Goddamn, I took this stuff for a cold 12 hours ago and I'm still feeling the hazy effects. Helluva drug.

I heard that if you boil it with some propane and try to distill it, you'll really trip balls.

You might also blow up your house and lose teeth.

I'm at work, so it's cool. My personal coffeemaker makes a great hot plate.

Yea, this form of "tripping" was pretty popular in these parts in my High School days. Unfortunately, kids don't understand the meaning of active ingredients (DXM is what makes you trip) so we had a whole bunch of OD's on NyQuil cause it contains all sorts of other shit that ain't too good for you if you take too much (I forget which one, but if you OD on one of those active ingredients you could bleed through your skin...nice).

Robitussin cough gels are the way to go, the only active ingredient being DXM. Still, it isn't very fun. The time I tried it (ate like 20 of em) I tripped balls for a good 14 hours, but I felt like I was two different people constantly arguing about what I wanted to do (that's the best I can explain it)....so I did nothing except sit and watch TV. It's kind of like being really drunk, in that you can't walk correctly (like a robot. Hence, robo-tripping) You do get some kick ass CEV's, but illegal drugs are so much better.

And that's my drug usage post for the day.

Once again, Shadows, you illuminate us not only on the wasteland that is American youth these days, but fun new ways to kill ourselves slowly. Bravo, sir.

Clearly cold medicine is not meant to taste that good. But Robotussin is horrendous.

Just take it as a warning not to have children. They'll be smoking cross-joints and chugging bottles of Robitussin before you know it.

Ahh, the one drug I'm too scared to try myself. But kids these days....they don't fear anything. And with this kind of trip...



It's only a matter of time before it spreads out of control.

Totally how I would describe it. You just feel wired and disconnected to your motor functions. And yeah, illegal drugs so much more fun.

Edit: And i was raised in southwest Florida. Also, a wasteland of America.

There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of a NyQuil binge.

Glad to see someone explain what Robo-Trippin was. I don't actually know what it means other than being a funny word.

funny story: in high school I once ordered a bottle of pure DXM from some pharmaca lab. Don't know if they made it illegal since (it was only 6 years ago), but it didn't require anything but a credit card on my part.

With that said, it's not the most pleasant trip. Very much a dissociative.

I hope everyone who is tripping on Nyquil bought Nyquil D (the PSE version) that you can only buy behind the counter or else you really are taking a bunch of stuff that won't help your cold get better .. and probably won't get you high either.

I'll default to Lewis Black on this issue: NyQuil is the only thing that tastes like green.

Been there, not as much fun as people had led me to believe. Although, we had a German exchange student in our little group and he wanted to try this. That kid downed like 4 family sized bottles and was stone sober. I shit you not. He was a fucking tank of a kid.

We used to go Robo-trippin' in middle school and high school. We got tired of NyQuil but then Robitussin came out with their medicine in pill form, and it was 100% the drug that fucks you up. We'd take like 10 on a Friday night with a six pack at someone's house and then wake up Saturday morning on the benches at the high school football field. Ah, youth.

Never touched the D.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend using too much Nyquil because of the other ingredients in it. Just get normal illegal drugs like some have mentioned here.

I have never heard of Robo-Tripping in my life. Growing up in Houston of course we got prescription codeine and drank it with Sprite. It really, truly, did make you lean, hence the nick name.

I busted up laughing at this. There's something inherently funny over the phrase "Gummint".

"Norml" was the cherry on top.

In praise of the actual intended use of this product, I swear by its potency in actually combating colds. Soon as I start feeling sick, I run right out and buy a bag of Cold-Eze zinc lozenges and a bottle of NyQuil. Within 3 days - usually - I'm back to normal, and those three days are nowhere near as miserable as they used to be. I also find that sweating your ass off beneath the covers seems to help rush the cold out of your system faster, too. Plus, the fever dreams are cool. They may be assisted by the NyQuil, I guess.

NyQuil puts you to sleep. Sleep is one of the things that helps any sickness. If you're out of it for awhile, when you come to you'll probably feel better. So in that way, NyQuil does help.

I accidentally Robotripped once in high school, not much fun. I had some issues with insomnia and insanity at the time and in desperation raided my parents medicine cabinet, ended up eating a bunch of valerian root and chugging some Nyquil. Woke up about an hour later feeling like I was floating and buzzy and tingly, and so seriously dehydrated that my mouth was a disgusting tasting desert. Dissociative is the word I'd use to describe it all right, my brain felt disconnected from my body, and my body felt disconnected from everything else. 8 hours later I was still sick and floaty and insane, and chugging tons of water while ranting to friends on MSN about how I was having some sort of bad trip on stuff in the medicine cabinet. I didn't have any idea Robotripping existed at the time so I just thought I was possibly dying.

Oh high school, so glad that's over.

Exactly. Usually it's a bitch to go to sleep when you're ill. And NyQuil will knock you out.
