I am an adult and am going on a kayaking trip with my family. I want to know
about taking DXM to reach the first plague during the trip. I have done a few
different drugs but ironically I always avoided DXM because it was OTC so I
assumed it wouldn't measure up. But after reading I'm interested so my
questions are:

1) Would the first plateau be strong enough I should not kayak? I will be with my
family who would notice if I just fell in.

2) What drug is DXM most comparable to? It seemed like the "euphoria" was
described similar to an opiate.

3) How was your first plateau DXM experience? and finally

4) What have I left out that I should know?

Thanks for you guys' time I appriciate it. I expect some people might be like "WTF
DONT DO THAT SHIT IDEOT!!" but at least let me know why;)

Edit: Also I have already read both BL and Erowid's info on it

Whenever I read DXM and first I always think high schooler.

I had a bad experience with it and don't recommend it. 1st and 2nd aren't that special.

I would say beer, I feel asleep, woke up groggy and dizzy, did stuff crappier.


What should you know? Don't do it, its not worth it. Well just because I had a bad experience doesn't mean you won't like it. Go for it just to experience it, although I don't want to give the impression that its unique or even remotely good (might even throw up like I did from the additives). Spend your five dollars on something better, go buy some LSA or a Xanax instead.

maybe. But, if you have done the first plateau, then I was hoping for reasons/advice specific to the situation either way

sounds lame:P
 
definitely definitely dont take dxm and go kayaking with your family! haha i can only imagine how strange and awkward that would be. if you're on dxm there is absolutely no way you can hide it, you just look like a freak. if you want an idea of how strange and creepy you will look go stand in front of a mirror, bare your teeth, raise your eyebrows and pretend youve just witnessed a horrible accident. that is what mum will see. plus your limbs will be stiff and awkward and youll walk like a robot. and it would be pretty dangerous, on higher doses, even lower ones you can completely lose touch with reality. even maintaining a conversation can be virtually impossible, you just have no idea what is going on. kayaking would be a nightmare. if you are going to take it do it in a really safe and secure environment with close friends and make sure you dose correctly, to much dxm is horrible and potentially very dangerous.

the closest drug to dxm ive had is ketamine, i have heard that pcp is kind of similar.
 
lol good description cassa.

and to the OP as a general rule don't take something you aren't very familiar with before you go do something like kayaking. at least try it on your own first in a safe environment.
 
Taking it around your family is a bad idea unless they are ok with it. Kayaking is a bad idea too. I find the fist plateau to be uncomfortable and the third plateau far too nauseating. The second plateau has always been my sweet spot. DXM is most comparable to other dissociatives: ketamine, PCP and N2O. For me lower plateau doses of DXM feel like a psychedelic drunk, especially when combined with cannabis. DXM defiantly produces a trip so it is comparable to traditional psychedelics in that way. When I take DXM I usually either get nausea or diarrhea, pepto-bismal is manditory for my DXM experiences. I find it difficult to complete simple physical tasks like walking on DXM so paddling a kayak would probably be far too difficult and void of any pleasure.

ok. I think after what everyone had said I'm going to try it tonight to see how it is before I take it to the waters ha. I'm leaving tonight too so Ill report back just for fun. Maybe I'll remember to take pics too=D
 
The difference between 2nd and third plateau may not be a lot in mg's... but is a LOT different for a new user....

Trust me... treat dxm with the respect that you would mushrooms/acid
 
Or, just say you didn't know, had a bad cough and took all the cough syrup not expecting that to happen.

Its OTC so it might not look like bad stigma. But yes its pretty bad stuff IMO.
 
As your first experience with dxm, I wouldn't suggest doing any sort of activity. Maybe just chill around a room and listen to music with some friends. However, I feel that after some experience that the first and second plateaus are generally pretty manageable and you should be pretty capable of functioning as a normal human being. Although towards the further end of the second plateau you might start to robowalk hahaha. Go kayaking with your family and trip after.

Contrary to the general consensus here, I disagree, I think dxm is very enjoyable. The nausea can be prevented by taking (or popping) gel capsules. Dxm helps you loose reality and enjoy everything thats happening. Its gives you a warm sensation in your body. I like it every once in a while.
 
Got my vote for funniest thread title of the day.

If you've never done Dextromethorphan before, why, why in the world why, would you consider taking it for the first time while kayaking with your family? For one thing, DXM is a dissociative, and can make people act very strange. More importantly, kayaking requires a certain level of risk and skill, navigating waterways or rivers etc. This could potentially be dangerous. I'm not saying you aren't an experienced kayaker, but that under the influence of DXM you may not perform/function as well as you normally would. Simple tasks tend to be incredibly difficult and complicated while on DXM. Something to think about.
