Well, I know it is known as a cheapie kiddie high, and sluggin down all that nasty Tussin' isn't the most pleasant thing in the world. But, if your not a dumb ass and get pure DXM without APAP or any other crap it's not that bad, and as I remember it also comes in gels caps. So, not much nasty taste to contend with if you are smart.

Man, I haven't done this shit in year... because I bought into the bad rap like it was a drug only smelly homeless people do, or little kiddies without better shiz (sadly this was me when i was like 14)

But, I just said why not? Rigght?

And, to my surprise 2 bottles (4oz) robo long lasting gave me a pleasant time. No visuals, nothing crazy. It wasn't as heavy as I remembered it.

But it made music great... and I can actually say I am more happy sitting here alone typing this up.. then i would be if I would of just drank a couple pints of jack Daniel's. And its better than any cheap pharmaceuticals i have.. which i have a lot and no long am impressed.

For some reason, it has took my suicidal mind, and put me into a different state- not that it washed the thoughts away completley but I am just sitting here smiling and seeing my thoughts as what they are just thoughts..actually laughing at the thought of pulling it off, instead of being terrified. I dunno I am a crazy mofo..

but, anyways I don't remember this ish being therapeutical before... the only drugs I am rolling with is Xanax 1mg, Lyrica 450mg. And Both I have a high tolerance too. And, they do dick for my depression if i take more than my daily dose they just make me sedated with my eye lids barely open but still the anxious, depressed motherfucker that i still am.


But THIS DXM shit seems to have made not give too shits about life. I like it. Is this normal. No visuals nothing just elevated mood.... no euphoria or anything just a strange peace that I'm afraid won't last. Im Fully in control of everything I was expecting it be much more overwhelming like it was in my youth after doing two 4oz bottles

I dunno, does anyone else feels this shit has useful potential. Anyone else like it better than drinking, smoking weed, benzo's and lyrica?

When I think of DXM.. think of nasty, unclean, useless, piece of shit of a drug, but right now i'm thinking that it's unlike or should i see better than the things I just listed above that I have in my disposal.


AM I just praising this substance because I am under the influence. I never write trip reports so this is unusual. I am not that well versed in Psychs. or Dissociates

Mushroom = took too much ..all shits and giggles at first then came the mind fuck.
2C-T-7 - WHAT THE FUCK- I did too much, or if I didn't do too much I can only say this substance is fun for a couple of seconds..and then you will be reaching for whatever downers you have to abort the trip.

MXE- I am Hoping to graduate from DXM to MXE. *even though i have no idea what it will feel like*

But I am still amazed how much this shit did not suck. I was expecting it to suck way more.

I guess tomorrow...I will try 3- 4-oz Robo Long Lasting (15mg DXM/5ml 118ml) ... because for some reason 8oz didn't really do MUCH just made things suck less. So I am guessing 12 oz might be a little less underwhelming and more psychedelic?
Also
Can anyone tell me is it normal for me to like this when so much other people think its shitty?

Why don't more people use this substance.. just the nasty images that robotussin conjures up?

If this make my life somewhat more bearable and give me some insight that I wouldn't normally get... is there an RC that can do the same but better..if so I need to sign up for that.

A lot of people do use DXM as you might be able to see from the influx of posts here about it lately. The issue is that dissociatives quickly build tolerance and seem to impair cognition when used regularly - so DXM isn't some wonder-drug that's harm free. That said, it does get stigmatised a little, probably because of it's reputation as being a drug abused mostly by young teenagers looking for a cheap legal high.
 
i love DXM, just not as a psychedelic. i like the intoxication i get from first-plateau doses, at low doses DXM feels like a mild roll to me
 
I forget where I read it but DXM is one of those drugs where 1/3 of the people who try it enjoy the experience, 1/3 absolutely abhor it, and the rest are somewhere in the middle.

Even pure DXM powder still has a lot of the negative serotonergic effects that you get with the robocough gels.

I've used DXM on and off for the past 8 years in a number of situations and it has deeply enhanced my life at certain points and helped me cope with odd and drastic changes life has dealt me. It's a good one for introspection, and if you can't get ketamine (or MXE which was never around in my day) it's the next best thing.

