Teens are gonna abuse drugs no matter what, the parents just need to talk to their kids some more. If I were a parent I would rather have my kid doing DXM (syrup/gels) than ecstasy or some other street drug.

I found that 12% thing shocking...I thought it would be less than that. I've only met 2 people that did DXM before I showed them IRL.

I wonder how long we were at 11% of teens using OTC cough medicine to get high. We need a percent to quit before I'm not a teen anymore.

I also wonder how high the percent of adults are abusing Dxm?

Drugs FTW.

right! the answer is not building a fence, it's education. Free flowing, accurate information is the only way.

it's completely counter-intuitive to fight against yourself. Ourself being human-at-large.
and whether some people like it or not, drugs like dxm are here for good! and resisting is futile waste of energy

I want to know this too, because most of the DVers are in their 20s...

Adults are generally less reckless with drug use than teens due to education and learning to read up on drugs before doing them, etc.

It should be legal for all adults to use drugs recreationally.
