Marijuana.

I think the high sucks, and they grow that stuff way too strong nowadays.
I took a 25 mg edible once and I couldnt wait for the shitty high to end (which took about 8 hrs) :cringe:
Interesting. Actually edibles were the time I really enjoyed the trip - I was thoroughly fucked up though but flying before I managed to get on the real plane lmao 😂
 
I voted for ketamine. That said, I do like ketamine, I just don't understand the disproportionate hype, especially compared to other dissos. After years of wishing I finally got to taste and intranasal, IM, k-holed out, whatever (never IVed it though) all I could liken it to was a glorified, slightly cleaner DXM trip. And if you use the right formulations or extract, DXM isn't very dirty at all imo. K-hole I would liken to a strong 3rd or a 4th plateau DXM experience, but foggier, not as lucid, and if you overshoot you just black all the way out, which is no fun and a waste. Also I rarely use DXM anymore for anything besides opioid potentiation, but when I do, I'm okay with paying the price of a box of cold medicine. I'm not okay with paying the regional asking price for a similar but much shorter experience with ketamine, and I'm sure as fuck not going to shell out four grand a month for a k-clinic lol.
It's true the hole is not so great compared to psychedelics imo, but it's really cheap here so it rivals dxm in cost and I personally prefer the short duration. Dxm is much warmer but also leaves me drained the next day

Only happened once when I was in my teens, but I don't know which category to vote for.
Amyl Nitrite, I was told it was amazing, so took a huge huff of it and spent the next minute trying to hang onto life, or so it felt, my heart went from it's normal 45 bpm to perhaps 245 bpm or more, I just felt as if I was having a heart attack, no nice feelings whatsoever, simply the "I'm going to die" feeling. Gradually it wore off and I kicked the guy who had given me it, told him he was a fucking cunt of a bastard :batterup: but still let him stay a few years :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Interesting to read.

I've only had ketamine in a surgical setting a few months back. I remember looking up at the monitor above me and they shot it in me & it was like the monitor froze in my vision & my mind just disappeared for a bit & suddenly I was waking up in recovery. Kinda of felt DXMish. I even looked at one of the ladies working in the recovery room & told her "I feel like I just did DXM". I don't know if she had any idea wtf I was talking about though. lol She just smiled at me.

I've been wanting to try ketamine recreationally. I've been on probably hundreds of DXM trips at this point. I can't use DXM anymore because I noticed over the last few years, I'd get what felt like costochondritis for 3 days after doing a DXM trip. Like I'd get a tightening sensation in my chest, which hurt when I breathed in. And some times I'd feel weak like I have the flu. It usually lasted anywhere from 1-3 days and then it would go away. I didn't connect it to the DXM for the longest time until last summer when I did an experiment. Tried a DXM two different times & both times I got that weird costochondritis thing after. Stopped doing DXM since & it hasn't happened again.


But I guess I can basically say I know what ketamine probably feels like at this point if it's just a glorified DXM.
 
my take:

DXM is a serotonin bodied hallucinogenic psychedelic depressant with prominent dissociative qualities
Ketamine is a PCP-akin strong dissociative anaesthetic that is stimulating then all encompassing and fairly psychedelic at hole doses, giving a motor loss like drunken imbalance but I don't think it's very depressant like
 
Now MXE I should probably be glad i never got to try lol, given my (now latent) love for dxm, and with it being a stimulant dissociative, and stimulants being my Achilles heel... yeah, probably a good thing lol.
Mxe is the best drug overall imo. It’s worlds above any other dissociative as an overall drug. I find dxm a bit more complex psychedelically but mxe is way more hedonistic and recreational. Mxe can be a functional stimulant, analgesic sedative, a psychedelic, it’s got it all.

Dxm is a way more interesting drug than k, the euphoria it produces is also…way higher, ketamine has pretty low euphoria imo. Ketamine is very clinical and dry.
 
