Researcher suggests considering weight factors when deciding dosage

Uh, really? Wow. Dexers have known this shit for years.

This is actually useful and interesting though,

This is something that must be done for the sake of recreational drug users everywhere. I wish you the best of luck!

I went from 195lbs to 145lbs from spring to fall 2009, after spending nearly a year away from DXM, then suddenly shifting into 1st or 2nd plateauing daily. It was far more euphoric, toward the end; but I can't honestly say I know whether that was because of variation in enzyme activity or my readjustment to its mindset.

Regardless, good luck, Durandal!

Well, I was only kidding but now I'm a little curious. All I could do is lose weight but try to not gain too much muscle mass. I am not getting fat.

I'm pretty sure body mass is important for any drug's dosage, no? This isn't news.

Of course, but it's about if the high is better for the particular person depending upon weight and such.

Yes; it seems to me as though the original article suggests that weight may play a more complex role than that for which we account by expressing our doses in mg/kg. The effects may not only be linearly dependent on weight, and thereby accounted for by adjusting "mg" in linear proportion to "kg", but also complicated by enzyme levels, through metabolites, in more elaborate ways.
