You remember those old anti-drug commercials from the 90s that depicted Mary Jane tokers as suicidal or homicidal maniacs? Probably not, many of us hadn’t even hit puberty yet. Regardless, anti-drug commercials- most notably the Above the Influence ones- have gotten a little smarter and more accurate with their campaign against drugs, but it appears that it doesn’t matter. If you go to a college campus, you almost certainly know how widespread the use of marijuana is.
Sometimes you walk into a person’s apartment and see a bong sitting on their coffee table and think nothing of it. And for many people, marijuana is where their interest in drugs stop. For others, though, it’s transgressed into a different realm.
In March 2008, the government made a report stating that 3.1 million people between the ages of 12-25 have used cough and cold medicine to get high. This number of people comparable to the amount of people who use LSD and is much greater for methamphetamines in the same age group, according to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The agency conducted a survey in 2006 on drug abuse, finding that over 5% of teens and young adults have intentionally used cough and cold medicines to reach a high. The survey also indicated that these people had also experimented with other, less legal drugs. 82% had also smoked reefer and less than half had also used inhalants and hallucinogens like LSD or feel-good drugs like Ecstasy.
The main ingredient in cough medicines that create this sought-after high is a cough suppressant called DXM, which is used in over 140 cough and cold medications available without a prescription. When taken in large doses, DXM can cause disorientation, blurred vision, slurred speech, and- if you take too much of it- vomiting. Using cold medicine to get high is commonly referred to as “robotripping” in reference to Robitussen, a much-used liquid cough medicine. People who partake in robotripping usually drink an entire bottle of the substance rather than the recommended amount, thereby consuming all the DXM in the bottle. If you’ve seen the South Park episode where the kids join a news team and use cough medicine to get high to think up exciting news stories and by doing so discover the whole school is getting high off cough medicine, you’ve gotten a general idea of its effects. Cough-medicine highs have been known to induce a heavily depressing feeling in its early stages, making the user feel extremely stressed, bummed out, sometimes very sleepy or regretful. After a while, however, the effect wears off and is replaced by a polar opposite; the user is then really, really happy and derives great joy from mediocre things. They portray a bubbly personality and seem to radiate joy.
Among all the people between the ages of 12 to 25, the rate of cough medicine misuse last year among white people was 2.1%. For blacks it was only .6%, and for Hispanics, 1.4%. Students around campus seem to frown upon using cough medicine as a recreational drug, as well. “I think it’s pretty stupid,” said an anonymous first-year informatics major from UC Irvine, “but as long as you’re not bothering me it’s fine. Maybe they can put some sort of restriction on cough medicine for younger people. For older people who can think rationally, that’s their choice.” Sahar Louk, a fourth-year economics major, feels along the same lines. “I’m definitely against [using cough medicine to get high],” he said flatly. “It’s so readily available to kids, really easy for them to get ahold of it and abuse it. What’s worse is that it can even serve as a gateway drug.” Indeed, the statistics suggest this could be true since children as young as 12 years old were included in the study.
“While increasing attention has been paid to the public health risk of prescription drug abuse, we also need to be aware of the growing dangers of misuse of over-the-counter cough and cold medications,” said Terry cline, SAMHSA agency administrator, “especially among young people.” In a generation where there are now vending machines for clinical marijuana (under heavy guard, don’t get too excited), the taboo on drugs seems to slowly be dissipating. Massive parties known as “raves” constitute mainly of hundreds of people congregating for a giant social smoothie of dancing, rolling on Ecstacy, and in most cases sex. Marijuana has become all but allowed by school policy on many college campuses. While taking a hit from a joint will not turn you into a homicidal maniac as the old anti-drug commercials would have you believe, it’s important to keep the mantra of “Everything within moderation” in mind.
Where’s the line? When is enough enough? Is it smart to down a bottle of cold medicine to feel like shit for an hour and then feel like a walking orgasm for the next one? Is it worth the damage? Don’t let propaganda scare you away from new experiences and discoveries, but even more importantly, be careful not to lose yourself in those experiences and discoveries. Our generation is- relatively- one of excessive tolerance, and it’s important even to tolerate within moderation.

yeah this article is right, cough medication kind of sucks. Stick with the traditional Hallucinogens guys i.e. LSD, Magic Mushrooms, Mescaline, salvia, these are your best bet for a clean trip, unlike the cloudy and somewhat corny DXM trip. And of course herb is a must have.
peace, happy tripping and good vibes to all

No matter which way you depict it, taking drugs is stupid and can lead to addiction, to say anything else is moronic
My daughter almost died this weekend using alcohol and cough medicine. It was the scariest thing I have ever seen.

