Ingredient in Cough Syrup Could Work as an Antidepressant: Works Like Ketamine

DXM is one of a few dissociative compounds besides Ketamine that I feel should be further studied for psychological and emotional benefit, the most important, in my opinion, being Methoxetamine (MXE).

If anyone that has any pull is reading this, do trials with MXE. It's Ketamine on steroids.

Is MXE accessible anymore (not-so-legally, I mean)?

Last I heard online everybody in the RC scene was super bummed that they couldn't get it anymore. And there were a lot of sellers around selling other chemicals as MXE.

Apparently it isn't. I'm not sure if China, where many of these come from, has banned it's production or what. I recall someone saying that was why but who knows really. There are other dissassociative RCs that are sold now but I think they're all generally rated as not being very pleasant

I heard the same (that China made it illegal).
