"walking may become difficult" understatement of the century

The least biased and most biologically inclined channel I can find. Wonderful work sir

When I took 500mg I was sitting on my TV watching the couch

DXM, cannot run life, I get about 4FPS

I used to do DXM when i was homeless. Made life more interesting.

I took 16 tripple c's and ran a trail in my city (about 3 miles) at full speed at midnight with no light, i didnt stop once i just ran as fast as i could, after the experience i realized i could literally run anywhere any time. I was seeing visions like full on dreams. My friends who i was with saw me running and were absolutely blown away at the speed i had.

DXM is the drug that makes 15 mins seem like a lifetime.

Not gonna lie, on a dose of around mid to high, I ended up feeling like my body had Resident Evil 1 tank controls.

I personally had an addiction to DXM for years, first starting in high school every weekend, then after moving out on my own I did it daily for months, almost over a year. DXM should not be done that much and in such excess, I was drinking 2-3 4 oz bottles every night. I gave myself serotonin syndrome multiple times, but not severe enough to go to the ER. What made me stop was multiple psychotic episodes, one so severe that I ended up running around naked at 1AM around my town thinking my girlfriend had disappeared. I was arrested from 2 of those episodes and had to deal with legal trouble as well. Since then, which was about 2014, I have never touched it and I am terrified to. Be careful with this stuff, legal doesn't mean safe.

Ahh, DXM. Fun times, but never again.

I'm around 110 kg and took 900mg and had a complete out of body experience, as if my mind and body were traveling to other dimensions while I was an observer sitting inside my head. I was completely dissociated and detatched from my body. I remember having voices in my head telling me to kill myself to end my nightmare experience while I watched the clock stand still. The time literally stayed at 10:15PM for hours. Set and setting is VERY important with this drug.

The most amazing experiences I've ever had on drugs came from dxm, no lie. It can be unbelievably intense and dissociative

I've never thrown up so smoothly than while on DXM

I once got lost in my childhood home. I was playing a video game for like 2 hours before I realized I was in bed laying down with no games near me. 1200mg that night, what a time.

The term "robo tripping" is brilliant because both words individually as well as both expressions each have 2 implications. Robo (Robitussin) Tripping (Hallucinogenic effects) Or Robo (as in robot-like movements) Tripping (loss of coordination/motor function while walking) It's a brilliant term really

Currently laying in bed. Headphones on tripping on a nice 2nd or 3rd plateau listening to for whom the bell tolls. Lets go friends!

DXM literally changed my life from the second it hit me the first time. I believed I had died and was a new creature- a literal resurrection. I started believing all kinds of crazy shit like I was a prophet. It took it like a year to fully wear off and to this day I still have light episodes of crazy thinking 💭

I had a breakthrough by accident on this stuff. Where I realized I was taking so many parts of my life for granted

As a kid whenever I got sick, I'd get a helping of Codeine cough syrup, and free access to the Nyquil gel caps in the bathroom I think I just realized why I liked my "sick days" I would stay home, mildy trip, and play Super Mario 64 😎

Dxm is god tier vibe juice. This is coming from someone that's done over 65 different substances

I'm very happy to see you finally recreated and remastered the old DXM video. It seemed like forever since you last uploaded I was worried the channel was fading away. Keep up the good work.

You don't put out a lot of content these days but I'm damned happy for you for sticking with the channel. It's helping everyone that comes across. This information is valuable no matter what your plans are with recreational substances.

I've always enjoyed this channel. However I am surprised to find such an indepth and non-biased video on a drug like dextromethorphan. Well done.

This was the best explanation of this drug I've heard. Im 7 years clean but dxm will always be (in my personal opinion) the most intense drug out there.im just glad to be alive and not in a braindead coma.be safe guys and learn what you put in your body before taking it ❤

Heck yeah I've been waiting for this video for a long time!

Another fantastic video ! You are probably the most important channel on drugs on RU-vid thanks !

Best antidepressant I've encountered. It also helped me stop smoking within two days

This is an excellent and very informative video! And here I thought I already knew a lot about DXM. Great work!

Just brilliant, I can't remember the last time I was glued to a video for 28 minutes like that, I even felt a pang of disappointment when it was over haha. Love your work mate, thanks for being awesome :D

Gotten to plateau sigma before. Craziest stuff man. I didn't know where I was but it seemed like some cold arctic place, I saw colorful creatures float in and out of the dimension. Some were friendly, taking on animal forms. Others seemed more creepy and sinister, so abnormal and surreal.

This is such an informational video. Like I have never found a video til now that explained it so well.

So refreshing to watch a truly objective and to the point youtube video. Very comprehensive and informative, awesome video thank you so much.

Good to see you back :D

Love the channel! Super cool to learn about all these different drugs. Keep it up.

The most informative description of dxm i have ever seen. Thankss for that

I think this is the perfect video on youtube, great work keep it up!

I used to use pure DXM powder fairly often, something I always noticed the next day along with a mild Hangover / Comedown was a lack of colour in my visual field, almost like a grey-scale effect that lasted all day.

