Robitussin DM


Robitussin, along with more than 120 other over-the-counter cold medications, contains dextromethorphan (DXM), a substance that can cause a heightened sense of perceptual awareness, altered time perception and visual hallucinations.

Internet sites inform the young users to drink the syrup expeditiously in order to absorb enough DXM from the drink prior to the impending incidence of vomiting, which will occur as a result of the ingestion of the large volume of syrup required for intoxication.
