A FEW DAYS AGO

Blogging about them, I am. 

Oldest first, a few lulz with my DXM trip.
DXM is an abbreviation for the chemical: DEXTROMETHORPHAN, which is a cough supressant. Triple C's is what I did, which is a box of Coricidin Cough and Cold (it is also the same chemical found in Robitussin, which is commonly known as a Robo-trip). They are a box of 16 count, 30mg DXM pills, which are shaped like skittles and have a candy coating (they taste pretty good, too). It takes about 30 minutes from the initial consumption for it's effects to begin, so it's weird. It's like everything is normal until small things just start looking different, and you start hearing weird noises and other stuff. It's not as strong as an acid trip but when you do anywhere between 200-900mg of DXM at a time, it's quite a trip. (In other words, doing 8 Triple C's is about norm what people take to trip off of, but you can take a whole box and it's even stronger.)

Here's the story. 

Me and my friend Storm were staying together last weekend, and decided to do some Triple C's one night. THe way you buy them, you must be 18, go into walgreens to the pharmacy counter and act like you have a cold and ask for the "Coricidin Cold Medicine because it looks like they ran out on the shelf" (there will be an empty slot for them on the shelf, but they are never there because of DXM tripping, so you have to ask for them at the counter. so it's for the sake of acting innocent and not like you're gonna trip on them so they don't call the cops or anything, being an 18 year old pot head, that' an easy thing to happen) and act like you have a cold, they ID you and ring it up. It's always akward buying them. But you can be creative, like write up a small shopping list in sloppy handwriting, and act like you're shopping for someone else and list a few things at other stores and under "Walgreens" just write it on the list, and ask the person for help that you need to find this thing, if they can read the handwriting cause you cant.. It's fun being creative. 

Well, we picked them up and decided to visit his mom in search of a little marijuana. He got a phone call from his gorlfriend and she broke up with him, then we decided to leave and visit her for a moment to talk things out, which didn't work... so we drove back to his brother's house (we were staying in his basement) and he was ready to trip to take his mind off of her. We watched a few funny videos on youtube to begin with and then took out the pills and split the box (240mg each, it's a decent trip)... We continued to watch funny videos and got bored so we smoked a couple bowls to hopefull set off the trip, since we didn't feel anything. since that wasn't working we decided to take a walk around the room, he went first and started playing with two pool sticks saying how cool it would be to use them as drumsticks. He did not know he was starting to trip. HE said the walk around the room felt good so he thought he might be feeling a little something, like a slight head-change but that could have been the pot so he wasn't sure if the CCC's kicked in yet. I took my walk and as soon as I stood up i felt a little dizzy. I shrugged it off, saying that I just stood up too fast, but something was urging me to throw these 5 stuffed puppies at storm. IT was just like the puppies were telling me to throw them (I wasn't full out halucinating yet, just the urge, like a strong feeling to do it). I started to wish the puppies were talking to me. 

I took one puppy and threw it. I missed. Storm didn't notice. I threw another one and it hit his laptop screen and landed in his lap. I laughed. I threw the third one and it hit him in the face. I laughed harder. I flung the fourth one and it flew over his head. I still laughed even harder. I threw the fifth one and I don't even remember where it went cause by that time I was laughing so hard I didn't even watch the puppy fly. 

I decided to head over and see what he was talking about with the pooldrumsticks. I asked, "wouldn't it be a bitch to hit the bass and high hat pedals?" then I started doing some weird dance acting like I was stepping forward to hit the pedals and still drumming with two poolsticks in my arms. I kept it up till I smacked him in the head with one of the poolsticks and decided to sit back down before I hurt someone. 

I then complained that I still wasn't feeling the DXM and that the puppies and drumstick antics was just the pot. Little did I know it had already started. I needed to go take a shit, so I headed to the bathroom. I saw a small shadow of an old electric heater cord and thought it looked odd... It then turned out to be the tail of a mouse that was in the bathroom, so I finished my business and told storm there was a mouse in the bathroom and we should squash it. We went to look and couldn't find it, just the cord's shadow and dirty clothes. We gave up soon and went back to the computers sitting on the table. We found some videos that were supposed to trip you out without even being high and watched them. We looked at the wall after it was down and everything was going wavey. I was about to lose faith in DXM for good cause I still didn't feel like I was tripping. Usually when you trip on somehting you get a "high" feeling then all your wild images. DXM is a little different. You feel exactly the same, but things just start happening weird. If you've never tripped before, DXM would be a good beginner drug cause it's halucinations are mild, it pretty much is like you're awake having a dream, unlike acid that's like everything become so clear and strange and trippin balls hardcore. 

After watching a couple videos, Storm started feeling sick staring at the wavey walls and decided to lay on the bed for a while. I watched some more videos. I got bored. I decided to fuck with Storm. Storm has a low tolerance for DXM because he's slightly allergic to the drug and he trips worse than most people off of it. He told me that the last time we did it at my house he was in my room sleeping while I was on the couch, and he layed awake and said my walls turned into pillows and my brother had a demonic voice when he came over in the morning. 

I took an 8 pound rubber ball (it looks like those walmart bouncy balls but it's full of sand) and threatened to throw it at him several times, watching him freak out and put his hands up to catch it while laying on the bed. I tossed it aside and picked up a child's chair made of light foam and a felt covering and tossed it at his head. He freaked out and flung it across the room, noticing I just threw a chair at him (it weighed virtually nothing). 

