O.K. I searched and searched but I can't find the info I need. I have three 118 ml bottles of Robitussin and I want to try DXM but I'm unsure of how much to take? Anybody have an idea of how much to do?
0mg of DXM is the best dose. try looking up the DXM faq http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq/dxm_faq.shtml the dosage is highly dependant on bodymass as a very generalized rule of thumb (this isn't surefire) 1st plateau - 1.5-2.5mg/kg 2nd plateau - 2.5-7.5mg/kg 3rd plateau - 7.5-15mg/kg 4th plateau - >15mg/kg (be very careful going above this) and not just any robitussin product will work. some robitussin products will work, but contain other drugs as well, such as pseudoephedrine which is very dangerous in high dosages, or guaifenesin which will very highly increase the chances of getting very ill from it. robitussin maximum strength cough is what you want. something with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except for dextromethorphan HBr listed in the active ingredients. even this is very dangerous, and i could go on about why this is probably a bad idea, but you seem like your mind is made up. so just be safe, and read the DXM faq first. dont do this blindly. you can fuck yourself up pretty badly with this if you abuse it. i've had some rather interesting experiences with DXM but it isnt really "fun" just novel and unusual. it's also not very safe to use recreationally. for best results, use the suggested dosage on the bottle to treat the symptoms indicated.
if there were pills containing several hundred mg's of dxm each I'd probably still do it time to time. I still think it can be fun now and again, if you smoke weed with it. not only is cough syrup disgusting but the slimy texture and taste of gelcaps and corcidin are too.
last time i did it i used a combination of gelcaps and the sucrets with DXM in them. nasty, but not the nastiest thing ever. easier to consume than poppy tea, or san pedro "tea" but yeah, its ok once in a very long while. every couple of years i'll use it sometimes. but i dont find it interesting or pleasant enough to really thinks its worth it, and the syrup is just way too gross for me. i haven't ever taken coricidin, nor would i.
Should we start making bets about which lame attempt at getting high kills you?... ..or just rest assured you will be getting butt raped in prison soon enough that you won't have access to anything but a pillow to bite for a quick high??
Ok I guess I'm doing it, I read the stuff on erowid and I feel fine about taking the risks. Edit:Holy hell, the only thing that tastes worse then this is Morning Glory seeds.
Thanks, I will. I should probably drink more water to avoid that... Although I don't know if it will work.
as far as surface effects go it can be a pretty profound drug, but the character of it is too blurry and walled-off. when I trip I prefer more clarity than dxm can provide.
water is never a bad idea. don't listen to me though, when I was your age and drinking that shit I used to chase it with coffee because it was the only thing that got most of the taste out of my mouth.
DOOD I am gonna drink a bottle of robo and listen to Dark Side of the Moon backwards while I look at my Dave Matthews poster in my room with the black light on.
i have only gone as far as third plateau, but the dissociation was unique and interesting, and the CEVs were more definite than those i've had from traditional psychedelics, even if they were not as crisp or intricate...mostly blobs of colors...but much more definite is all. i found it interesting how when lying in my bed and closing my eyes my mind could completely detach from my body and essentially float around in its own world (a definite sense of movement for me) and just sort of hang out there.... i did think there was a lack of clarity. i couldnt think at all....just exist. exist nowhere...with nothing to think about...with very definite but boring visual play. to top it all off, i did get sick, and the itching was so bad i was afraid of scratching through my skin. i tried getting in the shower to see if i could help alleviate it and stop scratching so much. it didnt help. eventually it got strong enough i was able to just lie down and explore the mindscape though. it was interesting in many ways, but not fun or pleasant. and i found it to be one of the most shallow, unfulfilling "psychedelic" drugs i'd ever taken. i'd much prefer mushrooms.
Holy hell, now the room is spinning with The Doors all over this room, I don't feel "trippy" but in this weird way, I feel right.