Oh look, another braindead boaster, well you just keep on dimming the bulb, hopefully it’ll soon go out.
I think Hash is the best thing to get used to (If you’re into the get-high drugs). Hash is almost harmless to the brain, unlike weed. I recommend you go for the Afghani stuff
AMAZING
This is terrible. I think that instead of continuing to use drugs people should get help and stop. Drugs are very harmful and something needs to be done about them.
Robotripping is perfectly safe and healthy for all kids to do! It’s not dangerous at all, and I can drive perfectly while on CCC’s. Just don’t take more than 40 at once and you’ll be okay.

Evidence of drug damaging thought function, well done!
WTF is all this “Pro-Robo-tripping” about? Robo-Tripping, like using Meth, Coc and LSDs is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. The kid on probation made a comment that they don’t drug test for Robo/DMX – guess what? They do. Real probation drug tests checks for more shit than you think it does. But since you’re so busy doing all this shit, your brain loses the ability to process anything else.
Sad really. When I was in high school, very very few people ever tried more than alcohol, pot and maybe speed .. It’s horrible as a parent to see how desperate people are to try to do the illegal HARMFUL stuff. Most even forget the LEGAL ramifications.
In moderation, alcohol and pot can be enjoyable if you are smart enough to remember not to do it in excess, don’t drive while doing and for God’s Sake … do it in moderation.
ABK, unfortunately in this day and age you have sad retards who want others to do it so they can go “hey, i’m not the only one”, and also because when it comes time to take exams they won’t be the only thick pillock in the room. Oh and of course if you’re one of the ones who tell them to f**k off, then you you must be “uncool”.
My 14 year old told me about one of her older “friends” who suggested this to her, I told her exactly how many decades she’d be grounded for if she even thought about it and I also told her to tell anyone who suggested it again to come and tell me to my face that it’s safe, 6 months and no ones come yet, surprise, surprise.
my friend did this kind of tripp the other day he really likes them. i have about 3/4′s a bottle of one and i am going to try it out tonight. I am going to mix it with soda so its easyer to get down. I love mushrooms and lsd so i hope this will be like it

A GIRL ONCE TRIED A DRUG BECAUSE HER FRIENDS TOOK IT, NOW SHE’S DEAD, IT REACTED BADLY WITH HER SYSTEM, IT WAS HER FIRST AND LAST TIME, IS IT REALLY WORTH YOUR LIFE AND HEALTH TO BE “COOL” ??
Interesting to see how the ones who approve of drug taking are slagging off the child of a guy who opposes their skewed way of thinking.
hasanimpressivepenis says:
I think the one screaming and bitching over other people’s recreational (and personal) drug use. the other guy was hilarious.
So because I’m aware of what drugs do and the resultant crimes, etc that come from it, i’m a screamer. This because I didn’t lie like those who say it has no effect, well at least I don’t stick my head in the sand and ignore it, or find pleasure in the comments of keyboard cowards, lets hope you see it that way when it’s your kid being harassed, but then you’re the one who hasanonexsistantpenis, I suppose you also believe that drugs are not linked to increases in violence, etc. Of interest how would you respond to unfounded allegations against any member of your family? Or perhaps you think that vermin should be allowed to say whatever they choose and get away with it, I mean if some freak came up and called your mother, sister, daughter a whore or whatever would you go and laugh and join in, if so then that’s another bunch of people who I feel sorry for, after all if you won’t stand up for your family, what use are you? It’s a sorry and pathetic world when vermin can say and do what they want whilst losers encourage them from the sidelines, if that’s what kind of future you wish to create for any descendants of yours, then do any prospective mate of yours that you will find it ok for people to call her and her children whores, etc, I wonder what your chances of getting married to someone would be then?
clearly, father, not very many people like you. taking anything on a comment board on the Internet that seriously shows all of us how very dumb you really are. this isn’t the forum for your useless pontification. I hope that soapbox doesn’t get crushed under your ego.
p.s., i do sincerely believe that everyone has the right to say whatever they want to whomever they like. I do believe it was Voltaire that mentioned his willingness to die for that right.
