2C-B HBr/ 20mg (insufflated) + MXE, First Time Used / Melted My Face Off

I haven't used MXE very often, but I've abused DXM for about 20 years on a nearly daily basis. The first time I used MXE it didn't seem to do anything to me - but I was on a hit of acid and had used DXM recreationally about 2 days before. I carefully took up to 50mg of the MXE with no effect, then snorted another 50mg with not much to show for it - but it could have been difficult to notice the effects because of the LSD.

Recently, my friend C got some really, really high quality MXE that is almost snow-like, almost like cocaine, and is very potent. Last week he and I went and watched the movie Gravity in 3D while on 3.5g shrooms and 50mg MXE - my first time on shrooms - and it was amazing but also too intense and very, very overwhelming (especially with almost 50 people in the theater with us). While I would definitely do shrooms and MXE together again, doing it in a public theater while watching a 3D movie was probably too much. ha. C said that the MXE potentiated the trip crazily. He's a very experienced psychonaut and estimated the experience we had was somewhere above 6g equivalent of shrooms.

Yesterday my friend got 2C-B for the first time - something he'd been searching for for many months (it's the HBr version). He had been up for about 36 hours on a meth binge and had been on lots of MXE, so we agreed it was definitely a bad idea for him to try the 2C-B at that point. Impulsively, though, I thought I'd try some as an "experiment" to see how it was, since neither of us had had it before (but had read about it quite a bit).

Up to that point last night, I had:

7:30pm: 50mg MXE (oral)
8g good-quality kratom

The MXE potentiated the kratom greatly and I was getting tons of euphoria. Then:

8:30pm: 2 whippets

These were awesome, but seemed to stop the euphoria I was getting from the kratom and instead I got the awesome orgasm-type euphoria from the whippets for a long, long time. C took three whippets and more MXE. We were now out of whippets.

9:00pm: 3 hits of high-grade marijuana (Blue Dream)

10:30pm: 30mg MXE (snorted)

I was feeling pretty good at this point, and it would have been a nice end to the night, considering that C had been up for so long and yet he wasn't tired yet.

Then I suggested maybe I would try snorting about 5-10mg of 2C-B and see what it was like. C was very fucked up and tripping on MXE but he successfully weighed out 20mg of the new 2C-B for me - I was only planning on snorting a little of it, though, so I separated out a small line from what he had weighed. It was very white.

11pm: 4mg 2C-B (snorted)

It burned a bit, but not too bad. As bad as meth probably - like a hot iron nail in your nose, perhaps. Maybe not quite that bad.

within 10-15 minutes I began feeling euphoria build quite quickly. I decided to have a little more:

11:20pm: 2mg 2C-B (snorted)

the euphoria continued to build. I decided to snort a little more, this time in the other nostril:

12:00am: 6mg 2C-B (snorted)

Again, the burn wasn't too bad. The burn of my nose did seem to get worse and hurt a lot but it was OK, easily bearable. I began to hallucinate as if I were on shrooms or maybe 2 hits of LSD, but in a different way... Everything was sort of squiggling around, my vision was fuzzy. I kept thinking I must not be wearing my glasses, because everything was sort of neon fuzzy and sparkly. The euphoria was pretty good - wide spectrum.

I told C that this was what I always thought MDMA was supposed to feel like. When I took MDMA for the first time last month (150mg), I was disappointed - it was nice, but it felt like a fire of euphoria in my stomach that burned up and out, but didn't go through my whole body, and didn't seem like what people always said it was like. But this... the euphoria was wide and broad and deep. Not only through my body, but mentally: the euphoria seemed to light up areas I never knew existed in my mind and body. Whereas the euphoria of MDMA was like sparks that flecked the lower half of a glass, 2C-B seemed to be a shower of sparks that covered the whole inside of the glass. It was nothing like the warm fuzziness of opiates, but more like DXM.

12:30am: 3 more hits of Blue Dream

There was the tempting little pile of 2C-B left on the scale that I had left behind, and I kept thinking about snorting it...

I decided to snort the rest, even though I had to be home in 4 hours before my dad woke up for work. C said the duration should be 6-8 hours, which kinda worried me, but he promised he'd give me a couple of xanax to take home with me to get me asleep. Little did I know that I wouldn't need them - good thing, too, because I forgot to ask for them before I left later.

