Any DXM freaks out there that could kindly explain to me what the hype is about? I see posts all the time from kids saying they love it and do it a lot. I don’t get it.

Ask me anything, OP.
I have been everywhere in the Dextroverse. I love it. Haven't gone there in a long time, but I know all about it.

Samefag here.
I think part of the "hype" comes from inexperienced, naive, and ignorant crowds/individuals who have only ever gone into the first two plateaus or so. If they had ventured any further, they wouldn't talk about it as if it were some gas station spice shit.

During that wierd period between age 18 and 21 it was an easy way to get fucked up on something I could walk into a store and buy. I've only taken it once since I turned 21. Now that weed is legal in my state I started using that again too. The side effects of dxm are really bad for a lot of people.

How is it enjoyable for you? I’ve done it I think 4 or 5 times in my life and every time it’s pretty uncomfortable and has a weird vibe to it. I’ve gone up to 900mg (2 robocoughs) and I just threw up violently and then got so high I like disappeared for a few hours. Came to and I was just a vegetable for the next 6 hours or so.

Samefag again.

For me personally, it all happened on accident and over the course of a couple years. I tried some off brand shit just to see what the hype was about, if it actually worked, etc. It was the summer before 10th grade, I believe. I had just started smoking pot not long before that and we were starting to experiment with other things and I was the one who decided to try it out. I passed out for a while and woke up in a euphoric drunk-feeling state. It was blast. I think that's where most kids call it quits.
Later that year, maybe even the year following, a few friends and I decided to all do it together. MIND BLOWN.
We did it with name brand stuff and smoked some grass. I remember being outside of my own body. I was seeing myself from multiple angles at once while simultaneously viewing the world through my eyes. I was walking very rigidly... Eventually, I got home somehow and I put some music on. What beautiful sounds. It was like I could hear all the layers of sound just as well as I'd be able to see different colors painted on a wall. I kept experimenting with it and things just got crazier.

100 percent agreed. DXM trips can be horrifying, and the effects can last for days. Dissociation, which is the primary affect on the mind, is NOT fun. Taken to it's extreme, it can drive you completely insane.

(samefag)
DXM is also for desperate losers who can't find real drugs.

I fell in love with the euphoria, the seemingly-divine knowledge, and the ABSOLUTE INSANITY of the thoughts and closed-eye visuals. This was what I wanted. I wanted to think these things. I wanted to see what would normally be almost impossible to imagine. I wanted to be able to spout of unconnected words for minutes at a time. I liked how insane it was in the farther reaches. It just seemed to match where I was at the time mentally. It took me and threw me right into the wilderness of absurdity and psychedelia, but when it did so, it was always with a feeling that it was not intended to hurt me.
And aside from that insanity, I also fell in love with the complete loss of ego that really influenced me and how I look at things. I became more understanding, more thoughtful, less "ME" oriented. I got some answers that I wanted.

I did, at a few points in time become so detached that I was later told that I would sometimes fail to complete sentences, would often lose track of what I was saying, trail off, etc.
I also recognized at the time, that I was starting to have some very psychotic and borderline schizophrenic thoughts and ideas. But they weren't as far gone.

As I said, this was around the age of 15-17 or so.
My longest stint was a few months where I was consuming it almost every day and every day at school and work was like a dream. I still think that it is a super unique drug and experience unlike any other that I have had since then. I've pretty much done everything I had wanted to except DMT as of now.

You can buy it over the counter. That's the biggest appeal. If you like stepping outside of your comfort zone and exploring a different state of mind then it can accomplish that. It's not a fun drug per se, it just makes things different. Weed is fun, ecstasy is fun, meth heroin and crack are fun (until they take control of your life), shrooms and LSD are badass.

that shit made my blood feel like magma, i would get these intense waves of hot, stinging pain from my head to my feet. maybe it had guaif in it idk.

If you take a high enough dose it's probably the one of the most intense drug trips you can have

Yeah, dude. The guaf is no good, but I did ingest an awful lot of it. Either way, though, the shit will increase the fuck out of your blood pressure. I used to just sweat all the time. People thought there was something seriously wrong with me at times.

