Just an FYI: The active ingredient in many OTC cough medicines is DXM (Dextromethorphan (sp?)), which, in high doses, acts as a dissociative psychedelic similar to PCP and Ketamine.

I never saw being under the influence of any drug, legal or illegal, to be a mitigating factor in a crime. I've always seen it as a reason to increase punishment, sending a message to people to be careful and not do anything stupid when using. Even better, don't use in case you do anything stupid.