1:00am: 8mg 2C-B (snorted) (total 20mg)

I obviously crossed some sort of threshold when I snorted this last bit. I did not think it would be like this. First of all, as soon as I snorted the last 8mg 2CB, the pain was tremendous and shot up into my eye and around the orbit of my left eye (the side I snorted on) and all up the left side of my face. My nostril protested vigorously and it felt like I had been shot in the face by a gun.

As soon as I snorted it, I saw my vision on the left side of my face began to waver and then flow within 5 seconds. I looked up and saw that my entire vision was waving around and flowing like nothing I had ever, ever, seen on LSD, DXM or shrooms. Within 5 minutes the entire world was melting actively and huge portions of my vision were moving around on their own. It was quite scary but I had read somewhat about this and just rode with it.

The euphoria was cranked up so high that it almost wasn't euphoria anymore but instead this tight ball of intensity being crammed down into me. The euphoria and mood changes and internal feelings were so strong that it made me think I should be about to vomit from the intensity, but my stomach wasn't upset and I didn't. It just seemed so strong that I felt I shouldn't have been able to stand it without puking or going crazy. The whole world was actively flowing and the wide-spectrum euphoria was like nothing I've ever experienced, on opiates or anything else (I've never IVed heroin or anything like that, but snorted and plugged H before and had nothing like this).

The only thing I could compare it to in my limited experience was high doses of DXM with weed... just as far as the euphoria and the way it made my body feel. After about an hour (I guess), maybe two, the hallucinations had stopped almost completely and my nose didn't feel so much like it had been cut off and stuffed with habaneros and broken glass. It still hurt like a motherfucker, though.

But... after that first hour when the hallucinations mostly stopped, the best part of the trip came on. The body euphoria was just fucking amazing. I've never felt that type of body euphoria except with DXM - where the euphoria doesn't just flow over, in, or through your body, but seems to have delved into every fiber of your muscles - your body itself is just glowing with euphoria and the relaxation is so great that I was just laid back and melting back into my chair. I used to love how DXM would make my body feel so blissfully lethargic and with so much body euphoria etched into the very fabric of my being, every square centimeter of my physical frame deluged with such good feeling that I just can't compare it to anything else I've ever had. Opiates have nothing on this (in my experience, that is - I'm sure with enough potent opiates it might be similar or even better, don't know).

Because of my DXM abuse, I have long since lost the "magic" (psychedelia) of DXM along with all of the effects - and I mean all of them - most especially that awesome body lethargy/euphoria that I loved so much is forever gone. Now I can take 350 or even 700mg of DXM with weed and get... pretty much nothing. A little euphoria, but no robo-walk, no slurring, no magic, nothing. DXM acts like an opiate or something for me now - I just take it to feel normal and if I'm lucky I get a little euphoria. So... I've sorely missed this deep-body euphoria that I used to get only with DXM. 2C-B gave that back to me. It was freaking awesome, and the visual distortions were like something you'd see in a dream or in a movie. I've never had my vision change so drastically like that.

4:30am: I walked the half-mile home to my house alone, enjoying the body and mind euphoria so much. I felt completely lucid and open in my mind and seemed completely sober with no dilated pupils, no stumbling, or anything. When I got home, my stupid dog barked as I came in the house and then immediately I heard my dad come downstairs. It was very unexpected, but he didn't seem to notice anything and just asked me if I was okay, which I said I was.

I hadn't eaten anything for about 24 hours (except kratom and drinking coffee) so I immediately heated up some Progresso soup, unsure if I was going to be able to eat (?). but.... when I went to eat, I discovered that my taste and smell was greatly enhanced and the food tasted very awesome. I ate slowly and savored it.

5:30am: Really, after about the first hour of that intense hallucinatory episode around 1am when I snorted the rest of the 20mg 2C-B, I had been expecting that I would be very awake for a long time, sort of like on acid or something, so it was a great surprise to notice that after 2:30am or so I found myself very, very relaxed, drowsy and falling asleep. By the time I got home and ate, I was ready for bed. I didn't use any Xanax, Klonopin or anything and just laid down and fell asleep.

