Last question of the night...

When people are talking about experiences with drugs such as DXM, what do they mean when they talk about a 'loss of ego'?

i would assume that maybe the term is implying a loss of self conciousness...self being...just BEING.

erm...i've never heard of that expression but i think i know what ur talking about (im an x dxm head) anyway, There was a point in my first trip where i was just begining to trip I was walking from my exs couch to her bathroom and when i got to the bathroom i had forgoten i walked across the room to get there...anyway...i hope thats what u were asking.

It's like when you feel like time has stopped and you're a part of everything and "you" in the sense of a human personality means cosmically nil. Like what it must feel like to be air, basically.

or to break it down...... basically what i said.

It is a disasociative, in the same class as ketamine. w4terbong is right, your are pretty much just there. no sense of self really.

where's my prize?

skittles is crazy man makes me feel like shit after, btw does anyone else walk like a robot?

Ooooooooooo i know what ur talking about now...its freaky i dont remember what i was thinking....i dont think I was thinking actually. :confused:

basically what wuz said. it's like you don't even know what it is to "be" anymore, no sense of self, no sense of time, your consciousness expands to encompass the whole of the universe, and you are aware of everything on an acute level and as a whole, every atom, past present and future. Ego loss is why I believe that time is a point rather than a line, with everything existing at once, and the prescense of the ego makes it impossible for us to percieve time as it really is...and that's all i have to say about that

run, Forrest!

i wondered if anyone would get that reference...

i'm on it.

Yo purp Dude..I did that once..

my head felt like a big BALLOON and I felt like my limbs had reversed their joints and I was walking like some kind of bipedal insect.

I even called a friend of mine just to tell him just how fucked up I was but I couldn't understand him over the phone. I could hear him and I knew he was speaking english but some how my brain could not recognize the words that were coming out of the phone..

That was years ago..I was FUCT up fer sure. :eek:

Wow... DXM is cough syrup right?? that's crazy. I kinda get what you mean about existing beyond time and space...but not from DXM... I used to fry on acid and shroom. is it simmilar to DXM?? How many of you all do this. Is there ways to do it other than drinking cough syrup. I admit I held people who did that (people I knew from college) in the same regard as I hold people who huff paint and air freshener and whatnot. Don't think I'd try it but the more I read about it here... the more open I am to it. Sounds like a good time. I'm too old for that now though. hahah

I never got ego loss from dxm, but then again, I only did it once. You can buy dxm in powder form from a chem supplier, then you can measure it out and take it that way instead of chugging cough syrup.

DXM is not like lsd or shrooms, it is a disassociative anaesthetic like ketamine and pcp. I personally didn't like it the one time I tried it, but lots of people seem to.

I imagine they are referring to the loss of a feeling of self.
