DXM can be quite nice, dont give up on it

[Djjapp777]

Just another story of experience, took me 3 tries to finally appreciate DXM. The very first time I barely felt anything, the 2nd time I got really fucked up and just stumbled around AND tried to watch "Erin Brokovich" (weirded me out).
But the 3rd time, surprised me... I expected it to be like the 2nd trial, just a period of being fucked up. But the feeling came and started to actually make me feel good instead of messing with my head. I took my dog for a walk out in the rainy weather, and really enjoyed it. Had a slightly drunk feeling but I was also bouncing off the ground with my light feet. It felt very nice and I achieved that feeling of clarity in the head, which was absent in the 1st and 2nd trials.
Moral of this story is to try try again.. (sort of) I've read some stories about how people had a bad time with DXM their very first time and decided to never do it again. I feel that those first times are just a period of getting used to the drug, letting your body let it in and familiarize with it, like a new neighbor. Then after you've done that, you can finally take the drug to achieve its best attributes.

do u like it crispy, or extra crispy?

 

[puffbunnyx]

I enjoy it only when it dosen't make me sick. I have only taken dxm out of the robo maximum strength cough bottles. Anything past 4 oz. will make me puke, like the worst nausia of my life, OH MY GOD. But 4 oz. will get me to 2nd pleateu and it is really nice, nice body buzz, real floaty and drunk and stoned at the same time, lights and colors are crazy and my perception of everything is nuts. I get pretty fucked up but its enjoyable and inciteful too. After a couple nice trips and bad trips with dxm, I have ended my experiences. I just wanted to try it a couple of times and I enjoyed it while it lasted

~you know if you guys are getting a little sick from slamming down a bottle of cough syrup there is an extraction method which isnt too hard to complete.

I gave up on DXM the day after I spent the majority of the night throwing up (and eventually dry wretching) so consistantly I couldn't even get a sentence out between chucks. And this went on for a hell of a long time.
First time I did it, it was great fun tho

i think DXM is a drug that can be good the first couple of times you do it and then get boring. i'd love to try a high plateau trip but i can't drink that much syrup.

acidblue -
I'd love to know this extraction method =o)
so how bout it? or if anyone else knows it, feel free to post it.
is there any way to extract dxm from the pills?

My friend was like you when he had a gram of the stuff for his first time Nexus. I think the stuff is a bit like pharmaceuticals in that they are kinda nice but at the same time not addictive if you know what I mean

I find it a little like mushrooms in that you get a phychedelic trip but it feels a bit poisonous and not entirely pleasant.

 

[krs_one]

The extraction method is extremely easy to perform successfully. All you need is some ammonia, cirtic acid(lemon juice works), and of course the syrup(dxm only active ingredient). Check out erowid's dxm section for complete process, or thirdplateau.

here's what i did last time...
put two bottles of cough syrup, ones with nothing else in 'em (no expectorants or aspirin etc) in a 2 litre pop bottle and add an equal volume of plain white ammonia (no scents or flavours!). shake the shit out of it for 5 minutes, add a thin layer of zippo lighter fluid, shake the shit out of it again for a long time.
now pour this mix into a ziplock bag and close it, hang the ziplock by one of the top corners over a sink. get a jar ready and snip a tiny corner off the bag so the bottom syrup-coloured layer drains into the sink. after the last bit of syrup layer drains out, catch the rest in the jar.. a pyrex casserole dish might be best actually, something flat-ish. when you snip the bag, make it a small snip so you can get only the clear layer and not miss any. now all you do is let the lighter fluid evaporate. it'll leave a clear/whitish layer on the glass which you scrape off with a razor. this is dxm.
^^^--- does this make sense?

Haven't done it yet myself, but heres the link:

Since DXM is legal you can order the pure powder, too. I have yet to try it as pure powder, but apparently it's a much cleaner experience. Probably the extraction would work just as well, tho, if done properly.
Anyways, I've got powder on the way, and I'll be sure to post something about it once I've got it.

[Djjapp777]

Yes i've only experienced DXM with the powder form in capsules. I didn't mean capsules as in the type you buy from the pharmacy that is used for cold medicine. I meant pure stuff.

From my (basic) knowledge DXM is almost a different drug depedning on what plateau.
I did 300mg , it was too much. I was overwhelmed and had an unpleaant trip.
150 mg , shit was just not quite right. Weird and not really that much fun.
But i think I may try again. Maybe 200mg this time.

synthetic sunrise:
yes, perfectly =) that's an acid-base extraction, yielding DXM free base. you should know that it should go cloudy when you add the ammonia. you really only need to add one equivalent of ammonia per mole DXM but an equal volume will work too. adding salt may also help. then when you add the solvent, shake and add solvent as necessary until the lower layer goes clear again, then extract that layer. normally, you would repeat the extraction step 2 or 3 times.
a ziploc bag is a poor substitute for a proper separatory funnel, which has a nice teflon stopcock you can use to *exactly extract the right amount of solvent. using a ziploc bag you'll have to lose some lighter fluid; DO NOT get any ammonia syrup into that layer.
the only thing is that DXM may be harder to absorb as the free base. take the crystals you get from the lighter fluid and put them in water--they won't dissolve--then add citric acid until they do.
citric acid is easily available in pharmacies; it's used in pickling, i think, and 'for making artificial lemonade'.
DXM citrate in citric acid solution tastes foul, but nowhere near as bad as cough syrup. like lemonade and vomit. sweetening it may help. do *not* attempt to extract DXM freebase *from* the lighter fluid by shaking it with citric acid solution; you'll lose a lot of it.
