Opening Rant

How many trips has it been? Shit, I have like 50 trip reports on Bluelight, and I probably only write about 1/4 of my trips or less. I've eaten lots of LSD, mushrooms, morning glory seeds, 2C-alphabet, AMT, mescaline, DOI, 4-aco-mipt, and lots of others. I just got stoned so I'm sure I'm leaving quite a lot out. I've spent a fair amount of time as a cog behind the wheels of some biomechanical who-knows-what machine in Salvia space. I've been directly confronted by dozens of strange entities on DMT. Shit, a couple days ago I accidentally smoked DMT in an attempt to vaporize some weed in an old lightbulb vapo.

I have so many theories about the workings of the universe, our own consciousness, the meaning of life, etc. -- most of which have been formed directly as a result of pyschedelic drug use -- that I basically have my own religion.

So after all this drug use, I have to admit that I am becoming less and less impressed with lackluster trips. The other night I ate 200mg of 2C-D within the course of an evening and didn't get nearly as high as I was trying to get. You know, light trips can be fantastic if given the right set and setting. Psychedelics can be great party drugs (well, some can, depends on the party of course) and also great to enhance concerts, art-work, or whatever creative stuff you're into.

I used to get so much more out of my trips..... I could get so deep inside my mind and travel across space and time.....

Oh yeah. Did I mention my second psychedelic drug ever (after a few light morning glory seed trips) was DXM. DXM is the fucking shit, therefore I went through a two year period where I used the stuff on an almost weekly basis.

DXM is psychedelic heroin. Other psychedelics off visual distortions and insights. DXM offers out of body experiences, full OEV/CEV hallucinations, can provide astral projection with rarely any anxiety at all. I can't believe the folks at The Shroomery limit DXM discussion to "other drugs". Taking most other psychedelics drugs aren't really a "trip". And you know it. So what if the carpet patterns a bit and colors change. Okay, if you're really tuned in you can work with tryptamine god-energy.

Anyway, fuck this stupid rant. I'm going to pack another bowl and explain, step by step, how to acheive the ultimate psychedelic experience in a little trip report I like to call...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (TM)

There are a few limiting factors which prevent DXM from being the ultimate trip.

1. Many people complain of a drunken feeling, double vision, "robo-itch", nausea, skin flushing, diarrhea, etc. Well, that sucks for you because I have done a lot of DXM and barely ever experienced these side effects. I think many people are simply taking DXM in the wrong form. Of course any half-witted robotripper knows you gotta drink the kind that's got only DXM in it. And no "triple-C's", now,... hey, did I mention, no offense, but this trip report is not intended for preteen kids who have trouble finding marijuana. We aren't popping random pills to get a buzz, ok? Allright, I've done DXM in a few forms. The first one to avoid is the least obvious: pure DXM powder. Fuck that shit. The only times I ever got nauseous or had "bad trips" on DXM was with a batch of pure powder. I don't know if it's an absorbtion issue, but whatever, just don't do it if you want to have a good time. Next to avoid is Robo-brand Cough Gels. There is some shit in there that gives you liquid shits. The time I tried that stuff I had to take a liqui-shit ever 30 minutes. Fuck that shit as well. Another product to avoid are Sucrets. You have to eat so many of those nasty oversized "hard candies" to get a decent trip, it's not worth it. And it's more expensive. Finally, avoid generic Robo-Max-Cough rip offs. For some reason they just don't seem to hold as much magic. Now... if you glazed over this huge paragraph don't worry. START READING NOW. Get Robo-name-brand Max Strengh Cough. It's in a blue box. No Cold. Just Cough. That is the best way to get DXM. The flavor isn't that bad, it's relatively inexpensive, AND it's always given me the best trips.

2. You have to drink enough. Do your 50mg test to make sure you don't lack whatever liver enzyme you need to process the shit. If you get fucked up from that 50mg you can't robotrip. Sorry, this is where you get off. Now, if 50mg just gets you a little spaced-out but definitely still in a functional mindset you're good to go.

