more dangerous than street drugs!

[WantTope]

Dextromethorphan is more dangerous because it is available over the counter, isn't it?

I think that most people wrongly believe that since a drug is available OTC or with a prescription, that these are safer than street drugs. This is the reason why people get addicted to prescription drugs.

Dextromethorphan is an ingredient in many cough syrups. It is an effective chemical for fighting coughs, but in large doses, it can be really addictive.

Actually DXM is found in over 100 cough depressants including Robitussin DM and Nyquil!

Well DXM is abused because it is common. I've heard that around 95 million units of cough and colds medications are sold every year!

I've heard that in large doses, DXM has effects like that of PCP and ketamine! It acts like a disassociative anesthetic.

DXM also suppresses your central nervous system in large doses.

I've heard about robo-dosing on DXM, what does that mean?

well robo dosing is simply swallowing large doses of cough medication. This is especially rampant in rave clubs!