The only OTC psychedelic.
 
^ i have about 500mgs MXE left, but i still buy/use DXM. i would rather take 100-200mgs DXM over 25-75mgs MXE somedays as it is not as sedating and debilitating. on dxm, i can go out and do stuff, work, be at class, ect... on MXE i just want to lay down and explore my mind. :)
 
Just be careful dosing with DXM. LESS IS MORE. Once you get past the 700mgs area...just another 50-100mgs can be the difference between having a good time and being too fucked up to stand. Be careful taking 4 bottles at once, that is ALOT of DXM for anyone, even an experienced user. That being said, smoke weed with it next time at the dose you took and it will get psychedelic...You just have to give it a little push...
 
Because half the kids that drink cough syrup are total idiots. I remember watching this documentary on DXM abuse and this kid would admit to stealing money from his mother so he could buy DXM. It's OTC cough medicine for fucks sakes just steal it! You ain't a real junkie!!

Lol this... And because despite dissociatives and psychedelics being two different classes of drugs with completely different effects, many people classify them as the same thing. Anybody who has done both DXM and LSD at least once will tell you that DXM is pretty crappy as far as psychedelics go.

Basically, DXM is a cool drug in it's own right, but a crappy psychedelic (relatively speaking).
 
There is a lot of negative stigma around it, I can see why, DXM was more or less the first drug I tried recreationally as a teen, and weed the second, I basically never did DXM again after I tried weed. Having to steal cough syrup and chug it to get high is pretty disgusting and made me feel like a pretty despicable human being when I did do it. Glad to never have to do that again and you won't see me doing that even if I'm dead dry out of every other drug there is. There were a few times when I got something like 25g of powder for free, but I got sick of it quick and I was really only doing it for lack of anything else. Nobody wanted it, and seeing as I found other psychedelics I promptly got rid of it. When I look back, I don't see any opprotunities missed had I kept the DXM.

Was that your first 2c* experience? 2c-t-7 would be far too overwhelming and have an extreme amount of physical side effects which most people don't associate with tripping, you need some prior experience with basic 2c* to start before diving into the more "interesting" compounds. 2C-B is a great place to start with at 20mg, it certainly has a tendency to have less physical side effects while having incredible constant positive vibes, at 20mg I will be relaxed and open with everyone. Higher doses turn it truly analytical and introspective.

This isn't really therapeutic, in my opinion.

If DXM was helping you to work through and solve some issues or bringing you insight into your life you didn't have previously in a positive light then I would call it therapeutic, the psychedelic experiences that bring those realizations about are not entirely hedonistic though, and are often difficult.

DXM is not really comparable to psychedelics such as LSD or mushrooms, much easier to compare to ketamine or PCP, neither of which have any researched, demonstrated and proven therapeutic potential like that of LSD/Mushrooms.

It's maybe a good idea to seek positive experiences with other, tried and true psychedelics such as LSD and mushrooms and certainly, while not a psychedelic highly therapeutic, MDMA, before putting DXM at the top of your list for "therapeutic potential". DXM will not treat your depression used in that manner though, it'll certainly numb how you feel at the time, it does that very well and so perhaps that's why you're so satisfied with it, it did what you wanted without trying to work to hard to get to a consistently better state of mind. If you enjoyed DXM, it's almost certain you'll enjoy MXE and Ketamine a lot more, as they both do that pretty well without the "dirtiness" of DXM.

All that said, DXM sure is a cheap, easy surefire way to get you some sort of high if you're lacking anything else. "Poor man's acid" won't ever replace the feeling of basking in the sun on the come up of a few tabs of LSD or DOC.
 
`Ok Next Day Follow Up.

I read all the posts and let say I perhaps agree with 90% of what everyone said.

After the good effects wore of at 6 in the morning, The way I started to feel I would have to describe it as dirtiness and griminesss.

