150mg Gravol, 500mg Valerian + Cannabis - 1st Time Combination - Are You Experineced?

-3 50mg pills of Gravol or Dramamine in the States
-1 500mg pill of Valerian
-1 joint ( half a gram kind bud )
So the whole story starts like this... I am at my friend's place. We'd already been planning on having some weed that day. This weed was some pretty good looking stuff, it had the strongest smell i'd ever smelt and had pretty brown hairs all of over it. I was telling my friend about a trip I once had on Gravol to which he responded surprised to hear you could get high of Gravol. He was glad to hear what I described to him since he had found a new box of it in his medicine cabinet. We left his place with the weed and the pills and on the way to my house I told him I had some Valerian pills at home so we decided to take 1 each along with the weed and gravol.
We got to my house and first thing we did was gather all our pills together and started to roll a joint containing about half a gram of weed. After we were done rolling it, we ate the 3 pills of gravol along with the valerian. We lit up the joint about 1 minute afterwards in my room where it was a pretty relaxed setting. The joint was finshed after about 8-10 minutes later and we had smoked it down to the roach. My friend at this time hadn't done anything stronger than weed and alcohol and already we were laughing so hard our stomachs hurt.
The effects of the gravol had started happening but the visuals hadn't started yet. All we were feeling was a more enchanced, psychedeliquesc weed high. Our hearing at this point was hightened to a ridiculous level, so much that we would actually hear things which were't there. About 10 minutes after this, the Valerian began working it's way up as we were laying our backs facing each other against the walls while bouncing back and forth a plastic ball. At this time, we were both laughing the hardest we've ever laughed toghether. And then....BOOM! The gravol had started going into it's visual phase.
The first change I noticed was how my friend which I had been staring at for about 10 secs, looked just like he was Waldo from "Where's Waldo" because he had glasses on and had a huge grinn on his face. We got tired of doing that since now our highs were getting too intense. We ran downstairs to get some water because in case you don't know, Gravol and weed are the worst when it comes to cotton mouth. As we ran down the stairs, I tought my friend was intending to kill me all this time and just pretending to be my friend. We drank out water and later when we were climbing up back to my room, the feeling that he was a killer camw back even stronger that I actually confronted him about it. We had an arguement about wheather he was really going to kill me since he kept teling me 'to go into the hallway bececause everything looks pretty'.
After that, it was about 30 minutes max into the experience and at this point both the Valerian and Gravol had reached full effect. My friend sat down on a chair once we settled down and i started to slowly wave my hands in front of his face while he was starting at their actions. I suddenly stoped waving them and squeaked a small sound to which he jumped up from his chair and yelled out so loud i tought he had gone crazy. He was so tripped out by what i was doing that he actually saw me as a monkey when I stoped waving my hands and squeaked at him. After this took place I could see him getting increasingly more fucked and we both realized just how gone we were after I told him that while I was tripping him out with my hands, my hands looked like a wooden fence and it looked as if I was peeping in at an old man (him) throught the fence.
After this happened we were not quite the same through the trip. At one point we even sat side by side on my bed to avoid looking at each other and having another one of those trips. But this wasn't doing anything for me. I was still just as fucked. While we were sitting side by side, I could see us as if i was watching us from behind. It was so clear, I could even see myself and my friend staring straight ahead nervously to avoid looking at each other. Now I'd say it was about 40-50 minutes since we had taken the pills and smoked the weed.
We then left outside and go to Taco Bell because we had to leave my house. If we would have stayed there any longer we would have lost our minds. Before we had left my house, I was starting at myself in the mirror and looked as if i was dead and actually believed it for a second. The walk there was "interesting". We stopped off at this small park before we went to Taco and just chilled on some bench facing the enterance to the park. I suddenly jummped up and told my friend we had to go because a cop car had just come by the enterance. My friend looked to where I was pointing but failed to see any cop cars and also told me there was no way that could have happened because there was no road for cars to drive on at the enterance.
When we went to Taco Bell, I went in there by myself because my friend was too fucked and while talking to the cashier, I would forget what we were ordering so I would go back outside where my frined was and keep asking him what we were getting and coming back in. I don't know if I would ever do this again, but if you're looking to do this I recommand you are either with someone you trust or alone but in a very good state of mind because paranoia is deiniftly increased and take no more than 3 50mg pills of gravol the first time.

This actually sonds like something I'd love. I'm going to have to try this. Any suggestions on how to create more visuals and what dosage to take with dramamine?
 
I've taken up to 4 grams of valerian with no psychoactive effects, just tiredness. I've never heard of anyone getting off on only 75mg dimenhydrinate either. If anyone thinks it's fun, go for it but 'Gravol' is not a good drug to abuse.
 
Actually now that I think about it, I believe the actual dose of the Gravol was 150mg because I'm pretty sure those pills were 50mg each which is more common. Even at that dose by itself it's shit but with some nice weed, taken in that order, it will be more than you'd expect. The Valerian was thrown in the mix because both weed and Gravol tend to raise your blood pressure pretty high. I wouldn't take more than 3 pills of Gravol or Dramamine while smoking pot with it the first time and even then, it can get out of control. Prepare for your eyes to be red like weed times two and afterwards make sure you save yourself some time because you'll be tired as shit.

Yeah, I can see feeling 150mg, 75 just seemed a little low. Just don't raise it, it's one of the worst things you can fuck with in higher doses.
 
Dramamine is about as stupid as drinking robutussin, except dramamine, like mentioned in the report, gives u a strong feeling of dread and danger. 150mg isnt a very high dose, not enough of one to get real dimenhydrinate (or whatever the chemical is) visuals from. Ive done it twice, and both times over 500mg. I would not suggest doing it, it sucks and is a cheapass immature drug.
Visiuals included - walls becoming covered with millions of creepy insects, floor turning into thousands of slimy snakes, people giving off demonic and evil vibes (even close friends...i know exactly what he ment when he said he thought his friend was going to kill him) and an x box controller becoming a scorpion in my hands.
It sucks.
Never heard of Valerian tho, whats that?

I agree about the dramamine in a way. I don't know what experience you have with dxm, but I'm glad you're leaving it to people who can understand it's amazing potential.
Valerien (to quote erowid): "Valerian [an herb] is a very useful relaxant and is used in many pharmacopeias as a sedative. It can safely be used to reduce tension and anxiety, over-excitability and hysterical states. It is an effective sleep-aid, an anti-spasmodic, helps in the relief of cramps and painful periods. It is also a general pain reliever in cases where the pain is associated with tension such as migraines."