He then said while he was laying there, he was staring at the TV (which was turned off) into the reflection and saw a guy dancing behind him on the reflection but was too scared to turn around and see him. I got pissed off cause he was trippin and I wasn't (even though I was, I just didn't know it) and wanted to smoke a cigarette. He agreed, and we walked into the bathroom to look for the mouse again (WTF???). We then put on our coats and headed upstairs (we stayed in the basement). We forgot to turn in a light on our way thorugh the kitched to th eback door and it looked like the darkness was a solid mass I was walking though, it was so weird. It took him a second to unlock the door, but when we were outside I told him I was freaking out in the kitchen, like the dark was a black furry "bubble". I then admitted that I was starting to feel the trip. We lit up and ventured off the porch to look at some stuff while on DXM. I didn't look off at anything cause I was too intrigued by the glowing cherry of my cigarette. I took it and moved it in small patterns in front of me, completely mesmerized to the point I just HAD to share the joy. 

I took my cigarette and waved it in random patterns in front of Storm's face, but he started yelling for me to quit and that it was making him sick. I stopped and took a couple hits, and he walked over to the edge of the driveway and started puking in the yard. A dog barked in the neighbor's yard in front of us, which made me aware of my surroundings... that I was outside and to not focus on storm but to turn around and make sure nothing's behind me. No, I didn't not realize I was outside until the dog barked. I turned around to see Clay's Truck in the driveway, it's face staring at me... It started to scare me, so we walked around to the other side of the truck to the other half of the driveway. I ran when I got next to the truck because there was water on the concrete and I wanted to get through it without it turning into vines and grabbing my ankles like I imagined it (it was near midnight, but streetlights from far off kinda gave us a little bit of light to see by). After I escaped the truck, storm started puking off the other side of the driveway. I laughed then looked up at him as he kept walking into the woods. Suddenly he vanished!

I freaked out, cause I could not see him anymore, and that big black bear was coming straight towards me from the woods. My best friend just got eaten by a bear. I looked to the left and saw a giant turtle reflecting off the light shining from the ground-level basement window. I hid behind the truck and stared off a different direction towards the woods. The bare trees in the dim light looked creepy so, I put out my cigarette and headed back in. I had to swim through the solid blackness of the kitchen again to get back to the basement, my only safe haven. I sat back at the computer to regain my thoughts, and Storm headed back down the stairs a few minutes later. I realized that the bear was just storm who had stepped into a shadow and vanished, when I saw him heading back out of the woods I thought it was a bear. 

I told him outside at night is a bad trip. He went to the bathroom and puked again. He said he didn't feel bad that he puked but he still blamed it on me waving my cigarette. I sat in front of the computer for a few minutes when he came back out of the bathroom and layed back down in bed. I searched for more videos but didn't watch anymore but a screamer which I turned off the computer. Storm's laptop was still on next to me, and I heard a little evil laugh come from it, which freaked me out. I tried to boot Grand Fantasia but it started flashing and the enemy coming at me killed me cause it freaked me out. The screen suddenly went black and the computer laughed again, so I closed it and turned out the light and went and layed down in bed. THere was a bit of light in the room coming from the large computer monitor I forgot to turn off and the electric fireplace beside the bed. I layed down next to Storm (because I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to sleep in the same bed as my best friend) and stared at the celing, which like most basement ceilings was rafters. I started freaking out that the rafter was going to fall on my head so I looked to my right towards the light of the computer monitor to comfort me and turn my trip good again. There was a large almost like a closet space directly across from the light, so I could see a big black square in the wall. I focused on it cause it was scary, I didn't want anything coming out of it. I then started to hear a goraning noise (it turned out to be the Aic Conditioning, I think) and decided to direct my focus to these two big columns in the center of the basement. It looked like the sillouette of the twin towers, then it looke dlike legs. They started moving closer to me and I switched my focus elsewhere. I looked on a round table where some junk was laying... It started to look like little shadow people dancing on it, and it amused me for a little while, until I rememberd what storm said earlier, so I turned my back to that side of the room and faced the TV. I don't think I focused on the TV at all because I noticed the VCR above it was making weird patterns with different colored light and it amused me some more. I then noticed some chair off in a dark corner of the room which looked like it was spinning around and around, then I noticed something (I still haven't figured out what that was) that looked like a strange angled something... it almost reminded me of a solid black Porygon or something all 3D and full of angles, but it was like stretching from one wall to the bedside table, which I though was weird. I rolled back over cause the spinning chair was feaking me out, reminding me of a haunted house or something and I didn't want to think of bad things cause it would freak me out. I saw the two giant legs again, but they were also angled between the round table and the floor right in front of the bed now. It confused me, so I layed on my back and looked at a piece of the ceiling, afraid it was going to fall on me, until I saw little people holding it up and telling me that I can go to sleep and they won't let it fall on me. I told them that I trust them, and dozed off watching them work. 

I woke up the next morning, and Storm was already awake. HE then told me that he didn't sleep at all, staring at the same spot in the ceiling as me afraid it was going to fall so he had to watch it all night to make sure it didn't. Our trip was gone now, and we went outside to finish our cigarettes. HE looked to make sure he didn't puke any in the driveway and I walked over to where the giant turtle was. It turned out just to be a kiddie pool shaped like a turtle, but it was still scary. We started telling each other about our trips and how badly we both freaked out and deducted it's a bad idea to watch trippy videos on the internet then go outside at night while tripping. It causes bad halucinations, almost like nightmares. We then got off talking about wanting to do acid during the day and hang out in a park or something. By far, that has been my strangest DXM trip, but even better, I can remember very vividly almost every single thing, almost like it were a really weird dream, and one of those you can remember from when you were like 5 years old. It was awesome.