I remember taking like 10 of the gel capsules and wanting to talk to someone and just share my crazy thoughts. But I had no one close at the time so I just started writing everything down. It was a decent trip but definitely left me with a sore jaw just from clenching the next day. I remember seeing my bedroom extend to different sizes and crunch in smaller.

I did DXM over 40 times. But I gotta say this video is INTERESTING AF my God I learned alot. Thanks 🙏 “TheDrugClassroom”

Great information keep up the good work !!! Harm reduction information is the smart way to do the whole drug thing.

Hey man, I've been watching your videos on drug safety for about a year now and they're really informative thanks! I'd really appreciate it if you could do a video on 1P-LSD as id like to learn more about this RC and its safety before taking it. Thanks again for all you do man!

Thank you, people really need these types of videos.

I just took 575mg of DXM (not my first) about 15 minutes ago and am watching this lovely and super insightful video waiting for the monsoon to carry me away!

Finally, a video on DXM.

I used to view DXM as such a moronic and immature choice of substance...but wow, I was soooooo wrong in pre-judging it! It is an extremely far out substance with very impressionable effects. I have had some profound experiences with DXM...especially when mixed with high doses of kratom. It's quite a load on the cardiovascular system, but the euphoric results are beyond what MDMA and other entactogens/empathogens have ever graced me with! Wild stuff!!!!

That was an amazing rundown, thank you

This is honestly one of my favorite things to do so simple and nice

Super informations about dxm ! Greatings from germany

Excellent job!!

I took the photo at 25:35 it was spring 2006 and I uploaded it to erowid later. Glad to see it used. I particularly like how liberty is displayed on the dime; usually what 8 tablets gave me.

thank you for keeping me alive and helping me thru my habit with this. much appreciated sir

DXM has always given me some of the greatest spiritual experiences. I would take DXM over any psychedelic.

This was an exceptionally thorough video. Although I enjoyed experimenting on my own, this outline of DXM’s effects is very helpful for anybody attempting to safely experiment with this drug. Always start low- this one is WEIRD.

Just got done checking out some of your podcasts on Spotify it’s awesome:)

Thankyou for making this!!!

*Thanks for posting and sharing this with us, I really enjoy learning about different medicine on what it's for and the side effects without reading some little paper with even smaller print* ☠️

One of the most special drugs i've ever taken in my life, subtle yet strong, euphoric yet down to earth..

very good job on this btw

seeing events that didn’t happen its very surreal and sent chill down to my spine

My 300mg trip involved an egodeath visualised by dozens of knives and swords stabbing me, while being narrated by some orc voice telling me how ugly and cold death is. Was playing shadow of mordor that day. Took me completely out of my suicidal state of mind. Also came to the conclusion that consciousness is spirit, that we get reborn until we're perfected and merge back with the spring.

Glad to see this got reuploaded I love me some dxm almost more than I love alcohol but at least with alcohol I can work the next day after 3 bottles of dxm your basically disabled the entire day after

great educating vid man

y’all ever accidentally dxm trip when ur sick and have to take it

DXM is one of few substances that have given me proper hallucinations, as in seeing things that aren't there. And it's one of few substances that are more enjoyable in moderate doses - 1500mg had me totally incapacitated

800mg, I couldnt walk, and my fan took me into another world

@TheDrugClassroom i do not know if enough people tell you this but are a hero (at least in my eyes). Young teens who don't know enough about drugs but, they will take drugs while they are not going to put in the work to find literature on drugs and inform themselves. Atleast if they find these videos before trying the drugs they can try to use better risk reduction with use.

Definitly subscribing to this channel

I've done a handful of what people consider "real" drugs like weed, shrooms, etc and I still have a great respect for this substance. I did DXM for my first time last Sunday. Yes, I am an adult. I am an avid psychonaut and wanted to know how it felt and how deep of a trip I could possibly get from this "high schooler drug". Honestly going into it, I just expected to feel a bit drunk and stoned. All I can say is *wow.* The effects are just so strange and unique and I found it really interesting. I did have quite a deep trip, I 3rd plat'd and it was my first time doing it. It turned me into a zombie for the following two days though, so I plan on only doing it on special occasions.

When I did DXM I couldn’t stop laughing at what the shadows were probably thinking about me.

I tried 100mg yesterday that was amazing 🤩

I binged off dxm a couple days ago and I genuinely think I may have given myself a temporary form of seroton syndrome because after I had gotten out of my trip, I still felt a deep sense of anxiouness and dread, along with being extremely confused and having to deal with memory loss but it is slowly coming back and I'm starting to feel ok

To anyone who is interested in DXM, I highly recomend you start with a small dose trip. first take like 30-60 mg to make sure you don't have that rapid metabolizer enzyme thingy (this makes you extremely sensitive to dxm. this can be extremely dangerous in large doses so start with a low dose to see if you have it or not.) After you can take like 300mg. You'll be robo walking at this dose and seeing some slight visuals. (assuming you're average weight if you're lighter then lower the dose, if you're heavier then up the dose) first time doing DXM I took 600 milligrams at 145 pounds, and I have never been more messed up in my life. I was more messed up than the time I took 3.5 grams of shrooms without any prior shroom experience.

