You can't expect certain things to happen on ANY trip. You just have to go along with the vibe of the trip. It sounds like you wanted to get some deep insight into yourself, but instead your brain wanted to do art and be creative. You shouldn't complain about it...enjoy it, go with it, let the drug be your guide to enlightenment. Maybe the DXM was showing you that you're a talented painter and you don't know it yet. If you have a drive to do something because of a psychedelic, just go along with it, don't be so controlling expecting a substance to obey your every whim. Maybe the trip was trying to tell you that you shouldn't be so controlling in your life and to broaden your horizons. The fact of the matter is...The high itself wasn't disappointing...YOU made yourself disappointed by trying to control, AND EXPECTING TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL, a psychedelic substance. DXM can OWN you and make you it's dirty little bitch QUICK if you take 2 much and aren't careful. Just know the dose that you are taking and how strongly it will affect you, then buckle up and enjoy the ride. Psychedelics can definitely be tools for mind expansion...BUT YOU'RE TRYING TO USE A CHAINSAW TO HAMMER IN A NAIL...it just ain'ta gonna work fo ya jethro. Wanna have a good, insightful DXM trip...Take my advice...
Take 1 4oz bottle of Long Acting DXM ONLY Robitussin brand syrup. (about 350-400mgs)
Wait about 45 minutes to start feeling it...
Download the album MOON SAFARI by the french band AIR.
Smoke a nice joint to yourself while listening to the music...
BLAM!!! You'll be in the middle of an awesome DXM experience which just got made WAY better by the joint that you smoked. Now all you have to do is kick back, listen to the tunes, and visit the moon...trust me you're on your way.
DXM + weed = The only way to take DXM. It helps with the nausea, makes the trip 10X more powerful and insightful, def makes it more euphoric. I won't even take DXM if I don't have at least a gram to smoke during.
If you run into problems on a trip and get 2 high, or scared, or anxious, or whatever...All you need is a benzodiazepine...AKA Xanex, Valium, Klonopin, etc....Put it under your tongue, let it dissolve, you'll be calm in 5-10 minutes. It will kill the intensity of the trip tho, so only take it if you must. It is a nice exit strategy tho.
That being said...Go along with the trip next time...It may show you a part of yourself that you've never had the opportunity to meet...If you want insight from psychedelics, you need to listen A LOT closer to what they're telling you. You could be the next Salvador Dali and never know because you didn't listen to the DXM telling you to express yourself thru art. THAT would be a shame...
