Misc What was the one popular drug you tried and you were like “nope, this sucks” I don’t get it.

[thurston]

I picked etoh because it's my least favorite on the list and I haven't tried ketamine which I think would be near the top of the list.

 

[canadianpeduser]

Ketamine snorted was a really ego deflating experience for me. Only took maybe a third of a point to get there. I always tried to minimize the amount I’d take as I heard far too much about K- holes. And that scared the shit outta me tbh lol.

But I enjoyed it very much so.

 

[notsmokeymcpot42088]

I would pass on DXM but not Ketamine (If put in front of me for free lol). I would say it is still worth trying if you get the chance. MXE was a little lighter than said "blank" ketamine feeling IME. (Which was limited)

Ego inflating would be my impression... Could float through hell and still feel perfectly fine

Cocaine and Alcohol

Cocaine I only ever enjoyed shot up or literally first thing in the morning (like taking a fat line as soon as my eyes open). Overall I never found it euphoric or in any way enjoyable. It's kinda fun for Call of Duty.

Alcohol also just makes me feel like shit and immediately makes me crave any sort of hard drug

 

[Conky]

A lot of people seem disappointed with meth.

Probably never had 100% d-meth especially pre covid

Now there's the mexi stuff everywhere

 

[Survival0200]

Buprenorphine.

I just got a slight mood boost from it.

Same thing with tramadol. Didn't like it, because it didn't feel like an opioid should feel like.

I would take codeine over those two. But then again, some people will tell you codeine sucks.

 

[Fresco]

Codeine is my favourite of all time. Its not too strong, and puts me in the right mood.

Too bad its addictive and comes with WD symptoms, otherwise I'd pop that shit all day long

 

[Fresco]

Buprenorphine.

I just got a slight mood boost from it.

I was the same with Vicodins.
Got some after dental work and it killed my mouth pain, but I never got high from it.

Same with Oxy's, got some after knee surgery but never got high from that either.
I was quite disappointed actually

 

[SotPoker1012]

I've snorted coke a couple of times. It didn't really interest me, before or after trying it. It was just "okay" - it felt good, but for a rather short duration and repeated redosing only made the comedown worse.
I'd rather mess with some kind of amphetamine if I wanted a stimulant.

I also never found myself infatuated with ketamine to the extent as other people, yet I love nitrous. It's weird.

 

[notsmokeymcpot42088]

Dose per dose codeine beats bupe every day all day as it is a MORPHINE PRO DRUG (and morphine is kind of the gold standard of opis) and a full Mu agonist. Neither Tramadol or Bupe are full agonists. Codeine gets a bad rap because the liver can only metabolize 400mg of it (Per dose? 24 hours?) and once your tolerance is too high it becomes useless. That and the majority of it is bound to acetameniphen/tylenol.

 

[Coffeeshroom]

But if I could add to the topic for me personally back in the day I could never Huff substances except for 2, benzo or butane gas out the refill bottls, always made me trip with wild hallucinations. The dissociative choice was for dxm as I never tried the ulterior choice. And disliked dxm

 

[Shambles]

I was never that fukked with benzos.

First time I fukked wiv em was when I bought 100 10mg Valium off my weed dealer for a tenner. (demz were indeed the daze…). I lost a fairly enjoyable week but wasn’t overly impressed.

25 years later I’ve tried the lot pretty much and the only one I rate is clonazepam. Rest are distinctly meh imo.

 

[DeathIndustrial88]

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.

Interesting. Maybe it would be worth at least giving a proper try then.

DXM was so unpredictable. Some times I'd have an okay trip, nothing special, other times I'd get so high that I'd have the time of my life & then other times I'd get really freaked out & think I'm dying.

Over the years of 2015-2018, I went through a bad break up. And was heavily addicted to tramadol & heroin. And whenever I couldn't get any opioids, I'd do DXM. So I probably did DXM hundreds of times over just those 3 years. And I can remember a few trips, where I'd be high as hell, but still fine & even functional & then I'd smoke a fat bowl of weed on top of it & it would completely change the trip into something else. And it always came as a huge surprise when it would happen. I'd suddenly feel like my head & body was just completely full of air. And I'd feel like my soul was about to leave my body. Scared the shit out of me. Both of the worst times it happened, happened in front of two different friends of mine. One had to drive me home (I had walked over to her house just fine earlier in the day, then smoked & my trip became something completely different & I could no longer walk lol). And once she got me home, I laid on the couch by my mom & just kept telling her "I think I'm dying". It truly felt like my soul had left my body & was just floating around on the ceiling. And it almost felt like I was watching the last few moments of my life play out, almost like a movie. But eventually I took a klonopin, which helped bring me back down some what & then I took a nap. Woke up later that day feeling like I had truly survived death & was so grateful to alive & sane again. lol

DXM has done some wild things to me. One of my favorite aspects of DXM was the weird paranormal/psychic phenomenon that it caused. Lots of synchronicities & paranormal stuff would happen when I'd use DXM. And my mom & friends would witness it with me, so I know it wasn't just me seeing shit. It got so bad that whenever my friend was having a weird day, she'd hit me up & ask me if I was doing DXM. lol

Does ketamine have that paranormal/synchonicity/reality-altering effect too (if anyone even knows what I'm talking about lol)?