It was actually a clean "high" feeling for some sort of time but when it wearied off there was no "after glow" so to speak. I do not know if the way i felt because so much people deem this as a nasty drug, but have to say felt pretty nasty afterward. The feeling of wanting to throw up my cookies deff contributed to it *which didn't happen to six hour later*. That and coming back down from reality - that was a major bummer.

After coming back down to reality so to speak I felt an immediate shame for what I have done. Sort of like the "WTF" feeling I had from when I snorted 2C-T-7 but nothing of this magnitude. That drug is for the hardcore among us. Warning about 2-C-T-7 (THIS SHIT WILL BURN YOU NOSE HAIRS AND LEAvE YOU PRAYING TO BABY JESUS THAT DIDNT PUT THIS FOUL SUBSTANCE UP YOUR NOSE" Say that, at least I didn't stare in the mirror for 5 hours completely dumbfounded and middy psychotic, what my face being distorted from the messed up visuals.

The worst thing I am contending with right now is the shame of what I did while I was on DXM yesterday.

I sent out messages to just about every one on my social network sites, saying things that are too crazy to even put here. Including my family. How fucking embarrassing. It totally lowered my social inhibitions, like made me say thing I would normally never say.. like telling someone I barely know that lives half way across the world that I am coming to visit them and asking them where is the best spot to get drugs..that was the least fucked up thing I said...but you get my drift. I was planning things, that in a sober mind would of never came into fruition, and I am glad some of them wouldn't because the things I was saying I wanted to do I would never have the courage to do in real life.. or like I said nor would I want too.


Oh, one thing the obliteration of social anxiety is good for suffers like me- thats if you would like to hide behind a keyboard, then embarrass the shit out of your self.

But, whoever said they can go to work, and do other social events around REAL people is Crazy. Have you ever looked in the mirror when you are on this crap? You look like a crazed lunatic, well at least I felt that I did.. My eyes, everything about me screamed that I was messed up on some drug. NOT A SOCIAL DRUG, TO BE USED IN SOCIAL EVENTS!!

That being said, even though I took a little more over 8 oz I did not get an extreme psychedelic experience. What I did appreciate though when things where going half way decent was laying in pitch black dark and putting music on, which because of my depression I have lost the ability to even enjoy.. not on this stuff though. Music was great. I was one with the music. I felt alive. This alone I could was therapeutic, made me appreciate something.. maybe not is profound as shroom or lcd but I am a loner and can't get my hands on anything interesting anymore.

If this was the only part I would give it a B+ - thats if you are alone where no one else can see you.

But, then when it wear off it looses major point, especially for uncleaniness you feel. It is a "loser" like feeling. Like I said I don't know if the "loser" part comes from the drugs rep or the drug itself, or just my pleasureless existence.

So, I will not be doing this two day in a role like I normally planned. But, Hey better than killing myself right. Who said drugs where bad? With all the negative, which there is a lot, I believe drugs keep people like me who been depressed all there life alive. Drugs, or suicide. I will take drugs for now. Now getting to my next question. I am going through benzo wd which only compounds my depression and makes me wish I was dead *the downfall of drugs* .. I heard that DXM and NDMA agonist or is antagonist (?) maybe reverse benzo tolerance, is this true? And if so will it shorten, or make benzo wd more tolerable in low doses such as drugs like MXE, memanite (sp) and DXM. I dunno after a comedown from DXM it had me reaching for handfuls of benzo's.. not really conductive to recovery.

ANYWAYS, I think I am going to wait for some MXE, and probably only repeat when I feel the desperate need for an escape from this cruel unsatisfing life of mine. (and try to avoid being seen, or heard from the human race)

Cheers.

I would never tell someone they're using a drug wrong.. But it seems like DXM can be fun in low first plateau doses (for music listening or whatever) or higher third or fourth plateau doses for introspective/reality shattering trips.

If you have social anxiety issues (like myself), any drug that kills anxiety (alcohol and weed included) can result in what you experienced. IME, alcohol and weed usually reduce my inhibition to the point that I can use social networking sites like a normal person, and even then I go too far at times. I can see how a drug that completely eliminates social inhibitions would be a problem in the same situation, and I would be sure to stay far away from social networking sites while on any drug of this sort.
 
