Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, DXM Hbr
DXM is considered a dissociative anesthetic and a psychedelic. It is a glutamate antagonist and acts on as many as five receptors in the brain. DXM is currently not a controlled substance in the United States thus making it legal to possess. It is similar to Ketamine and Phencyclidine. Effects of DXM vary with dosage and an individual’s body weight and tolerance to the drug.
A wide range of emotions may be reached through DXM. Empathy, Euphoria, Analgesia, Dissociation from reality, and feelings of reptilian or alien energy are all examples but many more are achievable. 180 mg is a sufficient amount to cause a minimal effect. The effects will become noticeable within an hour after ingestion. With 360 mg the effects are much more pronounced. It acts more of a dissociative than a psychedelic. Body movement has a more interesting feeling to it. The desire for one to dance and move about may be very dominant. 540 mg will result in a strong trip. Pain is less noticeable. Minor ego loss is very likely to occur. It is common for one to have feelings of detachment from self. Empathetic effects are very noticeable on smaller dosages while dissociative effects are more pronounced with higher amounts of the drug. With very large amounts, 700-1000 mg, the intoxication is extremely heavy and may be dangerous for one to be in an undesirable environment. On any dosage it is wise to have someone you trust watch over you and act as a tripper sitter.
DXM Hbr is readily available. It is commercially available from research chemical companies on the Internet and is the contents of many OTC Cough treatments. Maximum Strength 8 hour Sucrets contains 10 mg for every lozenge and 18 lozenges per box. They are around $4.00 and can be found at most pharmacies. This cherry flavored drug candy is a very easy way to consume DXM and is much more palatable than Cough Syrup. Another way of ingesting is to dissolve the Sucrets in a small glass of water and consume this. The taste resembles strawberry milk. Or one could simply bite them into smaller pieces and swallow them whole as if they where a pill.
DXM Hbr is not water soluble therefore one can perform an easy extraction. Crush the Lozenges into a fine powder. This can be done with the back side of a spoon and a plastic sandwich bag. Now place ½ cup of water for every 18 lozenges into a microwave safe bowl. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 45 seconds on high. Now, stir it until the Sucrets have completely dissolved into the water. Pour the contents into a shallow glass dish and allow the water to evaporate. DXM Hbr powder will remain in the dish. One may encapsulate this powder for a very easy method of ingestion.
DXM is a very interesting and useful chemical. But it can be dangerous at high doses. Dissociatives are considered the most dangerous of the psychedelics because they have the possibility to render you completely incoherent to your surroundings. A safe starting dosage for someone around 150 lbs is 300- 450 mg. It is possible to experience mental addiction to DXM. This can be prevented through infrequent excursions and responsible use. Be safe, be responsible, and enjoy the wonders of Dextromethorphan.
