'''2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine''' ('''DOM''') is a psychedelic drug and a substituted [[amphetamine]]. It is known for its potent hallucinogenic effects and is a member of the [[phenethylamine]] class of compounds.

== Chemical Structure and Properties ==

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine is a [[substituted amphetamine]] with the chemical formula C12H19NO2. It features a methoxy group at the 2 and 5 positions and a methyl group at the 4 position of the phenyl ring. The presence of these groups contributes to its psychoactive properties.

== Pharmacology ==

DOM acts primarily as a [[serotonin receptor]] agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor. This interaction is responsible for its psychedelic effects, which include altered perception, mood, and cognition. The drug is known for its long duration of action, often lasting 14 to 20 hours.

== History and Usage ==

DOM was first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]] in the 1960s. It gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s as a recreational drug. Shulgin documented its synthesis and effects in his book ''[[PiHKAL]]: A Chemical Love Story''.

== Effects ==

The effects of DOM are similar to those of other psychedelics such as [[LSD]] and [[mescaline]]. Users report visual hallucinations, altered sense of time, and changes in mood and thought patterns. Due to its potency, the effects can be overwhelming, and it is considered a "heavy" psychedelic.

== Legal Status ==

DOM is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States, meaning it is illegal to manufacture, buy, possess, or distribute without a DEA license. It is similarly controlled in many other countries.

== Related Compounds ==

DOM is part of a family of compounds known as the [[2C family]], which includes other psychedelics such as [[2C-B]], [[2C-I]], and [[2C-E]]. These compounds share a similar chemical structure and mechanism of action.