Now you probably know there are different "plateaus" of DXM tripping. Or maybe you didn't. I'll explain:

1st plateau: Light body buzz... makes 13 year old kandi-girls want to dance and get naked.
2nd plateau: Feelings of dissociation from your body start. You may have some CEVs, mostly in the form of photographic images. People will probably be able to tell that you're a bit fucked up.
3rd plateau: Lay back and put on some Bob Marley, cuz now it's time to float away and travel across time and space. However, you can snap out of it, but you'll still be pretty fucked up. Walking will be a strange experience, you will experience spacial distortions and some visuals, mostly of things morphing and drifting. Close your eyes and anything is possible.
4th plateau: Apprarently this is when you are extremely fucked up and basically not able to snap yourself out of a dissociative trance state even if you wanted to. I don't know, I never ate enough to get to the 4th plateau.
5th plateau: This is just delerium from redosing on DXM, you are definitely in your own world.

3. One main negative of DXM is that even though the OBEs are fun as hell and feel great and are beautiful to watch and experience, they seem kind of random. Also it is hard to remember exactly what happened after the experience. It's tough when you're sucked into so many different worlds and realities from so many perspectives to get much out of it except a few select memories of the things you thought were extra cool and tried hard to remember.

Let's Trip, You and Me

To replicate my experience you will need about 800mg of DXM and 4 grams of mushrooms. Many of you are thinking this sounds a bit intense. Well it is intense, but in a good way! Keep reading.

Start the trip at 7:00pm. It's gonna last all night, so don't worry about the early start. And trust me, DXM + Mushrooms is a night-time combonation. Don't even consider doing it in the daytime. You will be blinded. In fact you don't need to go anywhere for this trip. I suggest a couch or a bed with a stereo nearby.

So it's 7:00pm. Drink about 300mg of DXM. Then wait.

Now it's 9:00pm and you're probably feeling that DXM by now. Enjoy the sensation of your body moving around in a floaty way on whatever soft surface you are lying on.

Wait another hour.

Now it's 10:00pm. You are probably feeling more dissociated from the DXM and possibly even thinking, "I don't need to trip any harder". That is a lie. This is the time when you want to eat mushrooms. Don't worry. In your dissociated DXM state you will barely even notice the shroom come-up. Nor will you vomit because your stomach has already been sensitized to gross things because of the DXM you already drank.

I suggest at least three grams of shrooms. I ate four. Actually you can eat as many grams of shrooms as you want because once the DXM has kicked in it really doesn't matter. I find it's pretty hard to get "the fear" on DXM, in fact it relaxes me quite a bit.

At this point you will also want to drink another 400mg of DXM or so. Who am I kidding, of course you won't want to drink another bottle of RoboMax right after eating some tasty mushrooms. Do it anyway. It takes time and a little perseverence to get to the ultimate trip.

Now light some candles and turn off all your lights. Turn off your TV. Turn off your monitor. Prepare a long playlist of music that you think would do well to guide you through psychedelic mind journeys. The music will be important. Do not play death metal unless you want to go to hell. That's cool if you want to. I personally prefer stuff like Bob Marley, Flaming Lips, Brain Eno.... more spacey mellow stuff. Because if you put on some really fast loud music, you'll fly through space really fast and in a chaotic way. Put on some mellow music and you can navigate this space a lot easier and walk right up the steps to heaven's gate.

Now, I don't know what time this is, but it's 1 hour after you ate both the mushrooms and your 2nd dose of DXM. You are probably pretty fucked up by now, but wondering what the big deal is (unless you're a n00b tripper, then maybe you'l think this is cool). Easy way to solve this problem. Smoke a spliff. Or a joint. Or a bowl. I suggest either a spliff or a small bowl because you won't need much.

After you hit that bowl quickly make your way to a comfortable place where you can lie down. Close your eyes. Feel yourself drift away. Don't fight any gravity you may feel. Don't be frightened by whatever imagery you may see. Just think of something else and you will see something else.

You have just begun a period of approximately four to five hours where you can have intense out of body experiences. Perhaps some of you are wondering, "why bother eating the mushrooms?" Well of course I was going to explain that. This is a pretty long trip report, I had to get to that sometime. The point is that, even though the DXM will be the drug sending you off into space, the mushrooms are the drug that are taking you on a meaningful and totally psychedelic trip. The element of DXM's dissociative randomness still remains, however I find that many more of the out of body experiences feature Aztec-looking themes. You know, shroomy stuff.