Insulting defencless children is ok? somehow I seriously doubt even Voltaire would stoop to that level, but if so then he too would then be no more than vermin, fame, etc does not automatically mean you are right. You say it’s useless pontification, by that I take it you mean no one is allowed to say drugs are for retards who think they’re tough, but rather agree with everything aforementioned retards say, and if you do dare disagree you must be on a soapbox, well at least I have an opinion and don’t follow the herd like a mindless drone, IE, the nazis with their blind following of twisted Nietzscheien ideology are an example of mindlessness, somewhat similar to yours, even if you do throw in a Voltare quote to make you sound clever.
If you want to respond to a persons point of view, you don’t do it ny attacking that persons family, you counter them with an opposing reasoned response, assuming you are capable of doing so, therefore to bring it back to my opinion of robotripping, my answer is that it has never been shown that deliberate overdosing on mixtures of drugs is safe, in fact it has often been shown to be deadly and anyone who says otherwise is either an idiot, ill informed or an outright liar.
P.S, as regards my ego, if it’s heavy, well at least it’s not swelled by false bravado and regards how many people dislike me, I suspect it’s far more likely to be 1-2 cowards under different names but even if it were a thousand at least I know it would only be sad individuals who can’t get through life without chemicals altering their feeble minds
get a life. You want to change the world, join the military. you cannot change people father. infact, there really isn’t a damn thing you can do about alot of things. your no one, and even the people that are someone, still can’t change a damn thing.
Seriously?, It’s true that what I say will in the vast majority will not change a single thing, but if by writing something that tells the truth rather than just go with the flow, it might, just might give someone pause, or even if i’m extra lucky stop someone from following the herd into the slaughterhouse, to paraphrase an old quote “all it takes for evil to win, is for good people to do nothing”! I’m not all that good, but at least i’m willing to try, I suppose seeing someone I knew die from drugs helps with my opinion, it’s no fun seeing someone waste away from addiction, also he was like a lot of the smartmouths on here who say or think, “that’ll never happen to me”, guess what wrong, it probably will. I have my life, I just happen to believe in trying as well instead of just focusing on self.
Alright, dude. Chill. Just.. chill. You’re taking a stupid comment on the internet (Which, if I may add was quite amusing) and blowing this way out of proportion. Chill the fuck out, dude.
I can see why the guys pissed off, would be amusing to you if someone described your child as a whore, slut, druggy, etc?

Heres a link to a video of some of the effects of robotripping/dxm it explains it very well i think
drugs are good, my dealer said so, doohhhhhhhhh
Funny thing is that many adults posting here calling people idiots for using drugs and drinking cough medicine probably drink large doses of alcohol for the same reason, which is to get high. And alcohol is by far one of the most dangerous and abused drugs there are.
I don’t drink or take drugs, I do however smoke cigarettes which of course are bad for you as I freely admit to my kids, I’ve told them that just because I’m a moron who got addicted to nicotine it doesn’t give them an excuse to be dumb as well. After all you can learn by your own mistakes and you can avoid other mistakes by not following the stupidity of others, unless you’re a complete idiot you’re not likely to jump into a fire just because the retarded crispy kid says it’s fun or for that matter stick your dick in an alligator’s mouth because the squeaky voiced kid says it’s fun.
um “asdpok” your retarded..u CAN NOT drive while robotripping…i have done it and i couldnt even play a video game cuz i couldnt see clear. And all of you avid robotrippers are going to have severe liver problems later in life. I robotrip from time to time and i did A LOT of research be4 i did it. I never even take anything close to a lethal amount and i do it so rarely that i give my liver ample time to recover.
It is possible to try things safely (well, at least safer) people. Just because you know your doing something bad doesnt meant you need to just say fuck it and have a complete disregard for your life.
Im i guess a responsible drug user (MJ only and rarely Robo) if that makes sense..lol

im 14 and i think im going to try “robotripping” i suppose you could classify me as a “stoner” and i sometimes “sip sizzurp” so…. why not try robotripping?
To each there own, but there are so many more wonderful and beautiful things in this world to do then drugs. I’ve seen first hand how drugs can ruin peoples lives, how the ripple effect of acting in the moment can crush the spirits of those u care about and urself. Sadly judging people and critisizing is the norm when in these situations, but the way to get anywhere is to listen, understand a persons situation and background, hear there pain or anguish or whatever is making them do these things and help from there. I don’t condone doing any form of drug and that’s my opinion, but I would not judge one that does. I just hope all of you who do be safe.
