Dateline NBC Does DXM Special

There are no reliable numbers on DXM abuse, but Dateline found cases across the country of teenagers -- and even some adults -- winding up in drug treatment, in the hospital, and in the morgue. By some estimates there've been more than a dozen DXM related deaths.

At least they were conservative in the death total. And that reminds me I gotta redo my website in how DXM deaths are presented. There are so many now that I need to organize them into one subfolder, with an index page linking to each death report. (Which in some cases a single report mentioned more than one death.) This way the total number of documented deaths will be listed on that index page.

hmmm man i hope my parents didnt watch that, but oh well, thrusday night i did my 10th robo-tripp, it was crazy, 8oz. weeeeeeeeeeeeee

experiencing highs akin to LSD or PCP

Dude i have never halluicnated at all on dxm, not once, and i've had some really crazy tripps, about the most intense thing i have had was like 2 hour RUSH!!!! i mean it was like freakin crazy, and fun as shit.

n the silence of cyberspace, there's a far flung community of devoted DXM abusers swapping recipes for cough syrup brownies and Coricidin cocktails, and dispensing advice on how to reach higher highs or plateaus. It was online that Jonathan Frary apparently found vendors who would sell him pure DXM powder, the powder in the brown vial that killed him.

Pure powder will only kill you if you take like 2 freaking grams, which is VERY STUPID in the first place, i swear these stupid fucks that do this shit piss me off.

Dr. Shannon Miller is a psychiatrist with the U.S. military, and one of the few addiction specialists who has researched the use of dextromethorphan among adults and teens. He says that DXM has a number of dangers, including dehydration, seizures, liver problems, and even cardiac arrest -- these from ingesting huge amounts of some of the other ingredients contained in those cough and cold medicines.

God i love this misinformation, only hinting the fact that the other ingredients might hurt you, hmmmm i wonder how the hell they figured that out with their heads so far up there fucking assholes!

Not only are we far flung, we are also allegedly swapping recipes for cough syrup brownies and Coricidin cocktails. You mean that we put Coricidin in a blender, and mix it up into cocktails that we drink??? I'll bet that this reporter made that part about Coricidin cocktails up on the spot. Coricidin abusers swallow the pills, not whip them up into drinks. And if any Coricidin abuser actually is making them into cocktails using a blender, that dude has gotta be one crazy motherfucker.

How'd they find out about the cocktails, that was supposed to be a secret! :P Media sucks.

Maybe I'm wrong (and I kind of hope I am, because if this were actually true I'd have to lower the 'intelligence bar' of what I consider teenagers to presently be at, yet again), but I think she meant pill 'cocktails,' in the sense of mixing various pharmaceuticals, rather than a literal cocktail drink. Were this the intended use of the phrase, this would have to be one of the stupidest ideas I've ever read.

Until I got to this part:

Nick: “You can grow tolerance really quick. You’ve got to push it up by a couple of pills a day.”

Worst drug advice I have ever heard. Perhaps a better idea would be to wait for the tolerance to pass, and maybe not progressively up your dosage of a dangerous psychoactive, made even more so by the mixture with CPM. Hopefully, those whose interest in DXM was sparked by all the recent media hype will use common sense here.

Ever lose sleep worrying about your teen-ager and drugs?

"...Well, you will now."

Hmm...

"In the silence of cyberspace, there's a far flung community of devoted DXM abusers swapping recipes for cough syrup brownies and Coricidin cocktails..."

The reference to "swapping recipes for cough syrup brownies" is clearly a food reference, rather than mixing drugs. If the reporter did mean cocktails in the sense of other drugs to take with Coricidin, "cocktails" was a very poor choice of a term to use in the same sentence where adding cough syrup to a brownie mix was mentioned.

Dr. Miller: “Sure, but something is happening in the machinery of the brain to cause you to want to exceed that dose over and over and over again.”

"Now... I don't know what that machinery is. Mainly because I'm talking out my ass, but forget about that. I'm a doctor, you're a reporter, and as far as this national audience is concerned, everything that comes out of my mouth is true."

Is there a download of the special somewhere? I missed it.

You're right, they are too close together. Either way, neither one seems like a particularly bright idea. On the one hand, mixing Coricidin with other pharmaceuticals seems to indicate a lack of common sense, and mixing Coricidin with drinks would be taste bud suicide, at the least.

After a quick Googling, I was unable to find a single thing regarding Coricidin cocktails, though I did yield a possible origin for the brownie shit:

DXM Capsules or Tablets:
Black Beauties, Brownies, Browns and Clears, Dexies, Double Trouble, Turnarounds
