Many street users of LSD are often under the impression that blotter paper which is actively hallucinogenic can only be LSD because that is the only chemical with low enough doses to fit on a small square of blotter paper. While it is true that LSD requires lower doses than most other hallucinogens, blotter paper is capable of absorbing a much larger amount of material. The DEA performed a [[chromatographic]] analysis of blotter paper containing [[2C-C]] which showed that the paper contained a much greater concentration of the active chemical than typical LSD doses, although the exact quantity was not determined.<ref name="microgram november 2005">{{Cite journal |journal=Microgram Bulletin |date=November 2005 |volume=38 |issue=11 |author=United States Drug Enforcement Administration |url=http://www.justice.gov/dea/pr/micrograms/2005/mg1105.pdf |title=Bulk Marijuana in Hazardous Packaging in Chicago, Illinois |access-date=August 20, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018052300/http://www.justice.gov/dea/pr/micrograms/2005/mg1105.pdf |archive-date=October 18, 2012}}</ref> Blotter LSD mimics can have relatively small dose squares; a sample of blotter paper containing [[2,5-Dimethoxy-4-chloroamphetamine|DOC]] seized by [[Concord, California]] police had dose markings approximately 6&nbsp;mm apart.<ref name="microgram december 2007">{{Cite journal |journal=Microgram Bulletin |date=December 2007 |volume=40 |issue=12 |author=United States Drug Enforcement Administration |url=http://www.justice.gov/dea/pr/micrograms/2007/mg1207.pdf |title=SMALL HEROIN DISKS NEAR GREENSBORO, GEORGIA |access-date=August 20, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121017234332/http://www.justice.gov/dea/pr/micrograms/2007/mg1207.pdf |archive-date=October 17, 2012}}</ref> Several deaths have been attributed to 25I-NBOMe.<ref name="Erowid25I-NBOMe">{{cite web |url=https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/2ci_nbome/2ci_nbome_death.shtml |title=25I-NBOMe (2C-I-NBOMe) Fatalities / Deaths |publisher=Erowid |access-date=February 28, 2016 |author=Erowid |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305193143/https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/2ci_nbome/2ci_nbome_death.shtml |archive-date=March 5, 2016}}</ref><ref name="NY Daily news">{{cite news| vauthors=Hastings D |title=New drug N-bomb hits the street, terrifying parents, troubling cops |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/new-synthetic-hallucinogen-n-bomb-killing-users-cops-article-1.1336327 |access-date=May 7, 2013 |newspaper=New York Daily News |date=May 6, 2013 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510103039/http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/new-synthetic-hallucinogen-n-bomb-killing-users-cops-article-1.1336327|archive-date=May 10, 2013}}</ref><ref name="Ireland injuries">{{cite news|vauthors=Feehan C |title=Powerful N-Bomb drug – responsible for spate of deaths internationally – responsible for hospitalisation of six in Cork |url=http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/powerful-nbomb-drug-responsible-for-spate-of-deaths-internationally-responsible-for-hospitalisation-of-six-in-cork-34384507.html|access-date=January 22, 2016|newspaper=Irish Independent|date=January 21, 2016 |archive-date=April 12, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190412203933/https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/powerful-nbomb-drug-responsible-for-spate-of-deaths-internationally-responsible-for-hospitalisation-of-six-in-cork-34384507.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="ACMD Report2">{{cite web |vauthors=Iversen L |title=Temporary Class Drug Order Report on 5-6APB and NBOMe compounds |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/204808/J_TCDO_report_on_5-6APB_and_NBOMe_compounds.pdf |website=Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs |publisher=Gov.Uk |access-date=June 16, 2013 |date=May 29, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921234700/https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/204808/J_TCDO_report_on_5-6APB_and_NBOMe_compounds.pdf |archive-date=September 21, 2013}}</ref>
