Stories written while on DXM (submitted by Greendrag) ...It is sort of like being omnipresent. Wondering through time and through different dimensions. Connecting my usual plane of consciousness with the elevated one I am currently on.

This summer, 1997, I didn't have a summer job for the first time in years and years, and since my interest for drugs had grown, especially the more psychedelic one, I decided some self-expermentation would be a good way to get a few non-happening summer days to pass.

Pneyz's Experience (submitted by Pneyz) ...It seemed that my anatomy was setting out to disprove the fundamental laws that govern the elasticity of objects. I was stretching, but not in painful ways. My body had finally decided that it was partial to a ellipsoid shape, when I realized I was now traveling at a fair speed towards the center of a mottled green torus. I passed through the donut hole and fell out of the clouds onto earth.

Experience with 600mg (3rd Plateau) (submitted by Scott) ...I was numb all over. I was my spirit. I was flying around my mind. In a vast space. It was a very enlightening. Almost like a spirital expeirence. I felt like i was one with every thing.

A fourth plateau tale from Evilfrige (submitted by Evilfrige) ...As we drove I stared at people on the street...they were all dead...or perhaps just rather sickly. I looked in the rear view. My face was uglier than the people's on the street.

A vivid trip involving multiple substances (submitted by Shostiru) ...I began to look around me. I felt suddenly shocked that with such incredible beauty and energy around us, we as humans choose to spend our time in sterile and unnatural surroundings. It felt as if a black veil were dropping from my soul, or perhaps as if an evil spell were being banished. I could sense the life and joy around me in the trees, the clouds, the skies, and even the stars. There was life all around me, and I could suddenly see the pattern to it.

A journey in the astral body (Submitted by Sage) ...it was like this world only without a mask of ignorance to observe it through. As if there's a mask of some kind hiding the truth of this dimension that was only then to me removed.

Bildow's DXM trip (1 1/2 bottles of Tussin DM) (submitted by Bildow) ... heres somthing to do while robotripping thats pretty interesting: Stand up,and walk back and forth swinging once at the air everytime you step ahead.

Dehydrated Trip (600 mg Sucrets) (submitted by Melvin)... The moral of my story is this. DO NOT take DXM if you are sick. The inert ingredients in the cough drops probably helped to flush my kidneys and speed up the dehydration process.

DXM-Vodka Cocktail (parts 1 and 2) (submitted by Melvin)... Recently I read something about diluting the powder in 100 proof vodka. I grabbed a bottle of Smirnoff 100 proof at the store and decided to give it a try.

Welcome to the 3rd Plateau (submitted by anonymous)... What was odd, was that it was smaller than a proton and more immense than the universe, at the exact same time.

Purple Haze Hyperspace (720 mg) (submitted by GenoCyde)... I slowly heard this slightly familar voice singing "PURPLE HAZE" and I saw a oddly dressed black man kind pull a magic 3-d eye thing out of the black liquid and start screaming lyrics to a song that seemed so strangly familar...

Ace's Dexperimental Report #1 (150 mg + 354 mg) (submitted by Ace)... By 7:40, my room was quite dark. "In-a-gadda-da-vida" was in the CD player, and finally the effects began to creep in slightly. I didn't even realize it until I noticed I had begun dancing a little when the drum solo started.

Revelation (submitted by n-carnation)... Then Hazy stopped, and with a blank face started to smile; a revelation. Hazy cautiously turned and saw a flower where the beacon was. A flower so beautiful, incredible, and full of life it made Hazy stumble.

My First Terrible Experience With DXM (submitted by anonymous)... I remember hearing very loud high pitched screams that sounded like a girl was getting gutted. At this point i began to get scared and nervous.

Smoking a Rat? (submitted by anonymous)... And for some reason I got some sort of odd thought in my head that "smoke a rat" was a cliche of some sort; a phrase frequently used, and I thought the irony would be wonderful if I actually did smoke a rat.

Really Weird Experiences (submitted by First Time Charm)... I basically felt as if I were just floating along, very light and carefree.

DXM and Flasher.exe (submitted by dexdbob)... I could also tell that I was moving my eyes up, down, and about like REMs (Rapid Eye Movements) during sleep, so I could be able to see my surroundings.

Tussin Space: Transdimensional Emergence

A Night in DXM Space

Poor Man's PCP : an article about DXM taken from Pills-a-go-go magazine, author actually decides to find out what DXM is like for himself, drinks 8oz, explains the trip that follows. Portrayed in a somewhat negative light.

EASY ACCESS: The latest fix is Over the Counter : a newspaper article from the March 13-15, 1998 issue of the Cheboygan Area Tribune, a newspaper based in Cheboygan, MI. The paper gives a typical example of how media would prefer to spread lies and misinformation about DXM just to get more money through an "interesting topic". The sad part is that this is nothing compared to many news articles I've read on other drugs.
