NBOMe

NBOMe is a stimulant and hallucinogen.

It's also known as N-Bomb, Solaris, smiles, or 25-1. It is sometimes sold as (fake) LSD so you may use it by mistake thinking you’ve used LSD. NBOMe is usually sold in tabs of blotting paper (similar to LSD), and is taken by placing under the tongue (or inside the cheek). Sometimes it’s used nasally, injected as a solution and smoked as a powder.

The effects of NBOMe include: increased heart rate, pupil dilation, confusion, trouble sleeping, sensory and perception distortion, and feelings of extreme happiness or paranoia.

An overdose of NBOMe, can result in seizures or loss of consciousness. Call an ambulance if any of these symptoms occur.

If you use NBOMe make sure you know how to be as safe as possible:

  • Only take a 1/4 dose, to begin with, so you can judge the effects

  • Avoid taking multiple tabs especially if unsure if taking real LSD or not

  • Avoid using alone

  • Being with someone else who has used before or with someone who is not using can help you stay safe

  • Avoid using if you have mental health concerns

  • Call an ambulance if you are worried about anything

It is important to know that you only need really small amounts of NBOMe to get the effects. This means that if you’ve had a bit and don’t feel anything taking the same amount again might mean you suddenly get really strong effects.
