Talk:T Butanol
From PsychonautWiki Archive
Revision as of 03:28, 24 February 2024 by >Otha(,)
It is strongly discouraged to combine these substances, particularly in common to heavy doses.
tert-Butyl alcohol is the simplest tertiary alcohol, with a formula of (CH3)3COH (sometimes represented as t-BuOH). Its isomers are 1-butanol, isobutanol, and butan-2-ol. tert-Butyl alcohol is a colorless solid, which melts near room temperature and has a camphor-like odor. It is miscible with water, ethanol and diethyl ether. Toxicity of single doses is low with high doses being sedative or anesthetic.
All claims in the section are not from sources and simply educated assumptions. It is assumed t butanol binds to the GABA A receptor producing its psychoactive effects. Unlike primary and secondary alcohols, its toxicity is lower due to it being a tertiary alcohol and not oxidised by alcohol dehydrogenase to toxic aldehydes or ketones.
Subjective effects
Subjective effects of t butanol are close to ethanol but more sedating.
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 PsychonautWikicontributors. 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
Sedation - In comparison to alcohol, t butanol is more sedating. This effects lasts hours after the ofset
Physical euphoria - In comparison to alcohol, t butanol has less pronounced physical euphoria in proportion to other effects.
Motor control loss - In comparison to alcohol, t butanol is significantly more impairing to motor control in proportion to other effects.
Pain relief - In comparison to alcohol, it has significantly more pain relieving properties.

Toxicity and harm potential
This toxicity and harm potential section is a stub.
As a result, it may contain incomplete or even dangerously wrong information! You can help by expanding upon or correcting it. Note: Always conduct independent research and use harm reduction practices if using this substance.
Although toxicity of single doses is low or comparable to alcohol, it is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this substance.
Lethal dosage: 3500mg/kg (rat, oral)
Tolerance and addiction potential
As with any other GABA A agonist, repeated use and tolerance with result in withdrawal symptoms akin to alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal upon sudden discontinuation.