Okay OP here, a few questions I have for you. Do you think you’ve recovered from your dxm abuse? Or are you still taking it regularly? I was abusing acid heavily for a period of time and throughout the last few years I’ve had similar loss of concentration, and just a general sense of being borderline schizo like you described. I don’t feel like I’ve fully made it back, probably never will. Does DXM have the same potential to permanently change your consciousness/psyche?

I believe that every substance has the potential to alter your psyche. When I started smoking pot (which I rarely do now because of work), I had a lot of "man, I need to stop being a dick" moments and I really chilled out as a person in general. I'd reflect on a lot of things that I normally may not have contemplated in the same manner. Those ideals have stayed with me. The same goes for everything else that was so new and peaceful. DXM is one of those things for me. I got into that years before I ever got to try LSD or most other drugs. I don't regularly use DXM anymore. I want to, but it's such a HEAVY high and it takes so much out of you sometimes, I just don't know if I'm ready to go back. Maybe I just don't have the time. I have some robo cough lying around, but I haven't gotten into it. I have found that for the most part, I'm more into acid and other things of that nature these days. I feel like I got all I can from dexing and when I really dive back in, I want it to be worth it. It's also hard to mix with other drugs due to the extreme dissociation and whatnot.
Aside from that, I know that there have been studies that lean toward the potential for what are called Olney's Lesions, which is basically brain damage to some degree. For that to happen, though, you'd have to really go hard for a long time.
I've taken the lessons with me, and I try to keep them in mind. I'm much less of a dick due to certain drugs, and that's one of them.

Samefag here again.

I also wanted to add that, of course, I do believe that certain lessons or ideologies, etc, could definitely be attained through life and experiences, but I feel like certain substances (DXM for me in this case) are capable of engaging some sort of "cheat codes" as it were. I feel like I got to realize a lot of important lessons about just being human and being open-minded and more willing to listen and understand things and people in general much quicker than if I would have had to wait for circumstances to give me those same ideas... and who knows, maybe some of them would have never appeared otherwise.

let me bump this up before i explain

fuck

Okay so I started using DXM when I was 18, had (and have) a lot of problems in my life and it was an easy way to escape. It's a deceptively powerful drug for being legal and OTC. The best way I can explain it is that it felt like a reset button and it worked for me as a sort of antidepressant. I wasn't super addicted to it, I did it about once every 1-3 months, depending. Made many important, critical life decisions after a night of what I would call "cleansing"

I go to a high up private uni on a full ride scholarship but I hate the social atmosphere and being from a poor background, it helped me cope for a while. I'm 20 (almost 21) now and cutting back to last autumn, I took a semester off and stayed home due to massive depression. I had become a pothead in my sophomore year as well, so after losing my temp job in the autumn, I sort of lost control and started abusing DXM like I hadn't before.

DXM is not physically addictive but I went on a weeklong binge, was doing it every other day. I noticed the trips became increasingly darker, would think about horrible things and my blood would boil. One trip (edgy as it sounds), I started thinking about the inevitability of death and got a dark burn in my heart which caused my blood to boil.

Well, one day last November after taking 450 (high 2nd plat for me), I went in the shower at the tail end of the trip and decided to take 900 and go for plateau sigma - downed 2 robocoughs and immediately threw them up but it was in my system anyway. Went downstairs and smoked some pot with mom - only time I've ever hallucinated in my life and i've done acid 5x and shrooms once. Proceeded to have a damn near psychotic break, was up for 3 days, and when I finally fell asleep i had a horrible false awakening/sleep paralysis episode where i thought i had a stroke.

Had severe brain fog for nearly 2 weeks, couldn't even write an email properly to my uni (took me an entire day to write an email), took a full month to recover and I thought I permanently fucked myself up and became retarded.

It permanently changed the character of weed for me, it's never felt the same since that trip, and I stopped doing drugs entirely.

Don't do drugs, kids.

i used to do a bunch of 3rd and 4th plateau doses when i was a teenager. dxm is for people who cant find real drugs let alone good ones

>real drugs

wild read my man

yeah it's pretty crazy, sometimes i think i became permanently changed from it
