2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM), also known as STP (standing for "Serenity, Tranquility, and Peace" and/or other phrases), is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families.[4][5][1][6][7] It is generally taken orally.[5][1][6]

DOM was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, and later described in his book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story (1991).[1] It is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States, and is similarly controlled in other parts of the world.[1] Internationally, it is a Schedule I drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.[8]
