Hey all.

So as of a week or two ago I received my powder.

note: It was just plain dextromethorphan not a hydrobromide.

note: The pure dxm only made swim puke the first time he used it, after that there was a bit of nausea noticed but it goes away fast.

note: Snorting hurts, but not right after you snort it, it's one of those types of things that don't feel like they hurt much at first but afterwards every time you exhale through your nose it burns! I could easily snort 50 milligrams without much burning but 100 milligrams will burn too much. Oh yeah.. Another huge problem with snorting dxm that's never happened with any other powder is that it clogs your entire nose.. no idea why but it seems to do that and it's just awful.

I'm not quite sure what it is but the effects just are not the same here are the two major differences between the pure dxm and buying it through stores:

1. Although the effects are physically intoxicating and feels much like dxm, the magic seems to be missing... Swim has been able to tell from the 5 times he's used the dxm pure that there's definitely a difference but it's harder to detect because it's not the physical intoxication it's that magic emotional drifting effect that's missing and it feels a lot more like alcohol in that you feel dopey and just.. good in an intoxicating/anti-anxiety way but that simulating drifty magic feel just isn't there and you just feel a lot more dopier.

2. No afterglow? even worse... you feel kind of uniquely emotionally crappy and tends to lead me to sleeping it off...

Could this be because of a greater amount of DXO instead of DXM? that's Swim's theory so far...

Any thoughts? Or ideas in how I could prevent these unwanted effects?
 
I've read a few success stories and a lot failures regarding snorting DXM. The dosage (for me) is too high to comfortably snort and that shit burns. Honestly, I just pill the powder up (you can fit like 350mg into a pill) and take it with 2 robogels. I'm not too knowledgeable on the mechanics (the why), but when you take DXM powder it helps to get a source of PEG to aid in absorbtion. When you dose try taking a couple robogels or a half of a miralax pill alongside your powder dose. You're likely to find all of that magic you're missing.

Google the words "DXM and PEG" and you'll find some interesting information regarding absorption.
 
Thank you. yea the 5 times I used it pure so far I've capsuled it in 00 capsules that I always buy in bulk so that was my main route of taking it but having done dxm for years I wanted to try snorting and see for myself how effective it is etc.

I was hoping to never have to buy cough syrup again lol but just a few days ago after having used the powder and not getting the same effects I decided to buy more cough syrup and did that one night and got my old effects back and then did powder afterwards when re-dosing and after doing about 300mgs is syrup and about another 300 in powder he noticed the dopey(not floaty) feeling kind of settle back in with a mix of the two different effects. the experience was still much better though.

Thanks though I will look that up now, and perhaps another idea I had was to mix the powder into the syrup and see what happens.. unless I find something better and less painful in taste!
 
I was always under the impression that snorting DXM was a bad move - works best orally/plugged. This is pure DXM powder - snorting syrup is likely an even worse idea :D

I'd just eat it like everyone who successfully uses pure DXM crystal/powder does cos it seems to work while all those same people find snorting (or IV) doesn't. Just cos it's a powder/crystal doesn't mean snorting it is wise - snorting is a shitty ROA for many substances that work just fine with other ROA.
 
it is my understanding that the higher plateau DXM experiences not only result from the dose of DXM, but from the ratios of DXM and its metabolite, DXO, providing a more psychedelic 'trip'. im not positive but i think DXM is converted to DXO in the liver. my guess would be snorting could possibly effect the conversion itself or maybe just the amount that gets converted? if someone who knows more about this could say if im correct or not, it seems like it makes sense to me seeing as you said you felt mostly just body effects.
 
Mix it with some genuine syrup (containing PEG and sorbitol) or turn it into a salt first (mix with some lemon juice) prior to consumption.

That should fix the issues and help reduce the nausea if you're normally unaffected by nausea when taking DXM.

DXM can be injected, snorted or plugged with safety, although I would personally not advise it... First pass metabolism plays a major role in the psychedelic effects of DXM, and going around that would detract from the experience.
 
I've heard dxm isn't soluble in the mucus membranes. Just put it in a cap, wipe it on your shirt and down it with a glass of oj. Oral works the best.
