what is a disassociative?

[rek]

i've read several posts referring to different drugs (dxm for example) as disassociative. what exactly does that mean? what do they do and what are some examples?
thanks!

dis-associates you from your body.
makes you feel not like you.
can't be explained. out of body experience is all i can say.

Its like most "trip" drugs, it cant be fully explained it has to be experienced before you can understand what its all about.
Check the Erowid.com "Experiences" section, look up the drugs Ketamine, DXM, PCP, Nitrous. Those are just a few examples of disasociatives.

Yah, what everybody said...can't really describe it until you do it. It's kinda like you're mind floating above your body or something like that, but you just gotta find out yourself. Peace.