I think the stigma of DXM being more 'dirty' than other dissociatives is pretty silly. I've had some real dirty experiences snorting loads of ketamine or methoxetamine, double vision autistic retardation. Some people do get addicted to dxm although I find it to have far less potential for abuse than ket or mxe or pcp or nitrous. I think this is because of its slow onset and long duration, it doesn't cause re dosing as much. I think any of these drugs can have great therapeutic and insightful value about yourself and the nature of self awareness and the universe etc, although this value very quickly dissipates and turns into isolation and cognitive problems with repeated use. I've found in my case doing any of these drugs more than once a month will quickly lead to the negatives outweighing the positives. Read about Jon C Lilly!
 
I always enjoy letting everyone know i am i fan of dxm. Its a realllyyy great time. But me a dissociatives have a special bond. In fact i just dosed 300 mg it should be a fantastic time because there is lotss of weed to smoke!!!

But yea man enjoy dxm its pretty safe if you dont do anything stupid, legal and cheap! I know you have smoked weed with it right?
 
I probably tried it with weed when i was like 14 I was a big pot head and robo tripped quite often but for some reason I dont remember much about that period of my life .. lol

I do know that my first experience with DXM was a MIND SHATTERING experience off of 8 oz me and my buddy were robo walking for 3 days in row, and we had shit to do.. i just remember how crazy it was.

I dunno why this time wasn't anything like that.. maybe since trying 2C-T-7 and going legally insane for a day makes nothing compare ..not even the 1/8 of shroom i ate before was that crazy.

Or maybe I need to do just more, I mean 8 oz (ever strength15mg DXM Hbr per 5ml) was great for music listening and just thinking, but it was nothing much... maybe I need more .... I was reaching for 2nd platue but I am sure I was in the 1st- but maybe it was for the better because I didnt like the comedown, I felt pretty retarted until I took drugs to knock me out.

As for the weed part, I probably wouldnt be doing DXM if I could get weed..lol - I moved, and I am not good at meeting new people so I been dry for quite a while.

The party stores over here sell all types of spice blends, but I am not sure there safe. They are all legal workarounds of Spice, since spice was banned. I heard of some kids that took a couple tokes of this crap that had a picture of pacman on the label and it sent them straight to the hospital.. I dont think they were overreating or just pussys either because I did a internet search and heard it was some shit not to be fucked with.

I dunno I am bored out of my mind, I think I might go buy one of those fake spice blends, dont got any insurance so if I go bonkers I will have to ride it out... haha
 
You post echoes how I felt when I first started using DXM, and you seem to have received similar benefits. I stopped using DXM due to the severe vomiting the chemical causes me. I have switched to MXE, and I urge you to try it. MXE provides a much more clear mind-set than DXM, DXM i find "fucks you up" a good bit more. MXE's theraputic potential outstrips DXM IMO, I feel like I can go into my head and inspect the way I react to situations and change them in my head for good. It's helped me de-condition myself on cigarettes, I just thought up all situations that typically would trigger my mind to think "Let's grab a smoke" and erased that reaction. Now when I want a cigarette it's very easy to turn the craving down and away.
 
^^^ Wow, you make me want to try MXE even more :)

To the other poster- Just walked my happys ass what seems to 1000 miles to a party store that sells "herbal blends" and left with something called K2 XXX Kush. I proceeded to roll a pinnerl.. and felt pretty much NOTHIGN, despite the clerk telling me that it is the REAL thing, and he gets repeat customers.

It could be that I am to drunk to tell if antything is happening.. maybe if I didn't drink as much I would notice it?

BUT- I caught something that I didn't b4 I bought the shit at the part store. On the back of the label it reads: Contains NO JHW(018, 073, 200) HU (218,211) Saliva CP-47, 797 Cannbicyohexanol or any other outlawed ingredient.

If it doesn't contain JHW then what the fuck else does it contain! lol

Maybe if I wasnt pissy ass drunk I will get high off this crap, maybe the ingredient or some special Chinese secret. But for now I prefer yesterday robo buzz, even though I prob wouldn't want to repeat for awhile.
