I've got no idea how shit like this get spread around the internet or if it even makes any sense at all but it's certainly provides a fistfull of hillarity. Nice one
Chemical Shaman-I made that post in haste and I'm sorry. I would like to clear up what I meant so that there is no confusion.
Firstly, I would like to say that I have little or no knowledge of DXM: I barely studied chemistry, I've only RoboTripped twice, I've never preformed the extraction, I've never ordered DXM through the mail...hell, I don't even have the pre-requisites to be a self-professed 'Shaman'.
I guess what I'm saying here is that I would very much appreciate if you did not use the laughing icon again in response to my post. There is only so much e-humiliation a man can bear.
I beleive that extracting DXM powder from Robo DX removes the HBr from the end of the compound.
This site lists the ingredients in Robo DX.
The active ingredient is DXM-HBr 30mg/10ml
I think I was wrong in my previous post, I thought that DXM through the mail would come in the form of plain Dextromethorphan, without the HydroBromide. However, after visting two Reserch Chemical sites(I'm not allowed to post the URL's) I realised that they only sell Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide.
All the extraction methods I have read for DXM have stated that the chemistry removes the -HBr compound leaving plain DXM. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the URl's so I'm not going too, but I'm sure with a little effort you could find them. I have included the two following quotes which are cheifly responsible for making me beleive that -HBr interfears with the cleaness of the trip
...At this point you can either evaporate the naptha using a blowdryer, in a glass pan or bowl to produce DXM freebase powder, or proceed with the instructions below to produce DXM hydrocitrate, which I recommend over the freebase form. Neither form contains bromide, making both a much healthier form of DXM than DXM HBR...
...Some feel this is a far cleaner and more spiritual trip than using syrup or powder.
That is about all I have to say. I'm very sorry to everyone who had to read it. I guess it just illustrates how worked up I got because of a stupid little laughing icon. I'm done now.
If any of this is wrong, I would be grateful if anyone corrects me.
Oh, by the way, that's a lovely photo of you in your profile 'Chemical Shaman'.
