I took about 250mg of DXM in syrup form (Just had DXM, no gauf or acetaminophen) and smoked half a joint right after. For a few hours after, it felt almost identical to being drunk. No closed eye hallucinations, no music euphoria really, just felt like being drunk. No vomiting either.

What happened?
 
exactly what he said. maybe take a hit or two when you dose to help with nausea, but save any hardcore smoking for right after the DXM kicks in.
 
I didn't even get nauseous. Which is weird after everyone saying they puked. But I guess the music euphoria and stuff comes at a higher dose?
 
I've never puked from straight DXM (did once when the syrup had guaifenesin, but that's to be expected) so it's not surprising that you didn't puke.

If 250 mg didn't do anything for you, I would recommend bumping it up to 400 mg. I'm not sure what your weight is, but if you were disappointed with your last dose 400 might be right up your alley. There are several DXM dosing calculators online where you plug in your weight and the strength of your syrup and it'll tell you the amount of mg you need to consume to hit your desired plateau. And yeah, save the weed for a couple hours after dosing, once you really feel the stuff start to hit.

When you've taken enough, you'll know.
 
Well then congrats, you did it. That 'nice' feeling you talked about is a first plateau dose. There really aren't many effects at the first plateau range worth mentioning besides some slight movement and music euphoria (I don't get music euphoria at a first plateau dose), and certainly no CEVs or OEVs. Once you start getting into the mid-high second plateau range, the effects become more pronounced and noticeable. For your weight, 400 mg would be a solid second plateau dose.

Go HERE to determine what your ideal dose would be.
 
I don't know if congratulations are in place but ok. ^

Well yes feeling drunk-like is a low-dose effect so it was just a weak dose. You can try more to get the dissociative effect but possibly also more side-effects. There is great variation in how people react to it, if they vomit or get other side-effects or hardly any at all. Apparently it boils down to personal body chemistry, enzyme concentration / morphological proportions and metabolism pathways.
 
You should also drink some grapefruit juice on your next attempt. It does seem to have a nice potentiating effect (something about enzymes, I couldn't tell you anything more about it, but there's plenty of info floating around Google).
 
Yes there is a type of cumarines in there IIRC that induce the enzymes that metabolize DXM. It should speed up turning DXM into DXO, I think which can potentiate the experience but also make it end faster.

You shouldn't potentiate drugs until you get extensive experience with it first, that goes for potentiating opiates, using MAOIs and this as well. The results are more unpredictable so instead just increase the dose with every try until you feel like you are on the level you want. You can decide for yourself from there on out.

There's also an unwritten rule not to combine drugs the first time you try them and the reason is similar to the above. In the case of DXM (and other dissociatives) alcohol is especially recommended against since it can make you very dizzy and terribly nauseous. Cannabis is recommended by more people though, once you get a feel for DXM and if you have experience with cannabis you can try that.
 
I probably should have said 'could' instead of 'should' considering he's relatively inexperienced. Personally, I've never used DXM without GFJ, so I can't really speak for the degree of the difference it makes, but I imagine it's probably best to err on the side of caution.

I've never felt nauseous from DXM; even after 750mg in syrup you can definitely feel the shit in your stomach, and it gives me ridiculous liquid-shits, but no nausea. Of course you may very well feel nauseous, you'll have to find out for yourself, safe travels.<3

And yeah I agree that you should take 400mg next time.
 
You're lucky then, at 3rd plateau doses I have to take some herb to counteract nausea or I'm likely to vomit. And that shit fucking stains. (well, cannabinoids potentiate DXM anyway, so it's not like I wouldn't take'em with it even if I didn't need to). Heck, even with it, I still go through a period of 10-30min of severe nausea on the come up.
 
DXM, syrian rue and mescaline-cactus concoction are the three most disgusting things I have tasted I think... the taste of DXM alone starts making me nauseous but I get an unfair amount of side-effects from it in general.

• 1st Plateau: 1.5-2.5 mg/kg This is the weakest level. This feels slightly intoxicating, a little light headed. Some music euphoria is noticable

• 2nd Plateau: 2.5-7.5 mg/kg This level is often compared to being stoned and drunk at the sametime. When this might seem true, there is also a noticably strong "mental" high also. You can have trouble talking with slurring, and can have a hard time carrying on an indepth conversation, because your short-term memory can be temporarily impared. And occasionally you can have mild hallucinations.

• 3rd Plateau: 7.5-15 mg/kg This level has strong intoxications and hallucinations. Things can become very confusing as your thinking processes are disturbed. You can sometimes daze-off into your own world, and get lost in your own mind. Trips in this plateau can sometimes be unpleasant.

• 4th Plateau: +15 mg/kg This is the strongest level. This is a sub-anesthetic dose, and can be compared to a high dose of Ketamine. Your mind and body become seperated at this level and it can become dangerous psychologically, and physically. Personally I say that you should never have to go this high, it can be very dangerous. But whatever you do, NEVER go past 20 mg/kg (about 2000mg for a 220lb person), this can become very toxic and kill you.

Congrats, you reached the first plateau. :)
 
Hey bud, just a quick word about DXM since that's my latest kick. Don't start with this unless you're experienced with dissociatives and searching for something other than a pleasant feeling. DXM will give you a ride you'll never forget, and it won't end with the first experience.
