Why I Take DXM

Okay, that bit about God was a joke. But seriously, I took it by mistake and fell in love with it. I had been sick and was at work. I couldn’t drive home because I ride share with someone and didn’t want to come back(its a long drive) and drank a bottle of nyquil to help me sleep in the car. The sky was purple and shapes were inconsistent.  I had been listening to Portishead, who I have always enjoyed, and noticed that the music was now spiritually active. It made me feel things that I had never felt before. I felt, not euphoria, I felt… completed. I didn’t know why I was hallucinating but I knew that I was and was OK with it.

I asked a friend of mine who is heavily into drugs and he explained that cough syrup, when taken in large quantities, is a very strong hallucinogen. He had told me I should not use Nyquil though, as Nyquil contains other medication that can kill you if taken in too large of quantities.

Since that day I’ve drank robitussin on occasion and would really listen to music. While in another world, I would discover truths about this world. I suppose most people would assume the truths I learned were hallucinations and that is OK. I think so too but I applied them to my real life. I learned that while I love a woman who does not love me, it does not mean that I have to feel bad. I don’t have to feel pain or be broken hearted. I learned that two peoples lives can be destined to be spent together with out being destined to be in a relationship together. Friendships can be deep and intimately personal and this knowledge has allowed me to let go of one of the most painful things going on in my life. I’ve learned about drawing, writing, music and love but also about the very nature of God.

I’ve learned about liberalism, too, but that is another post. Until then, everybody who has ever considered doing drugs should swing by their local pharmacy and buy a bottle of Robitussin, make sure the only active ingredient is Dextromethomorphan and chug that shit. Put a trip hop album on and let the world fade away. Your stomach will hurt for about an hour and once the hour is up you will notice you are hallucinating.

It’s legal, not entirely safe though so be careful. Don’t drive or operate machinery.

Be ready to spend eight to twelve hours on another planet.

Love.