I robotripped this very evening. It was great! I’m not saying its the smart thing to do, but I will say that it was very interesting.
To all my fellow stoners: trip on my friends
To all the stoner-hating communist fools: If we stay out of your way you have no right to give a dam about us. If we ruin our lives and die a painfull, organ failure realated death then at least, unlike you, we will have one hell of a good time doing it.
To some kinda long-haired hippy, I could care less if you want to ruin your life, it’s when you lie to kids that annoys me, also you know that many who start with weed go on to stronger stuff, this as you cannot honestly deny results in crime such as burglaries, shoplifting, pickpocketing, bag snatching, mugging, etc. So the problem is you don’t stay out of the way, also tell me how many junkies living in squats, whatever are having a good time when they can’t see past their next fix? As far as i’m concerned drug dealers should be co-charged with all the crimes their addicts have commited and if any of their addicts die, then they should also be charged with man slaughter or murder. Do the world a favour stop lying about drugs to kids just because you’ve screwed up your life, failing that throw yourself into a composter, that way something useful might actually come out of your pathetic existence.

WOW really? your knowledge of drugs just baffles me sir. wait back to reality what the fuck are you talking about i can agree with a little bit of what your saying but just the simple fact that you are compelled to attack that guy because he is talking about pot is the most pathetic thing ive ever seen also i dont see in one way he is lying about any of that and i agree with him fully so aside from that fuck you and fuck your family dick smoker…
The cowards are back
pseudo father, you really are gutless aren’t you, why don’t you say it to his face
m c coke, it seems the guy is saying one leads to another, which is true no matter what fairy tales you tell yourself, it’s commonly seen by drug counselors how kids will start off on grass because someone says it’s cool, then gradually start going on to the stronger stuff. p.s. you shouldn’t call someone something you’ve always enjoyed yourself.
I think we live in a society that has been told that recreational drugs are bad so much that we find it impossible to think anything else. In reality, deep down most of us know that pot is no more dangerous than liquor. Most of us, if we really give it some thought, know that pot is actually less dangerous than liquor because you cannot become physically addicted to pot. Too much of anything is bad for you. Some drugs are worse than others. Sadly most people must think in one of two preconceived notions: GOOD or EVIL.
Fetus, it’s true to say that both liquor and pot are bad, the irony regarding alcohol is that if you include violent acts, abuse, stupidity, etc onto the health quotes for alcohol it’s danger level has always been far higher than that of tobacco(though no doubt there will be a flurry of denials any time soon),the probhlem re pot is that it’s far more common for people to slide into worse drugs from it than from alcohol. In regards physical addiction that’s one thing, but people forget mental addiction also occurs as well, and the mind is far, far harder to treat. In reply to good/evil anyone with intewllect will recognise all the grey shades in between which makes it harder to discern right from wrong, but no matter where you come from you know the law states selling drugs is wrong, so when you sell drugs which will generally result in mental/physicall ruin, loss of morality and death, as the guy previously has said it kind of makes sense to view drug dealers as being at the very least partly responsible, after all in dealers and suppliers and growers didn’t do what they do, then it would be infinatly harder for people to get, well i’m sure you see the logical progression of that line of thought, therefore if we came down on the criminals properly the benefit to risk ratio would drastically alter.
People who bash robotripping are stupid. Everybody has their own poison, and the reason teens robo trip vs lsd, or shrooms, or ectasy is because its easy to get. I’m on probation right now, I get drug tested 3-5 times a week. I robo trip all the time. I’m going to CMU, and I’m taking Calc. 3. I’m not a burnout or a retard. Now, there is a proper way to robotrip. Sure, you could drink a bottle or two and feel like shit, then feel amazing, but for all those robotrippers out there, you should know this;
Get the red gel caps. 20 per bottle. I’m about to swallow 40. The gel caps are not only easy to swallow, they don’t give you nasuea, and they dont have anything in them except for dextromethorphan(DXM). The liquid however, have things like Gucifen and other toxic shit. Dextromethorphan is harmless. I’ve been on 2100mg of DXM and didn’t die. I didn’t even feel bad. I actually went and saw Avatar 3D, then drove home at 95mph. Very fun experience. I don’t reccomend swallowing bottles, but instead, just stick to the gel tabs
Happy Tripping
Abort-a-dick, you’re talking crap, the pills are just as bad, robotripping is for idiots, or perhaps you’re pretending that no one has died from it, such as teenagers and rap stars. Maybe kidney failure, etc is all an illusion, oh hang on, I forgot, were reading the wisdom of someone who knows what they’re talking about, lets see they’re at cmu taking calc, umm, hang on, your not at doctor, or even a med student? Gasp, oh you little liar, you haven’t got a clue what the fuck you’re on about. Here’s a suggestion, don’t go to druggies forums or listen to dead heads, try asking a doctor, or a pharmacist, maybe have a chat with the parents of the girl who died r/ting, maybe they know just a shit load more than you, now fuck off cock taker from cmu.
