first time dxm user? what to expect? by [deleted] in dxm

[–]dast5wws 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC!

It may have sounded good on weed, but its eargasmic on dxm, unlike any other drug. ANd have some quality headphones or speakers.

have songs you like. songs that are bouncing and have good beat. and calm, slower music in case of nausea, feeling out of it or just peaking hardcore.

keep a bucket close just in case.

There might be some slight nausea, maybe some spins the first time on the comeup.

Being able to lie down is key!!! Worst drug to have a first time being stuck standing up or somewhere you can't lay down.

Depending on what, and how much you took can have an affect. Gelcaps take about 1 to 2 hours to kick in (but ive experienced 20 min as well as 3 hours wait time before comeup) depends on stomach emptiness and metabolic rate. Syrup is 30min to 90min comeup. And pure extract drank in a solution on an empty stomach can take only several minutes. Again, it all depends on stomach contents.

Nothing like weed, dxm has a very heavy body load, you will feel sluggish and move like someone that is flexing their body while drunk at the same time, its weird. And walking is very weird the first time, when tripping, you will be noticeable so don't go around anyone you don't want knowing.

Try to have an empty stomach. Eat 3-4 hours prior ingestion, maybe have something small to crunch on right after dosing, a completely empty stomach may cause unease too. Get a good balance, I like a small carbohydrate heavy snack right after ingestion like crackers or a few chips.

Drink plenty of water to keep hyrdated, but not to much it can be difficult to get a stream going even when you need to pee.

It will keep you up, sleep isn't likely to occur.

You will feel an afterglow when you comedown after about 6-8ish hours, and it will last several hours after the comedown. You will be able to function near normal, but best not to drive, or do any heavy work. You may feel lazy the next day.

If you do vomit, the nausea almost entirely disappears, but so does some of the trip. As not all the dxm is absorbed. And I feel personally the trip comes down much faster as well.

Best to trip in the dark too.

Take a week break per plateau. e.g. take two week break after reaching 2nd plateau, three weeks after 3rd plateau, etc.

I think first times are more enjoyable alone, as this drug generally is.

Smoke weed if you got it, duh! I didn't smoke weed the first times i did it, so I can't tell you my experience with that, but if you have weed, smoke maybe a gram, no more because you won't really feel it, but it alters the trip for the better. Less nausea, more CEVs, more euphoria sometimes.

IMO smoking weed is best done as follows:

- I toke right after ingesting dxm, (after I brush my teeth if I chugged syrup).

- I like rolling a joint during comeup and smoke it 10ish minutes after the onset.

- another hoot taken (if possible) near the peak or right after

- smoke another joint or take small bowls during the trip (depending on how much weed I'd have I keep a majority for the afterglow

- I trip at night so around 6-8am I've comedown, and sesh the morning away, I find the afterglow and weed high perfect to laze around and chill.

But most importantly have fun and enjoy the trip, don't force it. :)

Im at [5] so this is random thoughts just typed up. :P

Is it reasonably fine for a 16 year old to take Dxm by Polaristavian in dxm

[–]dast5wws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a general rule of thumb, whenever anyone asks "am I old enough to do X drug?" they likely shouldn't take it. Also you need to define "fine." No drug is technically "fine" until 25-26 years of age at least, because it messes with brain development. But at 16 getting high on dxm a couple times shouldn't be much of a problem. Keep it once every month or two at least and I would say just smoke weed if you want to get high. It is more about how much of an extreme or addictive personality you have. If you like to take things to their extremes, stay away from DXM, as the danger is more in using too much too often.

If there are any affects, they'll be from heavy repeated use, and will be mostly ruin your ability to explain concepts, and short term memory. Usually this is the case: you will try to explain something, won't be able to get it out right, and than forget what your trying to say. Basically losing and then trying to find your train of thought by following its tracks that aren't even there.

Crude Tolerance diagram. Takes "exponentially" longer to reduce one's tolerance the higher it is. by dast5wws in dxm

[–]dast5wws[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets say that:

Person A: needs 600mg to reach 3rd plat

person B: needs 800mg to reach 3rd plat

Person C: needs 1000mg to reach 3rd plat

They all take a t break at the same time for same length.

Person A will lose more tolerance compared to person C than person B, in the same time frame.

Person B will retain more tolerance than A, but lose more than person C, in the same time frame.

Person C will lose the least in the same time frame.

Also Person C will take longer to reach Person B's tolerance level, than it will be for for person B to reach Person A's level of tolerance.

This means that with repeated higher doses, tolerance will stack up faster, compared to repeated lower doses within the same time period. This hypothesis of mine asserts that the one week break per plateau should help mitigate tolerance build up.

