DXM is a real drug, you just have to be educated about it and in a good environment to truly have an awesome high. The same goes for any drug, but it's especially true for DXM.
Ahh devil ether... it makes you behave like the village drunk in some early irish novel, numb tounge, loss of all basic motor skills, the mind recoils in horror as it tries to communicate with your limbs but they do not respond........
Ether is pretty intense. I would compare it to duster, which is equally as stupid, and dangerous, if not more-so. It's not really fun, it's more of something to say you did, for bragging rights, but I don't really enjoy the feeling I get from it. I personally wouldn't touch it again...after inhaling it I thought I could actually feel my body saying, "this isn't good for you." Haha.
Do ether, and you will end up writing like this guy for the rest of your life! Nah, not really, but its not a healthy choice. He is right about nitrous. Basically harmless, lots of fun, i'd say go with that, fuck the ether. The Mushroom Man