I'm exactly the same, I never understood the fascination with cocaine.
It made me talkative, very alert, energetic, and an insomniac.
The next day hangover was horrific.

I hated cocaine. Did it a few times and never again.

I since learned most users fall into 2 categories.
You either love opiates and dont care much for stimulants.
Or you love cocaine and other stimulants, but you dont care much for opiates

I know people that are cocaine "weekend warriors" and I don't get how they aren't completely miserable come Monday. Maybe they are just used to feeling like they've been chewed up, digested and shat out after the weekend. Everybody is different though, maybe we're just more sensitive to the crash than some people.

I've stupidly binged MDMA for 2 days in a row a couple of times before, and the comedown wasn't too terrible, but other people I know would be miserable for two weeks if they did that.

Here's what I mean by DXM-paranormal stuff..

(Story 1)
November 2015....
Was living with my mom. It was late at night, lots of dark purple & pink clouds in the sky. Was very windy. I was tripping on DXM. My mom might've been drinking downstairs. And we ran out of cigarettes, so we gathered up enough change for a pack & decided to drive across town to the only 24hr gas station to get us a pack of smokes. The whole way there, I'm in the passenger seat trippin. We get our smokes & on the way home, I'm gazing out the passenger window down all the side streets & we pass one side street & I see this giant ass rock, looked like a perfectly globular boulder just sitting in the middle of the road. I assumed it was a hallucination, until my mom was like "Did you see that?"... And I said "what?" and she was like "It looked like there was a boulder just sitting in the middle of the road". I was like nu uh, I thought I was just seeing shit. So we drove back that way to look again, but nothing was there.

So either there was some kind of boulder in the middle of this road & it just disappeared or some how me & my mom had a shared hallucination.


(Story 2)
Some time in 2016...
My best chick friend came over one night to hang out. We were both bummed because my heroin dealer didn't come around that day, so we had to resign ourselves to alcohol (and I took DXM). And I use to be pretty ghetto & we lived in an apartment, so instead of wasting my quarters, I would wash my clothes in the tub & then hang them over my box fan to dry. Well I had a pair of shorts on my box fan drying at the time. And in the middle of conversation, we both suddenly noticed that my shorts were blowing waaaay too hard on the fan for what air current was coming out of the fan. Like these things were blowing around wildly like there was tornado in my room or something. And we both started laughing our asses off & were confused how the fuck they were doing that. And as soon as my friend said "It looks like they're dancing", my shorts suddenly stopped dead in their tracks & quit moving altogether. We both looked at each other perplexed as to wtf just happened. And then I suddenly got this strange feeling that my heroin dealer was at our apartments. And I said to my friend "I think (insert heroin dealers name here) is gonna show up". And as soon as I said that, he texted me saying he was outside my door. Keep in mind that it was like 1 in the morning, so we really didn't think he was gonna be showing up at all that night. When he came in, me & my friend couldn't stop laughing & feeling bugged out at what just happened. He asked us wtf was wrong with us but he wouldn't have understood having not been there just a few minutes prior to witness it. lol But we got to do some nice heroin that night.


And then there were just many times where I'd be on DXM and electronics would malfunction or go haywire. I once watched my cursor on my computer move on it's own & click on a song that I was just about to listen to while tripping. Cable TV audio would some how become pitchshifted lower, so that all the voices on my TV sounded like demons. lol And then there were all the synchronicities. Like I'd go on a DXM trip & be thinking about some one I hadn't seen or heard from in awhile or something during the trip & within a few days, I'd hear from that person or come across that thing I was thinking about.

I also some how amassed tons & tons of friends through the years of 2015-2018. It was like people were magnetically drawn to me. Which meant I ended up having a lot of fun experiences & going places I never thought I would. I had a heroin dealer & a meth dealer who would just give me free shit left & right.

Because of all these weird properties with DXM, I even started using it for ritual magick purposes. Used it to try & get my ex back (I know, sounds silly lol), but guess what? That ex did eventually come back & I've been living with them since 2021. lol

Maybe I was just delusional, but to me, DXM affected something with the fabric of reality. Not always, but enough times to take notice. And I've never encountered another drug that could do this type of stuff. Not even acid or anything.


Pretty sure the paranormal aspect was also documented by that William White guy who wrote the DXM facts thingy.


So does ketamine do any of this type of stuff?

Joe Rogan just did a podcast with a paranormal researcher/scientist named Hal Puthoff, your experiences kind of remind me of it. And they were discussing how our own consciousness seemingly (sometimes, depending on the person) affects our outside reality to a tangible extent. I guess it’s only some people who have been able to do this, some people are beacons and other people are more powerful.

I mean we all could chalk it up to you just being super fucked and having an irrational or warped perception on your experience. But I feel like anything is possible/
