Do you all remember Triple C's?

After the discussion about the D.A.R.E and Just Say No compaign on the Jefferson Sessions thread, I reflected on what drugs I consumed in the few years after I graduated those programs.

I did my first drug deal at the age of 12. I met this black guy in the middle of the street nonetheless, in broad daylight. If anyone witnessed this transaction, it was quite comical. He made me pat myself down--I was so confused as to why he was making me do this, and I'm sure the look on my face reflected that. He sold me a dime, and I went home and smoked it the first chance I got.

I had smoked a decent amount of times before this first drug deal, so the feeling of being high wasn't new to me. I went and laid down in my bed and shut my eyes. All of a sudden, I visualized a clock that I was strapped down to-- the second hand to be exact. I imagine my heart beat was what I was feeling, but my mind made me envision this clock. So, I'm going around on the clock, and then I hear, "it's time." Now, I am not sure if I said aloud "time for what?" But I definitely questioned it. The clock all of a sudden disappeared and the word, "DIE," appeared in bright red letters, and I shot straight up.

I wasn't right for the rest of the day. It really shook me. Nonetheless, this experience didn't deter me from experimenting more with drugs.

The following year, a friend's older sister enlightened us about Triple C's. For those of you that do not know what Triple C's are, it's Coricidin Cough and Cold OTC medicine. From what I was told by her, I learned that we could get fucked up on it. My friends and I saw the opportune to try it out on a school field trip. We each took 20 pills, and were awfully excited to see what would come of it.

That particular field trip just occupied the morning. The pills hadn't taken effect, and we all just wrote them off. How wrong we were to write them off was going to be apparent in the afternoon.

I'm sitting in my math class, and I start feeling weird--very fucking weird. I look around at my friends and I could tell they were experiencing the same weird feeling. It just escalated from there, until my teacher noticed me and the look on my face. She asked me if I was feeling alright, and told me to go to the bathroom and try and get myself together.

I didn't return to class. My next period was intramurals. What makes this story better is, my dad was one of the P.E teachers at this school. So, at this point I'm like fuck, he's going to know. Luckily my dad was not my P.E teacher, and my teacher happened to be out that day and there was a substitute. I walk into the gym, see the sub, and immediately head for the bleachers.

I had not been sitting down for more than a minute when the substitute came over to me and told me I could not sit out until I shot three baskets. Unwillingly, I got up. I was team captain of the basketball team, so this should have been an easy feat for me.

Wrong. The substitute passed me the ball, and I completely missed catching it. It rolled to the other side of the gym, near where my dad was sitting. I avoid eye contact, grab the ball and run back over to the goal. I shoot. Air ball, completely missed the goal. I wasn't far away either. So, I retrieve the ball and try again. Same shit happened.

I looked at the substitute and said, "I give up, I'm going back to the bleachers." I sat back down and reflected on how fucked up I was. About 20 minutes later, and with the high increasingly fucking me up more and more, my dad called me over to speak to me about something. I get up, and I completely fall straight on my face.

I surely thought the jig was up, and I would be found out. I got up and went over to him, and he asked what was wrong with me. I told him I didn't feel well, and asked him to please take me home. Surprisngly, he didn't question why I didn't feel good, and proceeded to take me home.

I slept for 16 hours that day. That was my first and only time taking Triple C's.

It was a ride.

Used to have two buddies that would get two boxes of mucinex dm , eat all sixty tabs and wash it down with a bottle of dxm. They could barely walk because of the legs issue you get. Really shaky legs and you can't feel em at all. They'd be driving around like. Sadly, one of them never woke up again and the other has been on synthetics so long, he'll never be right again.

That shit was nasty

I was too busy overdosing on Xanax only to wake up and not remember what happened.


[10 Points] templed_mind_:

I'm more mature now, but I'm still down to try them for the novelty


[10 Points] ruraltortise:

still have the scar on my ankle from my buddy who threw a concrete garden border brick (you know the kind your grandma uses to line her flowerbeds) at me and shattered my ankle. both of us on about 4 boxes of triple c's each. never did them again. every time i did triple c's i always felt like i was missing something. like something was supposed to happen but i could never figure out what. thank god for solid L nowadays. purposely od'ing on otc shit always made me feel like a crackhead.


