YES, it's actually true. Schering-Plough actually addded the below to their website. Talk about chutzpah. Kettles really shouldn't call pots black. They *sell* the stuff, and then blame others for the fact people abuse Coricidin. Hmm...take a look at this:

Gee, that site listed first sure seems familiar. ;) Doesn't seem to me that it is encouraging Coricidin abuse. And look at the links to the Third Plateau and Erowid. Those don't seem to indicate Coricidin abuse is recommended.

"Why are teens abusing products that contain dextromethorphan?
"Dextromethorphan is a safe and effective cough suppressant when used as indicated on the product label. However, when taken in doses that far exceed the amount recommended, the ingredient may produce feelings of euphoria that some seek to get "high." A teenager looking to get high or experiment with drugs may turn to OTC cough and cold preparations that contain dextromethorphan because they are readily available at home or the local drug store. Dextromethorphan can also be purchased in a bulk powder form on the Internet. Some Web sites encourage teenagers to abuse dextromethorphan and actually offer "recipes" for the best way to achieve a high."
At least they do qualify that with "Some Web sites...". Conveniently ignoring all the websites that say to specifically avoid Coricidin. Yep, Coricidin abuse is all the fault of the Internet. The manufacturer is totally blameless, and is a victim of evil websites encouraging Coricidin abuse.
I should probably take down my websites before they really do blame me directly by name for corrupting the youth of America. Remember Socrates. Hell, at the moment I really have a big bull's eye on me.

At least for the moment (it probably won't last), I have the coveted top 2 spots on the Google "DXM" SERP, moving ahead of Erowid. The top listed site is the natural #1 target. Perhaps it would be better to let the Erowid's take the heat. Perhaps all the webmasters of DXM sites should take them offline. That'll stop Coricidin abuse in its tracks.
In a pig's eye.
