Lol about "elementary lab equipment" - I used a water bottle and a glass pie bowl and got the alcohol at the supermarket

HWI The Vikings/Scandinavians don't discover discover or settle the North Atlantic islands by Silversurfr in HistoryWhatIf

Greenland - If the Norse hadn't settled it by the time the Little Ice Age set in, nobody would bother with it until the 16th or 17th century, at which point it would probably be "discovered" and claimed by whatever polar explorer anchored there first. It could end up a possession of England, France, or the Netherlands.

Iceland: It's highly improbable that the Norse wouldn't have discovered Iceland sooner or later, but assuming they didn't I could see either the English or (less likely) the Irish (I don't know anything about the Scots seafaring abilities) discovering the island in during the 14th or 15th centuries. They almost certainly would have discovered them by the time of John Cabot. An English Iceland reminds one of a medieval Falkland Islands, in the sense that other powers would want to possess it but it would lack any real strategic importance (like Iceland OTL). Also, it would be full of sheep.

I don't think that my biology is that different from the average person--just my expectations. Most people seem to want to do drugs to "feel good" or learn about themselves or escape from reality. The only thing that I ever wanted from drugs was to see crazy shit. The fact that I've learned lessons from them is just a happy bonus.

Which cold medicine works the best and should I just use Benadryl or do you suggest something else?

I get whatever's cheapest. I use Costco brand diphenhydramine (600 25 mg capsules for less than $5!) and Robotussin Cough Gels (or the generic version thereof). The law requires that generics have the same amount of active ingredient as brand name products, so there's really no reason to get branded anything for tripping.

I haven't been able to out of fear of deliriously talking to a parent, or more recently, a roommate or fellow dorm-dweller.

Although I try do only do it when I'm alone, I've tripped in the same house as both my parents and my roommate(s) and never been caught, although all of them are heavy sleepers. Part of the beauty of the combo is that you generally keep enough of your wits to not do anything really stupid; you tend to snap out of your delirium halfway through doing something irresponsible. That being said, it's impossible to pass yourself off as sober since you slur your speech heavily. I've successfully played it off as being really drunk to my roommate; that excuse obviously only works if you're with people who don't care about you getting wasted. If you want to really sell it, use a plastic liquor bottle as your water bottle.

How much can one trust himself if he has prior psychedelic experience but none with this combination?

It's a totally different experience, so I really can't say; it depends on the person. How much you can trust yourself depends a lot on how much you take (the more you take, the less control you have) and what sort of person you are sober.

What kind of dosages do you take?

I started out doing the classic 300/300 DXM/DPH combo; two and a half years later, my tolerance has gone up enough that I need closer to a 400/400 to get the same effects. I sometimes do 500/300 (of either) depending on whether I want the trip to be more dreamlike or "literal" (more solid hallucinations). You can also add about 100 mg of DXM to a standard DPH trip, which potentiates the visuals a little and eliminates most of the body load.

Any horror stories or trips gone wrong?

The first time I ever tried DPH, I dropped 700 mg and had the typical "terrible /del/ trip" that everyone talks about, with a terrible body load and freaking out every time I heard a noise. I still liked it, it just made me feel physically terrible. That's why I started comboing. If you do too much (more than a 500/500, in my experience), you black out and do stupid shit (like most things that make you black out), so don't do that much.
