Its seems like such an incredible oversight that it ends up OTC unlike codeine in many places when its far more traditionally neurochemically altering.
I’m glad its available and can be used once in a while as a poor-man’s ketamine to help recalibrate your affect and mental state and get the neuroplasticity shifting things around.
Who has experience(s) with DXM?
I am a huge fan of DXM. I have been taking it off and on for the past decade (I’m in my 40s now). The trips are really peaceful for me and relaxing. The best part is the afterglow; the time when the trip is over, but you still feel different. The afterglow feels like I’ve been reborn; it is mentally cleansing for me. I always feel so bright and happy the day after I do DXM.
Of the 3 main DXM formulations, I enjoy DXM HBr the most, followed by DXM Polistirex, then DXM freebase.
My advice for anyone about to try DXM: start with small doses; give your body time to clear everything before you trip again (at least 2 weeks; a month is better); most importantly, be in a safe headspace.
If you’re like me and you cannot stand the taste of Robitussin or Delsym, look into purchasing from RoboCough. They sell DXM (HBr and freebase) in pill form.
I have lots to say, but I won’t.
The best bet is do plenty of research and read trip reports. And don’t stop reading until you’ve heard about poor metabolizers and Olney’s Lesions (which might not be an issue, but evidently is for other dissos.) And then read some more :) Then you can make a somewhat informed decision about it…
My personal opinion, but dissociatives suck. They’re not fun, you’re not going to learn or gain anything from it or grow in any way, you’ll just be unable to move and have extremely unpleasant hallucinations for a few hours.
Did that shit exactly once, thought I was a fucking boat for 3 hours, really wanted to stop being a boat and couldn’t.
You do you, but honestly just get an actual psychedelic. Mushrooms have never let me down.
In my experience, it was a great way to kill a lot of brain cells really fast in exchange for a weird, strange trip.
Don’t do it.
I have had some neat trips. A few close calls in the beginnings of it all. You do not, under any circumstance, want to risk taking anything but the dxm itself. I cringe thinking about the internet reports where coricidin as a brand are involved.
It’s different from ketamine. Much different experience. Almost dirtier or… Hm, a bit more turbulence can be expected.
Done it 4 times. Its almost a nightmare for me. Like having to live through the movie Mad God. Got roboitch each time too.
Tied with Salvia as the 2 worst drugs I’ve done.
Say no to drugs mate, that stuff burn bain cells, I’ve a friend who gone nuts doing too much paychodelics and MDMA.
Cool story
I believe for him isn’t cool but who knows…
