There is no way you can take it as often as pot. It's not a daily drug, of course. For me, I use it about several times a year. A couple of months is usually enough for clutter and stress to gather down so I can clear it all up with a disassociative. Also, on permanent brain damage, see DXM FAQ (http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq/dxm_side_effects.shtml#toc.6.3 http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq/dxm_side_effects.sht...). So far (about a year of usage) I find that the positive outweighs the negative. PS. I'm also learning how to "astral project" (I put this in quotes because I just think it's a natural disassociative, not a spiritual experience). So far, I found AP to be much more powerful (albeit much shorter too) than the second plateau of DXM and I intend to stop drinking disguisting syrup completely as soon as I gain enough practice with AP.