I woke up about 5 hours later, at 11am, feeling a bit crappy. No more psychedelic feelings, my nose was stopped up and burning, I was a bit agitated and a little anxious.

After about 2 hours from waking up, my nose was clear, my head was clear, I felt normal and not depressed or anxious. It just felt like nothing had ever happened (except my nose still burned a little bit).

I've never had my nose hurt that much from snorting something, but I would do it again. maybe not like I did, though. I will probably take 2C-B orally, then once it begins to affect me, snort about 5-10mg 2C-B to kick it up. I'm also highly interested in trying LSD, 2C-B and MDMA together, or certain other combinations with 2C-B. I wish I had saved those nitrous canisters until I was peaking on 2C-B, using them then probably would have been amazing. Oh well, there's always next time (got a couple hundred whippets coming in the mail hehe).

All in all, a very positive and uplifting experience. Once I finished snorting the whole 20mg, it was super intense and its effects were like nothing I've ever tried, but I just accepted it and tried to enjoy the most intense parts. Nothing like a high dose of shrooms and nothing like when I took 400ug of LSD (both of which were intense and amazing in their own way). After the first hour or two of snorting the final part of the 20mg, I found the whole thing very enjoyable. I couldn't believe I was concerned about staying awake for many hours after snorting it, because it was quite the opposite. Within just 2-3 hours I was so relaxed and at peace - the intensity of the trip was definitely at the very beginning. I like this stuff, but it's powerful. Good thing C got a gram of it :D

This sounds unreal, quality report :)

Tell me how do you abuse DXM daily for 20 years? Just out of curiosity, I've heard of people using it for long periods of time sure but 20 years please tell me all about your story with this drug I feel like this is such a tale that is yet to be untold!
 
Wow, that was a quick response, afterlyfestyle >_>

I looked through the FAQ and rules quickly (yes, I'd already read them but wanted to make sure) and think I can post a link to a different forum? If you'd like to read about my history with DXM and abuse, go here:

http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103331

To make it short... I've always been very isolated and fought with depression since I was little. DXM was sort of the only thing I could use to escape, since I didn't have any drug-using friends and I was (am?) very dependent on my parents in my day-to-day life and haven't really grown up and learned how to live on my own. Although I started using DXM as a teenager to explore, after a period of time it became my way to escape and numb myself from all of my problems, and I continued to do that for a long, long time... not growing at all and just staying in the same spot for many years. Once DXM stopped working completely by the time I was 30, I had to face the fact that I was going to have to grow up and face all of the problems I'd been running from for so long. For the last 5-6 years, I have been fighting against DXM. Finding kratom was a huge boon in that effort, but unfortunately I relapsed on DXM Jan 2 of this year (2013) and used about 180 bottles of Robitussin in the first six months of this year (or more, about two bottles every other day for the first six months). I began to taper off of it (again) after that, but have not been able to completely stop. The last time I relapsed on it was Oct. 15, when I only used 350mg (with marijuana). Didn't even get any euphoria from it, though. Just made me feel normal again and less stressed/anxious. Oh well. I'm committed to not using it anymore...

It might have been a bit of hyperbole to say "every day for 20 years," as it's an easy way to stress how bad my addiction has been. But for the first 5 years or so ('94-'99) it was every weekend or twice a week, then for about 10 years (2000-2010) it was 3-4 times a week or more. Sometimes I'd get splurges where I'd use it every day for a few days in a row, but usually my pattern would be every 3rd day. Never would I be able to go longer than a week without it, and that was rare. In 2007 I managed to stop using DXM for the msot part by getting into poppy pods off ebay, and made poppy pod tea every day for two years - well, after a while I stopped making the tea and instead just ate the ground up pods completely. In 2009 I kicked off of the poppy pods (worst two weeks of my life) after a two-year heavy daily addiction to them. I wound up using DXM near-daily again after that until I found kratom in 2011. Kratom helped me stop using DXM like I had been, and I went about a year and a half with only a few DXM slips, until Jan of this year, which as I state above was when I fell back into "the DXM hole."

