I have no way to acquire good LSD, mushies or other classic psychedelics. I have a high tolerance for serotonergic psychs to begin with, am on mirtazapine for depression which works against LSD and the like, and any acid I do come across is usually very weak due to improper storage and/or bad preparation. All this results in no classic trips for me. That's right, feel sorry for poor old mecaib. Somebody should pay me a visit or something
And so, in order to trip, I always turn to DXM. It's not such a bad trip, and the visuals are always entertaining.
~Prep~
I bought a big bottle of time-release cough syrup which is equivalent to 888mgs DXM hbr. Using the water separation I was left with a tidy little pile of DXM polistirex which I then mixed straight into fruit juice. Using this method I avoid all nausea and diarrhea. The trade off of course is a long come up and extended trip duration. Which is fine with me since the trip is almost always good.
~The experience~
I had originally planned to take 222mgs for a mild high. But then my friend "K" and brother "M" wanted to trip too, so we all took one third, approximately 296mgs apiece. A mild trip supposedly. It was 1:00pm when we dosed. It took many hours to come on, about 1 1/2 hours longer than normal by my estimate.
During the come up we were all playing with cords to discover new knots. At this time we all had a drink. A little vodka, but not too much since DXM and alcohol can make a person too drunk. As we had our drinks and smoked our tobacco, I noticed the DXM hitting suddenly and rising fast. A stellar jay flew to a nearby branch and started making a quiet but complex song. I can't describe the song, but it was chock full of content and produced beautiful patterns in my mind. We were all quite impressed by this unexpected concert coming from a bird which normally makes simpler sounds. DXM definitely enhances a person's ability to resolve and appreciate sounds.
For hours we sat outside and enjoyed the high. I smoked some pot and the trip increased in intensity. Quite fun and not alarming at all. It was becoming dark so I couldn't see my trip mates' faces clearly. I saw many patterns in the air and at times K's face looked like a skull, or I would see morphing expressions on his face which gave him a very strange appearance. The visuals were very acid-like, but clumsier somehow. Weirder. I would see tapestries of organic human material with eyeballs here and there. I would see little vortices in which fractals would become smaller and smaller, forming static. A wall of static at times. I saw big, ugly scars or lesions. I also saw what looked like a big mass of triangles, a triangle mesh if you will. All connected at the vertices and not overlapping. Most of the time, however, I saw knots; a clear result of having played with cords earlier.
A spray of dots would pass over my vision, but this wasn't an hallucination. This I believe this the damage I've done to my eyes, and to see it in the dark while on DXM was somewhat disturbing.
After a time we all went to our respective places. M to his room, K to his radio, and me to my room. I smoked more pot and got even higher. Ridiculously high considering the fact that I had ingested less than 300mgs. Every time I smoked pot or tobacco, I just kept getting higher.
It was time, I decided, to remake a flasher program to see what I could see. A flasher program, if you don't know, is simply a computer program designed to alternate black and white colors on the screen. It is used to induce hallucinations and is a pretty good trip toy. For my flasher program I went with using a sine function for a smoother flash, vsync to reduce screen tearing and mouse position control to adjust the flash rate.
Looking at the flashing screen I saw more of the organic-looking visuals with blue eyeballs, only it was less organic and more geometric in appearance. I discovered I could control the level of detail by speeding up or slowing down the flash rate. A slow flash rate produced simple designs, a high rate produced more intricate details. It was interesting to see how different rates would produce distinct patterns. I sat there looking at these patterns for quite a while.
When I got off the computer I began playing with knots again. For hours. I ended up discovering a nifty little four-lobed decorative bow. Useless but cool
At about 4:00am I went to bed, but did not, could not sleep. You go for the ride, you stay on the bus I guess.
The next day I was still really quite high. All it took was some pot or a cigarette and I would be super high again. Around 4:00pm as I sat at my computer painting in the Gimp, I felt an itch in my nose and scratched it lightly. Suddenly blood began to pour forth in great quantities and I said to myself, "oh fuck, what if I'm having a brain hemorrhage?" I went to the bathroom sink and watched the amazing way the blood mingled with the water. I could see fluid dynamics in higher detail and with more understanding than usual, but I was going into a panic attack. I started to breathe fast and short and felt like I was going to pass out. Then, out of my nose came what appeared to be a tangle of blood vessels! I thought for sure I had messed myself up badly somehow, and that since I just lost a network of veins my nose would never stop bleeding and I would die. I called out to M for help and he was there to help me calm down and tell me that it was most likely *not* a network of veins I had lost, but a booger. Of course. Somehow in my panicked state I thought of the worst scenario and truly saw a mess of veins. After he calmed me down I had a good laugh over it and was happy again.
~M's experience~
He said when it was coming on everything became "simple" for a moment which alarmed him. But as we talked and laughed, the period of simplicity faded and he could enjoy his trip. He didn't talk much which worried me. Later he told me that it looked as if my eyes were sticking out from my face.
~K's experience~
He was talkative as usual and also experienced a heightened sense of hearing. As he listened to the radio he said that he could hear more of the sounds, which became cityscapes which he could fly through. His trip wasn't very visual and he drank quite a bit of alcohol which made me worry a bit since I didn't want his breathing to become suppressed. His trip was good overall and he remarked about having a profound sense of contentment allowing him to work some issues out in his mind.
~Conclusion~
Some of the visuals I get on DXM and those sprays of bright dots make me worry about DXM's safety profile. We still don't know how safe DXM is for humans since we can't observe the physical effects in a living human brain. On the other hand, DXM's aftereffects seem to be quite beneficial. I feel energized and happy for days afterward. It's like I can see and think more clearly. So once again I am left with mixed feelings about DXM![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
