DOx
DOx is a chemical class of substituted amphetamines, which includes many long lasting and very potent psychedelics.
DOx not only includes DOB, DOC, DOI and DOM, but also as number of lesser known substances, such as the Aleph and TMA series.
Almost all substances of the DOx series have a very long duration (12-30 hours), are extremely potent (active at just a few miligrams) and have a very slow onset.
They're often described as less spiritual and more stimulating compared to classic psychedelics.
History
The DOx series was first researched by Alexander and Ann Shulgin, who rated DOM as one of the most important phenethylamine compounds, the so called "magical half-dozen", in their book PiHKAL.
The most popular substance of this class is DOM, also known as STP (Serenity, Tranquility, and Peace), which first appeared in tablet form in 1967.
As of 2014, drugs of the DOx series are sometimes mistakenly sold as "acid" on blotters, and once again DOM is the most widespread compound among users of psychedelic amphetamines.

Chemistry and Pharmacology
DOx is a chemical class of substituted amphetamine derivatives featuring methoxy groups at the 2- and 5-positions of the phenyl ring, and a substituent such as alkyl or halogen at the 4- position of the phenyl ring. The compounds of this class are potent and long-lasting psychedelic drugs, and act as highly selective 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptor partial agonists.
Legal status
Most substances of the DOx class are controlled substances in almost every country.