Only tried it once and it was honestly one of the most beautiful experiences I have had with drugs -- started off bad. Got a gram or a half g idk as a sample -- Made 20 (20 or 30mg lines), and put it on a plate, came back to find 5 left and my pops tellin me that he thinks I got some "Funny coke" (alledgedly--- RIP -- not from this to be clear haha) So I explain the situation and that he should be trippin balls and he burst out laughing so things are going good. I did two figuring if he did 15 lol --- even my ma ended up doin one and we watched shoot james franco, southbound and down guy -- had a midieval theme. --- @ any rate we all decided the movie was definnitely "made for people tripping" and it was a very bonding and wholesome time honestly.

I will echo LSD on that; one of the only drugs I would like make phonecalls if I heard someone had

Mxe is gone but lsd (real) is still pretty rampant. i mean mxe never took off like some of the popular drugs like pcp, mdma, or lsd. I can’t understand why it didn’t it’s so obviously a gem.

You parents sound cool as shit by the way.
 
I guess i've never felt the real "nope this sucks" feeling then! Everything else has had something interesting to offer.

Never tried temazepam. I can imagine the "hypnotic" type would be more entertaining, a bit more like a z-drug.
You’re not missing much with the temazepam. I’d say clonaz and xans would be much better . Even with low tolerance 60 mg of that shit barely did much to me. They were the generic capsules so maybe not as good but overall meh

I have to agree it is overated but I still would prefer it to clonaz or xans. If I had more leverage with my doc I may ask to switch back. (prolly not smart its been like 12 years since i asked for something "that wouldn't raise eyebrows" as the pharmacy were real dicks about it *accused me of forging a script once) But I do miss the hypnotic effects.

MXE is gone forever or just outlawed? I have not seen it on any *legit* menu's in many many years but I figured it just caught a ban and may still appear as EVERYONE I KNOW preferred it to ketamine. (A rare analog result). --- And Thank You LSD one of the things I take great comfort in is that my parents were very genuinely empathetic decent people. (Haha my pops was a professor at a university and it was tough for him to maintain both lives. ex. I got free tuition so of course I attended and in between classes I would meet him outside while he had a cigarette --- a rumor on campus popped up he had a gay student lover he was smoking joints with outside of the building. ***Holy wa those kids have an imagination lmao**

Damn. I guess I won't even bother with ketamine then.

I've had some profound euphoria & mystical experiences on DXM. I also had really bad trips where it literally felt like I was dying or my soul was leaving my body. Some times some very awful side effects reminiscent of serotonin syndrome-like side effects (burning sensations through out the body, shaking, etc.. )

I wish I could still stand DXM. I passed my "50 trip limit" a long time ago. And now every time I try it, I get that weird costochondritis shit.

Dxm is too taxing for me to do it too often. Takes too long for the time I have to spend really messed up and the next day is totally fichu. I appreciate Ket for it's easiness. I have a solution always ready, takes 3 minutes to pull out and push in and effects are always reliably felt with a couple of minutes. After one-2 hours I'm able to function again. Depends on the dose ofc but it's basically my plan B for everything... And if I want more I shoot a hole dose im. After 5 minutes I'm off to another plane. There's no other drug this practical imo.
No need to prepare much or hide for longer than a pee would take. No need to keep the stomach empty, no waiting for the effect to finally kick in after hours or bother with the drip unless you want to... 🤷
 
I’d have to say I loved real Valium the best out of any benzo I’ve tried. I can appreciate this thread as it really down talks coke and crack. Nobody needs to be helped down that road of shit addiction. For anybody curious or never tried coke or crack or IV coke or whatever, none of it is worth the risk. I basically classify it as dirty as meth is nowadays. And I've had pure cocaine many times. Almost always regretted doing it

Ketamine you won't feel that, fear (most emotion in general) is absent from ketamine, that's an addicting aspect of K. going blank like that is addicting.