And your open eye visual experience will be rediculous, but I'll get to that in a bit. Spend a couple hours with your eyes closed listening to music and floating through alternate dimensions. During this time I experienced the act of building a city from scratch. I experienced, with my eyes open, astral projection. That is, I rotated upwards and floated above my body looking down on my room, which didn't look exactly like my normal room because of the extreme visual distortions, but it was still my room. I spent a lot of time floating, flying, and warp-speeding through and past various trippy spaces. I sunk down into a fucked up trippy version of hell and watched all of Satan's slaves bustin' their asses in the fiery pits. But I was floating above them and had zero fear of becoming part of this scenario.

So many other out of body experiences occured that there's no point in describing most of them. Anything can happen. You can travel through time. You can become a stone in the road in ancient rome. Or part of some crazy machinery used on another planet.

So let's say you have an out of body experience that you really don't like. Who knows what it could be... maybe you trying to fight a dragon or something. Whatever, just open your eyes or think of something else. It's so easy to switch out of any hint of a negative mind state on DXM + Mushrooms it's not even kickass. It's superkickass.

So after a couple hours you might realize you've been sitting in the same place for a long time. Try walking around, it might be hard but you can do it. Check out the patterns on the walls. Those aren't DXM patterns. Those aren't Shroom patterns. Those are quadruple-intensified RoboMush visuals, dude! You see, about an hour ago, when the mushrooms started to really come into play, they realized what was going on. And mushrooms can't really take you on a normal mushroom trip with DXM doing it's thing. So the shrooms hitch a ride on the DXM just like you.

Some people think DXM isn't psychedelic. I strongly disagree. But the combination of DXM and mushrooms is more psychedelic than 500ug of LSD or ayahuasca. And a hell of a lot easier to handle.

I personally saw lightning bolts on the wall. Very vividly. The carpet was rising up, in sections, like 6 inches above the normal carpet height. The mushroom visuals mix with DXM's power to shift your perspective and distort your visual point of view. You will see things you never saw before.

Around this point I went to my bedroom to smoke another spliff and have some more OBE time. I ended up talking to my girlfriend (who was shroomin' on a lower dose, no DXM) for a while and according to her I was pretty coherent. I definitely felt like I was in another world though.

So I smoked that spliff, turned off the lights, and, wow. It didn't matter if my eyes were open or closed, even though I could see pretty well with the lights off. My room was constantly transforming itself into something different. So many random things I can't even describe them. At one point my room stretched out way longer than it really is, and I was looking down into a sunken garden. Of course it was fully light outside, I was seeing this all with perfect daylight clarity and photorealistically. Then I went up the steps of some ancient temple at the other side of the sunken garden (by floating over there, of course, it's the best way to travel!) and at the top of the steps was a big bright light. All of this with my eyes open in a dark room. I walked through the bright light and into heaven. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what heaven was like, only the area outside heaven which resembled an ancient sunken garden. Oh well. Then I probably snapped out of that and flew off somewhere else.

Now it was probably 4:00am and at this point I was thinking the comedown, which was still very strong (DXM and Shrooms make each other last like twice as long, it's great!)... anyway I was thinking the comedown reminded me of MDA, at least visually. A high dose of MDA. But then I checked my pulse and it was perfectly normal. My body felt great and I didn't really feel all that cracked out. So I would say the comedown off this is very enjoyable because you are still able to feel all floaty and watch your room transform into different things in the darkness.

You may even be able to sleep on the comedown. I personally chose to take some Valerian root extract at around 4:00am. This put me in an even dreamier state, something which I would consider using earlier in the trip next time.

Then around 4:30am I smoked a small bowl, brushed my teeth, ate 1mg Xanax and 0.5mg Klonopin. I drifted off into sleep very peacefully.

And woke up at 2:00pm the next day feeling like a million bucks!

Jerry's Final Thoughts

Some people just can't do DXM. But guess what, almost everyone that's done DXM with me has had a great time. Don't expect to take Tussin and run around your old middle school late at night and have a good time. It's a dissociative psychedelic, so use it that way. If you have any body complaints about DXM, dissociate yourself from your body.

And eat 4 grams of mushrooms with it. It was easily the 2nd most intense trip I've ever had (2nd to 7 hits of acid + 4 rolls with lots of meth), but it was also among the easiest trips to handle I've ever had.

And that is the kind of experience I think is worthy of being called a "trip".
 
