It is quite real, a recently created psychedelic. The name comes from the appearance of the molecule.

The experiences of this can be found at www.erowid.com

If you google for Bromo-DragonFLY you only get this article and mirrors of it (and one post on the Shroomery). Similar result with Bromo-benzodifuranyl-isopropylamine. Hmm.. 80.203.115.12 10:30, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

try DOB, quite more common of a name for this substance, largely researched on erowid and phikal.

DOB has an entry, they seem to be very similar but not quite the same chemical. --Heah (talk) 15:07, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Please check out this thread at bluelight if you're still having doubts: http://www.bluelight.nu/vb/showthread.php?threadid=167978 All the sources are listed at the bottom of the post. -n

From my understanding, it is like taking LSD, but the effects last much longer and are quite psychological (ie. intrapersonal revelations, lots of thinking, not so many visuals).

I can assure you (<--whoever said it was DOB), Bromo-DragonFLY (Bromo-benzodifuranyl-isopropylamine) is not the same chemical as DOB (4-bromo-2,5-Dimethoxy-amphetamine)--Ddhix 2002 09:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Error in the article

"It is not illegal anywhere in the world at this time although it may be considered a controlled substance analogue under US and Australian drug laws"

Actually, from reading the Misuse Of Drugs Act:

any compound (not being methoxyphenamine or a compound for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (a) above) structurally derived from phenethylamine, an N-alkylphenethylamine, alpha-methylphenethylamine, an N-alkyl-alpha-methylphenethylamine, alpha-ethylphenethylamine, or an N-alkyl-alpha-ethylphenethylamine by substitution in the ring to any extent with alkyl, alkoxy, alkylenedioxy or halide substitutents, whether or not further substituted in the ring by one or more other univalent substituents;

Bromo-DragonFLY is an "alpha-methylphenethylamine" with a "halide substituent" on the ring, so it must be illegal. I will change the article accordingly. Mark PEA 22:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Bromo-DragonFLY does NOT fall under the definition above because the furano-parts are fused to the ring, they are not "univalent substituents". Cacycle 22:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

"whether or not further substituted in the ring by one or more other univalent substituents" - I may be misinterpreting it, but it seems that it doesn't matter if it is a univalent substituent or not. Mark PEA 09:18, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
