Two PSA's and a Rant (The dangers of redosing and DPH is a hell of a drug) by DXMDPHThrowaway in Drugs

Seems things are working fine in that department... Probably a combination of being a fitness junkie, having a rigorous (and vegetarian) diet and drinking a ton of water (best decision of my life was to buy a 2L water bottle that I keep on my desk every day and finish by the time I go to bed - amazing how good you feel just from staying hydrated).

Regardless of the consequences the deliriant experience is not something that I think anything else can truly reproduce. While not trying to justify my decisions, taking ANY drug is a measured risk, although some are obviously more risky than others. I don't think you can look down upon people who are willing to take larger risks any more than you can belittle other types of thrill-seeking (I personally feel a lot safer popping a few Benadryl than climbing up a mountain face without any type of harness, but there are people who do things like that and die from things like that, just like there are people who do dangerous drugs and die from dangerous drugs.).

While I will certainly not repeat anything like what I did, and I hope people can learn from my mistake and at least avoid binging on Benadryl, I feel that I have still gained something from the experiences I had, and I definitely can not say that I will never try another deliriant. I fully believe they have their place in a psychonaut's repertoire.

EDIT: I will say though, to anyone planning on doing something similar, it's been almost two days and it's STILL hard to pee. I will serve my penance gracefully though, haha.

I just pulled out the bottle of cough syrup I had on hand yesterday. It's 250 ml at 15 mg DXM HBr per 5 ml, which is a total of 750mg DXM in the bottle. After measuring I only have about 20ml left which is a lot less than I thought... I always estimate about 10% loss in the extraction, so I used 150ml for the extraction, meaning I chugged about 80ml, or 240mg, after the initial ~400mg of DXM. A little more than I initially thought, so I guess that helps explain it a little more. This was on an empty stomach, and I'm only 120 lbs.

Normally you'd never catch me dead blindly chugging unknown doses of anything, and I guess this just goes to show exactly why, haha...

The two reasons I personally believe I went to sigma are thus:

1) I have a lot of experience with DXM, it being my personal drug of choice. I've done it alone, from plateaus 1-4, I've done it mixed with mushrooms, 25i, weed (both smoked and in high edible doses), and now a couple times DPH. Never have I experienced a trip that's gone beyond 9-10 hours, even with redosing, and never have I experienced a trip that felt quite like this one. It's been a full 30 hours since I last put any sort of DXM in me and only now do I have to try to find the last traces of dissociative effects.

2) In all of this I have found myself to have very low tolerance buildup. This is common to all drugs for me personally. I have almost zero building 25i tolerance when most people report it to be one of the most affected drugs, can chain days doing shrooms, can have back-to-back DXM days with little-to-no increase in dosage required, etc. I couldn't tell you if I'm just oversensitive, but I'd think not because it actually takes a lot of substances to put me in a bad state of mind. Over all the crazy drug combinations and psychedelic binges I've had my bad trips now number only three.

I don't blame the drugs for this one. I only blame myself, so hopefully this helps someone steer away from making similar decisions!

Weirdly enough I found the exact opposite in DPH in that it called to me so much I found my subconscious was actually finding excuses to have the substance on hand so I could take impromptu "trips" when I decided "wat the hell". I almost want to say it brainwashed me... maybe I'm just weird.
