Greetings.

So... I recently had an accident while on DXM, and while people are going to do what they're going to do.. it couldn't hurt to post my story as a way to say what NOT to do on DXM.

About a week ago I was with my friend, and we decided to do some DXM before proceeding to a party. We each did 600mg. Now, we both have pretty high tolerances, and while we were expecting to get nice and high, we weren't expecting to get wonked out of our minds.

The strange thing about DXM I find, is that sometimes you seem to get REALLY high for no apparent reason, on the exact same dose that last time gave you a chill buzz. I have no idea why, but this has happened to me a couple of times, where I get ridiculously high, even when I have a high tolerance and 9/10 times wouldn't on the same dose. So, this was one of those times.

We were coming up while on public transit, which I have now learned for the last time is a terrible idea on DXM. The trip already had a strange feeling, and we were both having muscle spasms and twitches waay more than we'd expect to have. We continued to get higher while navigating downtown, to the point where we were "robowalking"... staggering and walking with MUCH difficulty. And then it happened out of nowhere. I robotripped. (pun intended.) I fell flat on my face (well to be precise on my chin) on the concrete. I found myself sitting there, high out of my mind, bleeding all over myself with a few chipped teeth.

The fall wasn't terrible.. my chin is healing nicely.. but it's costing me thousands in dental work. Fillings, crowns, and I might even need a root canal. Lesson fucking learned.

So.. just posting this as a warning to all you DXM-users out there. DO NOT do moderate-high doses of DXM while out and about, especially navigating around town. Chances are you may fall even worse than me, and really really regret it. I would say if you're dosing any higher than 300mgs or 3rd plateau, (everyone's body is different).. stay in the comfort of your own room, on your soft bed, where no injuries are likely to occur. Ok, point made.
 
Yep. About ten years ago i met a guy who lost his right eye because he fell on the corner of a table.
But he wasn't very experienced with dxm and took more than 2g.
So it's not really compareable but worth mentioning.
 
I can attest to this.

Especially if you are taking DXM in different forms. The first 4 times I had DXM out of vicks44 syrup, so I kinda knew what was up, the 5th time I had it via gel caps, and even though I calculated my dose correctly, I got wwwaaayyy higher and was messed up into the next day.
 
Dude... The very idea of going outside on DXM, let alone being in public - on any but the lightest dose - staggers me. Definitely an indoors drug. I wonder what would happen if you smoked DMT on the back of a bus.
 
I wouldnt say its the DXM that dangerous it's the decisions you make before taking it, Like going out in public, moving around a lot, etc. that are dangerous if you were to have just sat at home on your couch listening to music/watching TV you wouldn't have bust your teeth up.

I am pretty sure I learned in the 3rd grade not to get all fucked up and walk about. Sorry you had to wait to adult life to find out you didn't pay attention in school. :)
 
I feel like I might get a bit of flac for this, but wandering about outside and even in society on dxm has been some of the better drug experiences of my life. Definitely not at all safe to drive on, but for some reason I really liked being in public on upper second plateau doses of dxm, it made me feel like some sort of foreign observer of an alien race or something. Typically boring urban locations such as malls or suburban golf courses that are usually boring suddenly seem like a sort of cosmic playground, and since noone is really expecting you to be tripping there you can usually blend in.

I was definitely being pretty irresponsible when I was having said experiences, that was several years ago. I had several really intense trips on around 500 mgs at a mall that were just straight up bizarre, wandering in and out of random stores and such. The environment just seemed so cool, like a starship or something. I do think similar things could be done safely though, like you could trip on dxm in public if you have a sober person with you to drive you away should things start get out of hand like the OP mentioned.
 
dude sorry but that just made me laugh . cut the end of my finger off nearly one night tripping on acid just wrapped it in kitchen roll and sellotape and carried on the night but i dowt you could really do that with teeth missing now could you :)
 
yeah all i can do looking back other than a big ol' facepalm is to laugh.. and never do something that idiotic again. dextrorfan i agree with you to some extent.. i've also had some crazy experiences tripping on dxm and k while out and about. i remember especially exploring a cathedral once and how beautiful and magnificent it seemed. malls have also turned into video games for me before. but i think i'll reserve my outdoor dissociative trips to k. because it at least doesn't fuck up your walking abilities nearly as much as dxm.

also cutting off your finger on acid?? just curious how that came about lol.

Did you consider the effects of situational tolerance?

Yeah, that does happen with DXM sometimes.
 
attention: i saw this title and thought of the movie pee wees big adventure and had a frightening mental image of a tent. please let the discussion continue. Cheers.
 
DXM is contraindicated for all kinds of drugs, many of them if not most OTC and generally innocuous - there is a fair chance you had either taken something of this nature within your dose window, or...that you had ingested a food or drug that occupied the conversion enzyme in the liver - this can drastically increase the potency, which is why some people take white grapefruit with DXM - it at least doubles the effects in many regards.
