Deoxymethoxetamine is a recreational designer drug from the arylcyclohexylamine family, with dissociative effects

25B-NBOH is a derivative of the phenethylamine derived hallucinogen 2C-B which has been sold as a designer drug.

This appears to be the only mention of 25B-NBOH in the L.A. county coroner’s 150,000+ public records.

In Melbourne, Australia, five patients presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with altered conscious state following exposure to powder sold as “powdered LSD” at a party. A 24-year-old male who ingested the powder developed mydriasis, tachycardia, hypertension, and severe agitation requiring parenteral sedation. A 22-year-old male who insufflated the powder developed status epilepticus requiring intubation. Both patients developed acute kidney injury and one had rhabdomyolysis. In both cases, blood analysis detected 25-NBOH and no other illicit/licit drugs. Three other patients developed mild hallucinations. Hyperthermia was not documented in any case.