Wow, that sounds like the kind of trip i've never had. I like the way you wrote that report, i'm sure someday other bluelighters will write simliar stories about their own journies into the depth of insanity from that combination.
 
ive had insane out of body experiences to the max from eating mushies and railing K....so im sure this was the shit too....i dunno i just dig K more than DXM....robomax cough fuckin just overheats me too bad
 
OMG, that is one of your best reports, and i think i have read all of them.

So do u think that doing this combo but with ketamine (at k-hole doses) would produce similar effects. I dont like drinking syrup, but your trip definetly sounds like something i must experience.

Keep the reports comin BD, they are always a pleasure to read.

PS. hit me up on aim sometime.
 
I was waiting to hear about this trip after you said you made your plans for the night. Sounds like an amazing TRIP.
 
sounds almost like something you coudln't explain and you did...

i do like dxm but everytime i do it i get extreme nausea yet i still have a great time...if i could some how take it and not experience that i would definately try this combo....i would be to afraid of me throwing up the shrooms.....hmmmm once i get mass amount of access to shrooms i might try this
 
You know, I think you might be right about the different forms of DXM. The Robo Gels and pure DXM powder used to give very negative physical effects and experiences.

When I first discovered DXM it quickly became my favorite drug and I did it just about every weekend for a while. That stopped after a few months and now I haven't tried DXM since the last time I took 500mg of the powder and had a severely negative reaction to it.

Reading this report makes me want to try the Robo Max Strength Cough again, because I agree with you about how that IS the best form. There's something about the inactive ingredients that really changes the rate your body absorbs the DXM.

I enjoyed reading this report, I could visualize everything you described in my own way. Nice job!
 
Great!

Sounds like something I should try someday. I don't usually care for DXM, but I haven't mixed DXM with anything - and ketamine never impresses me UNTIL i do mix it with something :).

.. I think i'll go with some of this powder I got laying around, I personally never noticed a difference, and I never get any side effects (but i rarely get side effects from anything).
 
the best trip i ever had on dxm was when i mixed it with mushies,they do both go together very well.im wondering how 4-ho mipt,or 4 ho dipt might go with dxm.it would seem a logical step forward from discovering the synergy between 4-ho dmt and dxm.
 
I've been doing astral projection sober, I didn't know drugs can help it occur though
 
This is a GOOD read man, this is the type of stuff that makes me love this shit. When i read this i remember why i'm into drugs, why i feel so good, good fucking read keep posting your trips:)
 
wish i didn't take too many shrooms those weeks back otherwise i would love to delve the same space, something about the addictive nature of the dissociative drugs is what i don't like, many a freind of mine is has/is heavily into K. How would you rate DXM as opposed to ketamine in the way they can be used to discover these states, your report certainly intrigues me, next time put some Nitrous in the mix would love to hear of your experience from that! Anyways great report as usual, take it easy
 
^^
K and DXM take me to essentially the same place, except with DXM it lasts long and costs a lot less.

DXM also seems a bit less addictive, probably due to the fact that you're eating it rather than sniffing or injecting it.
 
First class report man. I am very very new to the world of DXM but agree completely with you when you say that it IS a psychedelic. I'm yet to go beyond the 2nd Plateau but after reading your report I have every intention of doing so. And yes, when I'm used to it, mushrooms will be added in due course.

A very inspiring read, bluedolphin. Keep them coming
 
Yea, wow, that report was great! I loved the comedy you added to it, it actually made me laugh out loug when you said that 1st plateau was a dose that made "13 year old kandi-girls get naked and dance." lol. Ok, I've got to say, also, that I liked your description of the best ways to ingest DXM, although I think that the generic CVS brand tussin cough works totally fine.
Anyway, about a half year ago, I had a mind bending trip on 1.75g of shrooms, 1200mg of DXM, and a joint, so you have definitely inspired me to write a report of that experience. It will definitely be in the trip reports section of blue light within a few days.
Thanks for the sweeet report dude.
Another by the way to someone else who I keep seeing post, i dunno who it is off the top of my head, isn't namaste "hello" in hindi? Why at the end of every post?
 
I've never found dxm powder to create nausia in the body myself, cap it into a 0 vegetable cap, drink it down with a big glass of milk and enjoy!
 
I haven't been one to try dissociatives (haven't tried K or DXM on a large enough amount to trip), but after reading several reports such as this one, i think i will give DXM a try sometime.