This is an absolutely ridiculous article & thread of comments. Robo-tripping killed someone I knew who was only 16. The people he was with were too messed up from their own trips and didn’t call an ambulance in time. He was in a coma for a week and then passed away. Don’t fool yourself, it isn’t safe. Stick to drinking and marijuana if you’re determined to get messed up, at least we know what that will do to you. Medicine comes with warnings FOR A REASON, pills and robotussin alike. There is a REASON you can’t buy robotussin until you’re 18 (I think thats the age anyway). Because some idiot decided he needed a new way to get high, and now people are dying.
To kelly, you should have seen the comments slagging off father before they were deleted, because he’s against it he was being called a pedo and all kinds, mostly by somee coward who was using the same name. The point is most of them don’t care and if you try to say anything against it they’ll slag you off, don’t forget the internet lets they pretend they’re hard so they will no doubt be making some sick comments soon, though as you know they won’t ever have the guts to do it in real life.
My condolences to your freinds family, I hope their pain will ease with time.
Oh My God, I can’t believe some of you.
My teen daughter is in a really bad way because of Robotripping.
Look, geniuses, since your mental capacities are being diminished, you aren’t smart enough to tell that your mental capacities are being diminished. Trust me, others can tell.
This is very very dangerous stuff. I know some of you are doing this to get around the drug tests. Stupid stupid stupid…..
To Anon Mom, I agree with everything you say, but be prepared to be subjected to ridicule, insult and slander, etc, they’re also likely to make repulsive remarks about your kid as well.
I mean, yeah its illegal, and a little on the dangerous side, but come on guys, drugs used recreationally and in moderation are not really that big of a problem. Although there will always be the trouble of an extremely small percentage of people that cant handle their drugs and turn out to be fully blown addicts, drugs, especially alcohol, weed, and cocaine (I’m talking about a gram once every month which isn’t addicting) can be a blast (just do it safely and avoid the cops).
In a day and age when weed has been made out to be an evil substance what did you guys (thats you baby boomers!) expect from your kids? Youth internationally have been getting high and or drunk for time immemorial, Robo tripping is a cheap, easy way to get high (although it can cause death). But maybe if you would get off your high horse and lower the drinking age and legalize pot, your children wouldn’t be sucking on purple drank.
Me, Myself, and I had that bit and made it through fine, although I stick with white russians and nug these days.
You know Portugal legalized pot, heroin, and cocaine last year. Addiction rates have actually dropped off after an initial spike to lower than before. Just food for thought!
Take er easy dude!
Some people have addictive personalities that are naturally prone to addiction, also it’s impossible to specify a safe amount as peoples sizes and weights are so various including their metabolic rates, to say that it’s an extremely small percentage is foolish and completely without logic as their is no defining evidence to support your claim,as regards legalising pot and lowering the age for alcohol, you must be kidding, a person who is high on pot is just as dangerous as a drink driver, in regards alcohol if you were to collate the problem properly you would see it’s far more dangerous than tobacco which everyone pounds on about. The figures that were given re the alcohol v tobacco argument was 4% alcohol v 4.3% tobacco in relation to medical reporting, this figure is in fact false as they deliberately did not include acts of violence(IE. murder, rape, assault, etc), drink driving deaths, etc, if you were to include all that on to the alcohol side of the equation the alcohol side would be vastly increased(after all, how many people have been killed because someones had 1 to many cigarrettes?
The point is at the end of it all is legalising something is not a cure but rather a way to pretend that there is no problem, and just because you claim to have had no problems doesn’t denote the same for everyone, plus we also don’t know how true or false your statement is, nor for that matter do you as you cannot see what damage has occured inside your body.
I think the worst thing about drug use is that it usually limits a person’s ability to have a loving and meaningful relationship with another person. You’ll never find peace of mind in a bottle or a baggie. If you can’t find it in the mirror, it isn’t worth a damn.
