Introduction
This was my first profound experience with a dissociative anasthetic, so I figured best to write a report. I was quite surprised at how powerful DXM is at this dose, as I was expecting a relatively mild experience, and instead found myself in quite a deep state of dissociation.

Dose
Two gelcaps, each containing 120mg DXM, taken 15 minutes apart. I figured by spacing apart the doses I would prolong the experience slightly but lessen the peak.

Setting
My first time at Circus! I felt slightly out of place amidst the posh deco and older, more upscale crowd, but the general vibe was friendly and welcoming.

the experience
At around the 30 minute mark after ingestion of the first cap, I began to feel the onset of 1st plateau DXM effects, similar to my first experience at 165mg. I felt a sense of anticipation and alertness, and my surroundings became different in a way I can't quite describe: it was as if I had found myself in a parallel universe, in which there was another Circus nightclub, everything seemingly the same but undeniably, indescribably altered. I felt very giddy listening to the music, which had become an enveloping, powerful wall of sound. All the orchestras in the world could not compete. Movement became more fluid and effortless.

About thirty minutes later (T+1:00), the second cap was exerting its effects and I transvered up into the second plateau. I felt very heavy, numb, and my movement suddenly became uncoordinated. The euphoria I felt earlier was replaced by complete abscene of emotion: it was as if I no longer had the ability to feel. No longer able to continue dancing, I sat down on a padded seat near the dance floor.

My mind began to drift into a vast expanse of nothingness. Nothing seemed to matter at this point; the world and emotion and struggle had lost its significance. I could think about the most disturbing topic in a completely detached, unemotional manner. I felt warm and exetremely comfortable. My thoughts centered on the absurdity of the human condition: since nothing apparently matters, what is left to do but dance?

I felt I should be lying down, so managed to stumble away from the dance floor towards the chill area (at perhaps T+1:30). What happened in the next few hours is difficult to describe, but I'll try my best. I was lying down, my eyes closed, neither quite awake nor asleep but somewhere in between. Despite the fact that I was alone and in an unfamiliar environment, I felt nothing but complete comfort and bliss. Time seemed to slow down. My internal dialogue slowed to a halt, leaving my mind as clear and open as the cloudless sky. It was if I was sailing in a sea of blackness. In the midst of nothingness, I felt complete.

I felt a sense of warmth, as though I was surrounded by the presence of everyone I cared about, the feeling of being loved and cared for. Memories of past events seemed to drift to the surface. I truly understood the term "dissociative anasthetic", a feeling of floating above and behind the physical world and become nothing more than a spirit floating in a vast expanse of emptiness.

I remained lying down, in this dreamlike state, for a good 2.5-3 hours. When I finally got up, I felt the 1st plateau effects once again, and I began to dance and feel a sense of euphoria return. The effects tapered off, and the return to baseline was gentle and comfortable. I slept soundly, and have no day-after effects aside from a slight headache.

summary

This experience was very different than anything I've felt before, very different from both tryptamines and phenylthemines of which I am more experienced with. I'm not even sure if words like "enjoyable" or even "meaningfull" apply properly to this experience. I have heard DXM became compared to an opiate-like sensation, and while I have no experience with opiates and thus no basis on which to compare the two, much of the DXM experience is what I'd imagine opiates to be like. I can imagine how DXM could be psychologically addictive to those seeking to repress difficult emotions, as it defintely was an "escape from reality". I intend to take DXM once more in the next month, probably at a high dose, and see where it takes me.