[9 Points] ACrafty:

Not at all. I've known since a young age that getting high off of overdosing on OTC meds is a stupid idea.

Uhhh... triple C's will fuck you up in a not good way. You don't ever want to take triple c's you want something with ONLY Dextromethorphan in it.

Man I remember back when I was into robotripping my friend and I got the great idea of boiling down liquid DXM caps into a syrup and then baking brownies with it. I'm not going to lie, that shit got us FUCKED up haha

This brings back some memories. Good shit. My homeboy once put 16 triple cs in a bottle of Robitussin down the hatch it went


[1 Points] Uniqueusername151:

Looool damn. I never tried it, but my old friends used to love that shit. They would only take like 10-15, but some took more. It was funny watching them all fucked up.


[1 Points] PuffDaddyMax:

15-18 was my sweet spot. I enjoyed it until I came across real L. The headspace with dxm is just wonky asf. Wasn't all for me, like being drunk on nbome with a little K thrown in.


[1 Points] Threwawayobservation:

Haha nice story. I love those things. Started eating them when i was 14 and ate em everyday till 16. Then again for a few months when i was 18. Now I'm 20 and i eat em from time to time. Just ate 24 like 10hours ago! DXM will always have a special place in my heart.

who remembers getting fucked up off of dimenhydrinate?


[1 Points] Rowgem:

I once had 150mg of DPH and 750mg of DXM, and a couple bowls of some decent herb. I've done Acid, MDMA, LSA, Shrooms you name it years after this trip and i swear it wans't shit compared if were talking about the three main reasons people trip Fun, Spiritual, learning experience as any of the latter.

It first started as this feeling like my body was giving of a ton of steam, like i was slowly disintegrating into the atmosphere. only thing i can equate this feeling to is try imagining getting out of a long hot shower, and standing under your ceiling fan and being hit with the breeze except it wasnt a bone chilling effect it felt warm and blissful. that probably lasted throught the whole trip but only really noticed it in the come up and after glow.

*there was nosense of time during the trip. cant tell if im reporting this trip chronologically or not, there is noway of remembering because not only was i fucking blasted, but the trip it self revolved around there being no Time, Simply put time stood still.

Then came the OEV and CEV. Loads of After imagines, neon lights, sprites, jellyfish and Geometric blobs and shapes just sliding by peripherals than eventually encompassing my entire vision. Vision was getting sharp but blurry-er by the minute. This must of been an hour in, then it happend. The Light-speed wormhole, imagine every space movie spacecraft hyperspeed sequence. First person view of you hitting the Light-speed button and seeing billions of stars pushed to the side of your vision while all you see is a black hole in the center. Felt like i as going thru space. kinda like the loading screen for destiny.

Then at what seemed like the end of this hyper speed blip. it felt like i reached a dark spacial oasis, it was still dark fucking space but it just felt like this "dark space" was the oasis of all the dark spaces. This is when the overload of information started to come into my consciousness, i felt like i read a trillion self-help books, visited all of what seemed to be past lifes?, up and down, side to side just examining the fuck out of existence all in one moment. Then came an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, im talking straight bliss, no fucks-given was my middle name. I couldn't be fucked with at that moment, not even the world ending could of fucked up that moment ( felt like days) for me. Which till this very day ( 4 years after) has been ingrained in my personality, i just feel a sense of everything is always good, even if its bad it will eventually turn good & thats the way it is because you wouldnt know what good is if bad never existed.

So yea tripple Cs are pretty nicee

I loved that shit. I felt like an astronaut jumping on the moon. Good times. Didn't like the whole getting hot thing though.


[1 Points] Wheredmydickgo:

First time was a box and a half. Let's measure dicks :D

[1 Points] BigFatCat_DNM:

Before Operation Webtryp my friend in high school would order DXM powder (along with other shit). I tried that, but never took a bunch of medicine lol. DXM was a weird fucking trip.


[1 Points] umadcuzimstylin:

wtf is this doing on a market subreddit? people care about reviews, freebies and so on, this subreddit shouldn't be a haven for posers to feel like they are hard motherfuckers for having done X/Y/Z


[-6 Points] rilksoadvb5piz3r:

what's this? "look at how cool i am, i started smoking with 12 and got fucked up on DXM at school with 13"? people like you are the main reason why drugs have a bad rep