As has been said above, everyone is different, therefore your claim to do it in a certain way is meaningless and irresponsible
Wouldn’t “responsible” use mean follow the directions on the bottle, as in “use as directed.” Drinking it by the bottle is kind of like snorting your ADHD medication…….I don’t think it was tested or intended to use that way. Oh well, to each his/her own, and all that.
Hey
so
one stop the hate
if people robotripthats there choice
there is no reason to throw bad noise at
them
just let them be
two
to all my fellow robotrippers
all I can say is be safe,know yer limit and
above all
when you are trippig
you’d better be listenig to music
peace ^-^
I’d just like to throw in my two cents. It’s not my place to tell any of you what to do. However, I would like to advise all of you drug-curious teens to think before robotripping. Just because it’s not illegal doesn’t mean it’s safe. In my opinion marijuana is the safest drug. In my opinion it is far less dangerous than alcohol. Think about it: everyone knows an angry drunk. But when was the last time you heard of a hippie parent beating their child? Exactly. Also, alcohol impairs your judgement and tends to make you make stupid choices. This is incredibly dangerous. Marijuana, on the other hand, just calms you down and makes you content. Rather that going out and doing stupid things like you do when your drink, you want to just stare at the sky and think about the universe and/or god. Marijuana is still quite dangerous due to it’s gateway effect but it is not impossible to resist the urge to try stronger, more dangerous drugs. I’m a teenager myself (only 14). So I know that right now is a time of exploration and self-discovery for all of us, but I encourage you all to discover safely. I smoke marijuana but I do not drink or shoot up and I certainly don’t robotrip. I choose to stay away from these thing because these are incredibly addictive. When people become addicted to hardcore drugs that drug becomes the most imporant thing in their life. This is not okay. Many of us don’t realize it but friends and family should be the our number one priority. They are the most amazing thing we will ever have.
Dont take them for granted. I’m not encouraging my fellow teenagers to start smoking pot but I am suggesting it as an alternative to more dangerous drugs. Remember: Be Safe, Be responsible, But don’t forget to live life. 
ps: Please excuse any typo’s. As I said, I’m only 14.
Wow, That was a long comment. Maybe that was more like 3 cents.
Robo-tripping is like playing Russian roullete with ALL BARRELS LOADED!

the groin, It has a 50% chance of making you sterlie and 50% of giving you a crazy orgasmic High.
iknow a kid who took the lethal amount for a robo trip. he took i believe 5 or 6 bottles. and he became unresponsive for a long time. his eyes got really deep in the sockets, with big purple lines underneath. well all babysat him in a burger king where he just sat there sometimes never saying anything and sometimes he would say something that did not make any sense. he was like this for 5 hours. the day after he said he couldnt remember anything about what happened. do i have to ask if robotripping is worth it?
sadly, robo is his favorite drug of choice, next to x. no one can stop this kid, he knows he is on a road to death.
robotripping has put me in the hospital 3times. i have a heart mummer from it. robotripping is not safe. it is probley one of the dumbest things ever. it kills your liver and kidneys. puts stress on your heart and maney other things. my heart rate was 158 when i was laying down for a number of hours. robotripping will kill you. and for all the people who think it doesnt show on piss tests it does it comes up as pcp if u drink enough of it. i have been on probation for 3years and have had it come up as pcp 4times. i have neaver even done pcp. it is also illegal you can be violated for it because the bottle says do not exced doeses.
Robotripping: You Boys Wanna Go Die on Cough Medicine?
Sorry, but I thought you could do with a little more accuracy in the title.
i’m not even into half the bottle of tussin dm, tastes like sh!t that’s true yeah it’s 4:20 by my watch hell yeah “trip on my friends” it was hilarious buying this is rite aid a second ago. just reminded me of how messed up it all is… anyway, a friend just called, so my trip will get more interesting, love you all, safe trips.
My sister, 24, died using this stuff in February. I hope you all realize the risks you are taking and how much it would hurt your families to lose you.
I took dxm twice a week all one summer. Made me euphoric 24/7. But now I believe it also damaged my brain. Now I cannot ever get enough sleep. I am chronically drowsy.
i know robotripping is dangerous. But if you do it safely no one should control you. I do it once every 6 months and before i started i read up on it. I feel some drugs you should be able to use in moderation without being ridiculed. And as for when people were saying weed is a gateway drug, that is debatable. If you look up the statistics it would be alcohol and if you include all drugs it would probably be milk because of the drugs they give the cows or caffeine.