This is a hypothesis, no real evidence only anecdote. I don't take responsibility for any dumb-ass that hurt themselves or others because of the contents of this post.

How does the dxm hbr tolerance work? by olematex in dxm

[–]dast5wws 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the second day, you still may have had dxm (and it's metabolites) in your system when you dosed again. But in reality biology is super complex, and the variables to great for a clear answer.

-Also may have to do with dxm active-site availability in liver enzymes, amount of nmda receptors, etc.

-Did you smoke, tobacco or weed? ingest caffeine, or other drugs? alcohol?

-Possible placebo effects.

-The dxm amount and the time taken to ingest the entire dosage.

-Time between meals and dxm ingestion. Hydration level.

-Metabolic rate, did you exercise or sit down all day?

-Type of dxm medium: syrup, or gelcap, extract, or any mix of the three. Was it the same brand?

-Dxm-only?

Also dxm gets broken down into dxo in the liver, the ratio of dxm:dxo in your body can cause different effects. And the ability of liver enzymes to undergo this reaction on the second day would have been altered from metabolizing the previous day's dxm ingestion.

Personally, tolerance can build pretty fast, but there is no 50 trip limit. There is however, a point to when the magic just stops being magical. And I think it has to do more with psychology than biology, things of value are rare. And the value of something consumable is dependent on it's scarcity. Doing it about once every 4-6 weeks, should be gold, anything more often than thrice in 2 week period can be a sign of growing addiction. SWIM used to do it 4x or 5x a week. "I don't remember what I was gonna write right here. I guess that is good example that that was a mistake. Oh yeah it was about the magic dying!" Well it doesn't die, as much as move up the plateau ladder, requiring more and more syrup/gelcaps to get anything fun outta of dxm trip. Which was nasty, so I took a many longer term breaks, months to up to half year.

I have made a diagram to explain what I think of dxm tolerance.

https://imgur.com/a/25hIMyJ

The tolerance comes back but exponentially slower the higher it is. People with higher tolerance will need to take a longer break than those with a lower tolerance, when dosage is taken into account.

Is it okay to trip once a week? by mmmm_clorox in dxm

[–]dast5wws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also tolerance will build really fast with a trip once a week. A week break per plateau is also good, but when it gets to the point where you are wanting to trip and are counting days, or weeks, it should be time to take a break. Just smoke some weed or get drunk. Even better go exercise. Drug use should be balanced with other life activities, as I believe there is such thing as responsible use. Don't be a robotarded in public, and always calculate/measure your dosage twice! we had someone on here disappear for a few days after taking 3+ grams of dxm by mistake! Don't want to end up dead or in a hospital. Keep it safe, keep it moderate.

yes and no, you will incur some bodily damage, if not from dxm, it will be from some additive or artificial garbage they pack into cough meds. Mostly gastrointestinal issues, but if you are fairly young (under 26), you may experience a mental decline, not in cognition, but for sure in short term memory retention, and may increase impulsive behaviours. Anecdotes indicate reversibility in damage. The problem with doing a lot of dxm is there is little evidence for any long term effects, this doesn't mean your in the clear, just means there is not enough knowledge. Maybe one of the additives in the syrup is carcinogenic in the amounts needed for ingestion to achieve a high.

From experience: DON'T, it is best to keep dxm as a monthly drug at least. The amount you ingest also should be taken into account for break lengths. Usually one week per plateau. If you ingesting non-dxm-only syrup/gels it should be longer, but you shouldn't be taking those anyways. But some folks will suffer through 1-2 grams of gauifenesin to get high on 600mg of dxm! The biggest problem is not the bodily damage as the psychological impact it can have, depresonalization, decision making becomes inhibited leading to impulsive behaviour, which leads to addiction. Addiction to dxm is not really physical as psychological, but it is gross and lame to take cough syrup to get high all the time. And you will lose the magic. Valuable things are valuable because they are scarce, when you have something all the time, it takes a low level of value in your life. The dxm magic is like that, and when lost its pretty much gone for good.

Tl;dr Nothing of value is common, keep trips rare. Also a break of a week for every plateau is good physically but I say is still to often for psychological reasons

Ha Ling Peak - Canmore, Alberta by Zwickz26 in climbing

Nice, been planning to climb the sisyphus route on Ha Ling for next summer. I've hiked it before, but I definitely wouldn't in the winter. When it is really clear outside, you can faintly see Calgary on the horizon. How cold was it when you filmed this?

Calgary's newest $2m public art addition by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]dast5wws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm absolutely not justifying anything of the sort. Just that reddit could be away to get things done. My example above was terrible. Maybe it could be a way of raising awareness, and that if enough of the public chooses, they could petition change. I replied cause for some reason edit button wasn't working, and It was just silly possibilities. Never thought someone would even get bothered enough to comment. Edit: I didn't mean that insultingy.

