First and foremost I would like to thank my wife, Nicole, for providing me
with a seemingly endless supply of love and support, and for putting up
with my idiosyncrasies. I doubt anyone else could have coped with being
married to someone whose idea of fun is spending hours in a library
researching tripping off of cough syrup.
I would also like to thank Barbara Adeanna and Peter Zachariah Kramer who
helped me proofread the FAQ and who took the time to tell me when I was
confusing, unclear, or simply full of it. Additionally I would like to
thank them for their support and encouragement throughout the writing
process.
I would like to acknowledge Schering-Plough, Richardson-Vicks, and other
OTC pharmaceutical companies, for giving me something to write about. How
about bringing back DXM-only pills, folks?
The evolution of this document also owes a great deal to the participants
of Usenet alt.drugs, alt.psychoactives, and rec.drugs.psychedelic, notably
including P. L. and all the people who made hyperreal.com, the Lycaeum, and
other drug websites what they are today. And to the hundred or so people
who contributed their experiences to the FAQ, thank you; my understanding
of DXM came about because of your assistance.
I’d like to give a moment of thanks to the one and only person thus far who
has given me truly critical and negative feedback. I showed her feedback
(and the resulting exchange of email) to a friend of mine who is a
neuroscience researcher and physician, and my friend reassured me that this
person’s objections, although numerous, were also baseless. Still, it has
given me something to think about. As hard as it may be for some people to
believe, a big part of why I wrote the FAQ in the first place was out of
concern for people’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Finally, thanks to my friend H., who taught me about DXM in the first
place.