MAN, the problems lie in the fact that people have different metabolic rates, weight, addictive personalities, etc, so therefore it’s far more logical not to do it, after all you have people for example who do things like jumping over camp fires, you only have to trip once.
so i’m a bit confused. how i found this page anyway. maybe i googled ‘dxm’ is awesome is everyone here from the UK? i’m robotripping now. and taking like 4 other prescriptions and 8 ibuprofen. i’m having a nice experience but i you can not drive and i’m certain it’s not good for you. obviously. my exp. is diff than everyone elses. we all have diff. body chemistry. so if you’re a kid and you go drink a bottle of something… you’ll probably throw up or die. when you are younger your metabolism is different and you are smaller right. there’s also just like infinite amount of variables in dxm use. is the person depressed? is the person on other drugs or prescription drugs and how much did they eat, what the body mass is and even with all of that, each person reacts differently and to those who enjoy it and are safe somehow, not everytime will be safe. the body isn’t the same everytime.
i made the choice to use dxm after reading a lot about it and i know that it’s bad for me and i use it once or twice a month or less and i know it’s effects on me. DO NOT DRIVE. stay home with a friend or something at night. don’t go out.
and if you must take it, take the bottle that contains ONLY dextromethorphan HBR as the active ingrediant. take it with a tall glass of milk and 2 slices of bread. if you’re a little kid, it’s too much at all to take and not great of a high so you should not be doing this. there are also complications with anti-histamines and anti-depressants and mental states, cardiac arrythmias (sp) at some doses.
i’m at an age though i can make these decisions, think what you may, everyone is different in this world, so some won’t agree obviously.
i know for me even after taking precautions i will feel very depressed and have anxiety quite bad usually 2 days after the night i took it. sometimes sooner. it’s interrupting natural chemicals neurotransmitters and this is not good. i know.
so i have no kids. i can say nobody else do this but me. it’s hypocritical, but it’s human. i haven’t heard of people dying from it, but i’m sure hospitals and nurses know more about stories of people having serotonin syndrome which even if you don’t die from, is very scary and very unpleasant to say the least and you think you are dying.
it would be nice if we could lock all the stuff away and nobody would hurt themselves in the whole world right. but that isn’t reality. so you must have knowledge. abusing drugs can go down a bad path. i’ve been down it with prescription drugs. sometimes i think maybe people or even myself do it to play with fire, perhaps they do feel as if they’re done with the world. so, why not?
but i know i will wake up, my vitals are stable, i could die, but you could die crossing the street…but i know, why put yourself there.. it wraps my mind. or the concept that someone around the world will even read this.
when i wake up (assuming so) i have to face the hang over type which is about 3 days for me. depression and anxiety for 3 days. so it’s shite. but i’ve chosen it.
i just hope any kid can see it’s a bad cycle that goes on forever. few people can use any drug recreationally i think, maybe weed or lsd, but even liquor, we all think it’s a laugh writing on some poor mates face after he’s pissed drunk. wait i don’t live in the UK. wish i did, though. i want the accent. and usa isn’t very great but full of people who think it is the best. i hate it.
that’s another topic anyway. see what the dxm has done to me. but i love HOUSE can’t wait to see the show. sorry if someone died, my condolences. do more research on dXM. and wishing everyone love peace and a good day… i send it out to the universe for you peepz. and you can reply back all angry, but it’s useless. i doubt anyone will this anyway. cheers. peace.
oh and jumping over camp fires sounds a bit dangerous LOL
how can you people keep drinking any can of cough sy. my son is 24 been doing this since he was 17 years old he has tried to stop but seems he cant he has been in rehab and jail so many times over this stuff. It is so very dangerous it does so much damages to your body and brain just please stop now. He had such a future he wanted to be a teacher and had his collage payed in full but he had other ideas like robotripping and drinking. i just wish all stores would put all of these cough sy. and cough pills behind the counter, and they do test for this and it comes up as pcp. I know it happened to my son when he had to be tested. Dont be stuiped QUIT NOW before it is to late it well kill you, or be where my son is now rehab and maybe facing jail time. Just think before you do it PLEASE.
im gonna stick to weed. new experiments show that weed helps brain cells grow and that it helps protect your body against cancer. Cough medicine is disgusting but i dont view people who use it as inferior. We are all the same right? Peace and Pot
