When consumed in excess, the morphine-based drug produces a hallucinogenic effect.

I dont know much about chemistry, so can someone who knows a think or two about it tell me whether DXM really is morphine based, or is this just bullshit?[/b][/quote]
From Wikipedia:

Dextromethorphan is a salt of the methyl ether dextrorotatory isomer of levorphanol, a narcotic analgesic.

It is the isomer of a synthetic opiate. So is, chemically speaking, a synthetic opiate.
However DXM doesnt produce opiate-like effects. So menctioning this is just a form of propagonda by trying to attach DXM to other more addictive and harmful drugs.