My friend C has been helping me stop use DXM by inviting me to trip with him now and then, along with trying other drugs (but mainly the psychedelics). I'm very aware and careful of the fact that I'm already an addict (he's allowed me to try meth and H but only a little), so psychedelics seem like the way to go, rather than getting into opiates again or speed or something. LSD, shrooms, and some of these RCs have helped restore my sense of fantasy and wonder (a bit) and helped fill that void where the DXM hole was - although nothing will ever replace it. My main focus is to keep moving forward and growing and learning about new things and not getting caught in an endless cycle of drug use as an escape.

I may be coming down off LSD but its not impossible to read that story in 5 minutes like sorry I read your trip report man! ...


I was seriously interested about your use with DXM because I had a friend close to me who got addicted to Robitussen & Codeine and he killed himself, we were only 17 like fuck its terrible but fuck if there's things I can do like to kind of ease people off bad drugs then that is what I want to do. Best to be hearing experiences of people who have been doing it for 20+ years like yourself.


Thanks heaps for posting this though, 180 robo bottles I'm thinking holy fuck if anyone around my area tried to do that... most chemists only have boxes of 10 for example, even just buying 2 at once wow I'm not sourcing I'm just thinking, wow, fuck. Not good not bad, just "wow, fuck,".

We don't really have Kratom in my country so its good to hear that it has worked for you. :)
 
No offense taken at all. I didn't mean to imply you didn't read it - it's just it was like five in the morning and I was surprised to see a reply right after I posted it. I hope you had a good trip.

I'm sorry about your friend - it sounds like he might have been fighting depression, too. I'm sure that the experience was and is painful for you. While drugs can certainly cause a lot of problems, a lot of problems aren't because of the drugs but just the person using drugs to try to treat the symptoms of internal and unwanted issues or to numb themselves from things they feel they can't live with. It certainly was the case for me. DXM is amazing and one could learn a lot from it - and it helps many people, especially with coughing. Here in the US codeine is not available over the counter, so if someone has an issue with coughing then Robotussin/DXM is the most effective thing available for it without going to a doctor. There's a few other things you can take for coughing, but codeine is really the most effective thing as far as I know for coughing, and without codeine being available here then cough syrup with DXM in it is the second best thing. Psychonauts can, of course, also avail themselves of this strange and great drug (DXM), but like with anything, there will be abuse and there will be incidents.

At least here in the States, Robotussin/DXM cough syrup is everywhere and usually very cheap. Generic store versions can be had for very little, and I've even heard that the dollar tree and other dollar stores have begun selling DXM (not necessarily in a DXM-only form). In many ways, being addicted to DXM like this is more like being an alcoholic than an illegal drug user, because it's everywhere and it's cheap. It makes it hard to walk into any sort of store without running across it.

Anyway, I'm determined not to use it anymore for a long long time... I've said it many times before, though. But in several ways things in my life have been looking up a bit and maybe once my life expands and I began to have alternative methods of coping with my problems (pain, depression, anxiety, and circumstantial) I will feel less like I'm at the end of my rope with nowhere else to turn but DXM or suicide. Maybe I can really stop for good this time. Or at least for a long time. Losing the magic of DXM - well, you would think that would have encouraged me to stop. But it didn't, because I didn't feel like I had anywhere else to turn or anything else to go to. So I just kept using it without the psychedelic aspects... and now even the analgesic properties are basically gone for me, along with everything else. When I quit for two years and was on poppy pods, I didn't use DXM at all... and when I went back to it after two years of not using, I found the magic had returned. The magic was back for about five sessions and then that was it and it was gone again. I imagine that this is the way it will always be.

About kratom, well, kratom is a real blessing even if it's sort of a trap, too. It's a little expensive using it daily like I do, but it really helps keep the edge off things. Of course, now I'm dependent on it (and have been for two years). I could stop using it if I had to, and the withdrawals wouldn't be too bad - but that's only because I have weaned myself down from quite high usage levels that I was on previously. For a long time the withdrawal symptoms weren't funny at all - quite severe. Even as it is now (I usually use twice a day, usually can wait 12-15 hours between uses) I will get some pretty nasty RLS if I go across that 15 hour mark or so, along with some other unpleasant effects. But I have no doubt now I could stop if I had to... and I would probably grow more (in my life) as a result of not having it. But it is nice to have it, I must say.
