I've never been one for tripping on things such as DXM......or robotripping......ive always stuck to man made popular's and the more natural eartly substances..... But lately a friend has been talking about DXM and how hard of a trip it is.....I wouldnt do this as a recreational drug but more for personal experiance....... My question is DXM a harder trip than lets say mescaline.......Is it really as disassociative as people say or is this taken out of context.... I'm still unsure if i would like to venture to this because i like to stick to the more "mainstream"------
i urge you not to try it! you dont learn anything from the experience no matter how hard you trip!.(not like lsd, or even weed) it just makes you feel lost in a dream and feeling terrible, not to mention, no ability to focus or concentrate, iv done 300 and 600 mg within a week of each other, about a week ago. i still feel like everything is interconected and feeling like i whant my perception to return to the air i see around me, its more distancy and dreamy now. this week feels like a month, and the week feels like im literly living a nightmare, with sudden rushing feelings of total fear like it is a nightmare. i whant to wake up. not to mention, i found out the school has sent a note to all of my teachers requesting an assesment of my behaviour and work. (a teacher must of told the principle i was "weird" or on drugs) its not a fun trip either, you just leave the room your in mentally and forget your a human and the imagination of outside is like alien landscapes. (sounds fun, but has a major sickly feel and not know whats anything anymore).
man you (and many others on this forum) have to stop assuming drugs like this will efect other people as they have effected you. Some people say they have experienced great learnign experiences. personally, i learn about the mind and thus the drug was imperative one to try, and tought me a fair bit. the worst experience i got of the drug was when i wanted to go to sleep and the minutes dragged on like hours. but at the same time, i had some intense and fun experiences playing videogames and talking to people. while i didnt at any point forget who i was, or where i was, i did lose the perception of things like what my room was and the like. this tought me a lot about perception and the way the mind works. but of course, to someone who has no bearing of these things, such a loss of percetion could totally fuck your brain out! drugs affect everyone differently! never tell someone how a drug will effect them only how it effected you! (unless you know enough about neurology to generalise an experience without implying or alluding to subjective observations). i urge you to TRY it! only then can you decide whether you like it or not. dont do it twice in a week like peter, but try it. at lower doses you will prolly in fact find it very fun! but each to his own. the higher doses have less potential for fun, but none of us know who you really are and what you like to experience, so none of us have the right to say how you will find the experience. if you have control of your emotions, chances are youll be able to ride through DXM. but dont expect it to be like your friend describes! caus its really different for everyone. eg, i never tripped out from it, but ive read many reports of people getting visuals or having their imagination skew their environment into all sorts of things. in conclusion, the best mindset to take it with is exactly as you propose - as a learning experience, as opposed to trying to get recreation from it. this way you can look at it more objectively and not be disturbed by the obscurity of the world you enter
yes, however. even erowid states that it is an unpleasant experience for "most". but ofcourse "most" isnt everyone. i guess it must have been "ok" the first lower dose i took, other wise i wouldnt have taken a larger dose, huh. if you decide to go ahead and try it start with 300mg or less.
I've had many 750mg experiences and they all kicked ass. I dont do the crap anymore because I got a little fried off of it over the course of a few years. its a VERY insane drug if you dose alot. if you love becoming insane for 8 hours, dose .
Lower doses are fun for more people. Yet higher doses can really fuck you up, I still find it fun, but after my many many many DXM trips, it starts to change you, its a dissasocitive, so it distances you from you're body, you become unalert, unaware, and start to live a dream. It's almost like an animal instict kinda thing, when someone startles you, you get terrified, try and get away, sometimes it can make you violent, if you can even still walk. I find I get violent with me 300-500mg doses, after that the trip turns to hardcore and I cant even get up to become violent.
DXM is different from other psychoactives in that it has completely different effects depending on the dosage, called "plateaus." It is only a real dissociative on the fourth (and final) plateau, which is a huge dose that normally leads to unpleasant feelings and an extremely intense trip (think ego death, etc.), and may put you in a coma or otherwise land you in a hospital. The third plateau, still a pretty big dose, is a pretty hard trip that can be good OR bad, but it's not really considered a dissociative. I'd suggest that if you do try DXM, you start off with no higher than a 2nd-plateau dose (check out erowid.org.. they have some links that will tell you about each plateau in detail). You'll probably want to get used to the feeling of DXM in your system, because it's really not like other drugs. You will probably have some euphoria and deep thoughts on this dose, with some visuals and that whole shebang. I've never taken mescaline, so I'm not so sure about the comparison thereof, but DXM is definitely a strange, different trip from any other I've ever had.
Well if i were to proceed with this I would most likely go for the third platue.......Ive never had a bad trip ON ANYTHING......so i think i would be safe.....anywho.....Id rather be more out of it than in it if you get my drift