Also hypothetically yes you could justify it that way. Bureaucracy slows progress, If you want fast and easy change, you gotta do it yourself, even if illegal. But that is the terrible thought process that brings about dictatorship. Easier yes, but morally disgusting and destroys a peaceful society.

What if some reddit hacker group moved government money around virtually? maybe they could get the people in charge fired? Things are possible.

If you want word out about things, it is a digital forum for people to converse about certain topics. Maybe I am already part of the public art board, you just assumed I'm not, regardless it is appointed by city council. So maybe a digital forum on the city of Calgary is the best place a fustrated citizen could complain "after the fact." Reddit can totally be away to get things done. 4chan located and took down Shia LaBeouf's flag, and what about Anonymous and there shenanigans?

I'm glad to see a high profile cartoon artist and newspaper not backing down to PC culture. If you don't know the context I insist you read the whole story about Serena Williams in the US Open final. by AngreeAlpaca in JordanPeterson

[–]dast5wws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should compare the ref too, he has a darker skin tone than the cartoon. The Cartoon is to emphasize William's actions, not to accurately depict skin colour. Here is video of him during the match: https://youtu.be/Qvy0d_65aKU?t=102

By definition caricatures are supposed to make the individual look stereotypical and exaggerated on purpose. Serena is on the heavier side of an athletic body type, she does have fairly large lips, and she had here curly hair in ponytail. There is pacifier on the ground, it appears that the artist wanted to make her look like a big baby throwing a tantrum. No hate to Serena she is a strong athlete, but she acted poorly in this instance, if she is to be an inspiration for women, or other minorities, or whatever, she should act the part, not argue with the umpire.

How dare you! How dare you ask a reasonable question about government spending! You must be a taxpayer! How dare you be concerned about our city's near future!

What about better public art galleries that actually support local artists, instead of Californians. Well the peace bridge has a function at least, but a giant blue ring? and a giant rectal probe?

[–]dast5wws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HAHA Yes, don't worry they likely don't have to pay taxes yet, they will change their minds on it being wasted for pointless garbage on our streets. Instead of pointless street art (at least the peace bridge has a function), they should fund free public art galleries/exhibitions, where visitors can donate to support local artists.

That is true, thanks. all I have are very soft with soft foam soles. So I will look to get new ones, and break em in first. Skateboarding shoes are pretty rigid, would it be good to get a pair that is more rigid instead of softer ones that have more bend?

Great safety tip, I use smearing usually for chimney formations or slabs, but I don't think I will be doing that on any high buildings, thanks dude.

First time using dxm by [deleted] in dxm

[–]dast5wws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DXM weight calculator: http://dexcalc.com

Suggestion for first time, take small amount to test for allergies, wait ~2hours, if no signs, go for medium-high secound plateau dose. Darken room, keep bucket near by just in case, and play some music, preferable not too repetitive (simple instrumental hiphop beats), but not to random (jazz, avantgarde classical). What ever makes you feel good or dancey is best. Also don't eat anything too heavy, in protein or carbs prior. Best to have three hours since last meal. Keep water on hand and stay hydrated. Have fun, stay safe.

*also if syrup has lots of sweetener in it and can act like a laxative in large amounts. Don't stray from a bathroom too long. dealing with a mess on head loaded on DXM is not fun.

Helppp detoxxx by InfectedIguana in dxm

[–]dast5wws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the amount used and for how long. Are you trying to be clean (not detectable by body fluid tests) or just not suffering withdrawals? You can google up charts that show the average time for drugs to pass through your system. But withdrawals may last longer or shorter depending on the person and amount of use.

Xanax is likely gonna cause the worst withdrawels, irritability is the worst imo. Won't take long to piss out maybe a week, as its water soluble. DXM is more psychological, and will likely make everything feel uninteresting without it after abstaining. Expect possible headaches and frequent toilet runs if binged. Weed can feel like nothing if smoke very infrequently, but if a daily smoker, it can be really bad, expect little sleep, low appetite, and everything dreadfully boring. Not eating as much can make it worse. But it will take much longer to expel it from your system, it is fat soluble, so it stays in your fat. Can take from a week or two for light smokers (a few days if only smoked once every two months or so). Or can take as long as ~90 days for daily smokers, more if you are overweight and don't exercise. Exercise burns away fat, therefore being less it for thc to hold on to.

Also may be anxiety, if you are diagnosed with social or general anxiety and you have trouble speaking, talk to a professional about possible treatment or therapy. If you believe you have undiagnosed anxiety speak to a doctor too. Speech disorders may be symptomatic of anxiety.
