's true nature as the pharmacological properties of 25N-NBOMe have not been described in the scientific literature, but only in anecdotal reports.[8]

Subjective effects

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.

Physical effects

Visual effects

Cognitive effects

Multi-sensory effects

Transpersonal effects

Toxicity and harm potential

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 25N-NBOMe use have not been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because 25N-NBOMe is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people within the psychonaut community who have tried 25N-NBOMe suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).

Users should be very careful and consider that ingesting 2mg+ of NBOMe series chemicals have proven fatal in some cases. Although there are no reported deaths caused by 25N-NBOMe at this time, it is a rare research chemical with very little history of human usage and is therefore potentially fatal at heavy dosages.

It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this drug.

Tolerance and addiction potential

25N-NBOMe is not habit-forming and the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.

Tolerance to the effects of 25N-NBOMe are built almost immediately after ingestion. After that, it takes about 3 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 7 days to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 25N-NBOMe presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all psychedelics]], meaning that after the consumption of 25N-NBOMe all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.

Dangerous interactions

This dangerous interactions section is a stub.

As such, it may contain incomplete or invalid information. You can help by expanding upon or correcting it.

Although many substances are safe on their own, they can become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with other substances. The list below contains some common potentially dangerous combinations, but may not include all of them. Certain combinations may be relatively harmless in low doses of each but can still increase the risk of unpredictable injury or death. Independent research should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.

Legality

This legality section is a stub.

As such, it may contain incomplete or wrong information. You can help by expanding it.

  • Brazil - Possession, production and sale is illegal as it is listed on Portaria SVS/MS nº 344.[10]
  • Latvia: 25N-NBOMe is a Schedule I controlled substance.[11]
  • United Kingdom: On 10 June 2014, all NBOMes became Class A drugs which means that they’re illegal to have, give away or sell.

  • United States: 25N-NBOMe is unscheduled in the United States. It may be considered an analog of 2C-N (which is a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act). As such, the sale for human consumption or the use for illicit non-medical or industrial intents and purposes could be prosecuted as crimes under the Federal Analog Act.