60mg of dxm daily helped me overcome depression when I was at my lowest point last year.

Thank you so much for this video

Well done & comprehensive

Well done. Might be worth mentioning that that afterglow can lead to full blown mania and psychosis when used frequently.

Holly big bang. I am on dxm now

Had my first 3rd plat a few days ago. It was fucking awesome. I was in the past, present, and future at the same time. I was also listening to music and sad songs brought me to tears.

This is the best explanation to it

Jeez I remember when I was younger I tripped on this stuff once and was playing dead space on my 360. I WAS ISSAC! It was awesome!

I took DXM, died, went to purgatory, which was my apartment, which I was trapped in because my entire life was dream I had, because I was actually in a coma in a hospital due to being in a car accident when I was a child. Everything was trying to get me to wake up from my coma, to come back to the real existence. Every youtube video was speaking to me directly...thinly veiled hallucinations uttering the words of the nurses and family members begging me to wake up. But to go wake up was to die in this dream purgatory, to give up, stop fighting and enter a cold, dark tunnel, to sleep and let the overdose take me through the darkness so I could wake up in a hospital bed. Beings from another dimension that is present now, but invisible to us, and beyond time (capable of seeing us in all states and times at once) could become aware that I was an unexpected visitor to their plane, and temporarily able to pierce the veil into their dimension. They were aware of my presence and able to either bless me or decide against in. I received a golden blessing from a Chinese dragon entity there. This dimension was the place where gods, demons, spirits, angels, ghosts, some aliens and higher order energy beings exist, and it is right here, but we are separate and invisible to each other, usually. Also, somehow, I was aware my desire to hide from the world and always wear a mask and never go to work created the COVID-19 pandemic. I manifested it. Sorry world. Disassociated, detached, attaching meaning to everything, feeling I was definitely dead, time dilation, rabbit holes of thought, trying not to die/sleep, elevated heart rate, double vision, needing to chug a gallon of water, water-intoxication, ridiculous walking spasms/balance, panic, watery shit, unnecessary emergency room visit.

I love this stuff, it's so much fun. If I have a cough it reduces symptoms and makes me feel normal.

Great work, thx

0:22 all I need to know

DXM + cannabis = 🔥😉👌🏼🔥

i took only enough to get to plat 1 and it was great. i wouldn’t say it’s better than mdma or that it even comes close, but it gives me that little bit of euphoria and the increased music appreciation is great too

Very well done

I hallucinated SOOOOO much on DXM in high school. It ruined my liver but was a hell of a high in adolescence

This shit is super fucking awesome and extremely psychoactive feeling. I remember laying my bed on 1500mg. Watching my room go from a square into a circle. Watching my celling turn into a checker board and geometric patters rippiling through everything. I developed a dependency to DXM. Be careful. It's not addictive unless you're careless.

A very good channel

thanks this was very useful! helping harm reduction and really did serve for educational purpose! good job

I took this stuff a couple days ago and oh boy was it interresting. I did almost everything wrong that you can do wrong when taking a drug, I didnt research beforehand, I didnt know the dose i was taking and I didnt really even know what to expect. Long story short, I spent the whole night sitting in a porta potty, shitting out water and enjoying it. I dont regret it but i sure as hell wouldnt do it again.

52:12 I would like to add that a lot of Dextromethorphan containing products do have acetaminophen, which will kill you at a fairly average recreational dose. However, most of the products that have specific labels like DXM, Dextromethorphan, or Robitussin don't have acetaminophen. Just check the ingredients before you consume DXM. Also, don't do Dayquil, even though it was on the thumbnail.

So DXM for some strange reason was on my bucket list of things to try. When I did, it made me realize how spot on your information is about it! Seth I absolutely love your channel! I would love for you to do a video of Tianeptine!

havent used for about 15 years, but remember vividly. very nice time

I used to be heavily addicted to DXM. Would take upwards of 1,200mg a day for years.... Seriously took a huge toll on my cardiovascular health, still dealing with chronic high blood pressure...

I overdosed on cold medicine when I was 14. I was at school, and felt like I really was going to die, so a few friends carried me to the nurse. My mom was called and she went with me to the hospital. My heart stopped, and they thought I was dead. I remember bits and pieces, and remember seeing my mom crying and telling her it's okay and that she did nothing wrong. Obviously they brought me back, because here I am. Unfortunately I did not learn my lesson and only had brief periods of sobriety before becoming an opiate addict, then alcoholic. It's been a long, awful journey. I still struggle, but I do feel like I'm finally able to fight the demons and do well for myself.

very interesting content

The first time I used dxm "recreationally" I was very uneducated on drugs in general but especially DXM, it did feel like time was stopping to me and I wasn't enjoying it, I thought I was going to die because I had an anxiety attack and thought my heart was gonna explode lol I'm not a fan of dissociatives
