^one thing ppl forget is that alcohol is so easy to get your hands and so many ppl are willing to lets others try it. My mom isn't an alcoholic but even before drinking age she would always urge me to have a taste or two or three...
So with that said, the number of alocoholic related deaths will always be higher

I may not be able to express the depth of the love I feel for you, but a writer put it very nice when he was away from the one he loved. He said...

That plus all the menthol, expectorants, etc. that somewhat help with the other symptoms that usually come with cough and cold.
Anyway, it is indeed all in the FAQ, and better explained there than I could (or would want to right now).
And DXM is not that good of an antitussive anyway... which is why I feared it would be removed from the shelves, too many kids getting fucked up and too few coughs cured. Great to learn that prohibition isn't there yet.



That made sense. Thanks for clarification .

Whether or not DXM is an effective antitussive isn't even the real issue. The issue at hand is perception and tradition. Do people truly believe that Robitussin will stop their cough? Yes. Hell, I occasionally even take DXM medicinally and I have to admit that it seems to at least tame my nagging cough. DXM cough syrups have been a staple of people's medicine cabinets for quite some time. Given that the only known alternative, codeine, is an addictive opiate with much more mass appeal and potential for abuse than dex, I highly doubt that our beloved drug will go away any time soon.

Personally I've stopped taking cough syrup for cough symptoms since I Robotrip. I find pseudoephedrine & AINS medication (Advil cold & sinus) for example to alleviate the common cold symptoms much more.


Your brain on drugs is part of a complete breakfast.

there would be no need to start making it and selling it, unlike something more minor like lsd (i say more minor in terms of health risks/addiction potential, not effects) which they don't distribute at all.

Yes, indeed. Hell, even a Christian Scientist would know what Robotussin is and know that most people turn to it for their coughs.
Anyways, the drug is that god damn common, it's even used in pop culture in even non-abusive/tripping ways.
