Bring back Codine.
Codeine is much safer actually. The WOD is not about the safety...it is about the money and drug companies and the government which prostitutes their position for power.

The trouble is that so often the hallucinogenic is mixed in OTC meds with psuedoephedrine or an antihistamine. The overdose chances are much higher with these than with dxt. (Which really just makes you sleepy and can't "suppress" a cough. Think about it, if we suppressed your cough, you'd drown!)
Yeah but back in the 1960's it was mixed with Dihydrocodeine which gave one an opiate high-that's why it was taken. It died out pretty much because most states started to require a prescription for the opiate mixture. Dextromethorphan alone, taken in large quanities is similar to an Amphetamine high.
"It's just interesting for self-discovery."Self discovery?! The boy uses cough syrup to "discover himself?!" What sort of adolescent moron needs cough syrup to masturbate?
This was one of the stories in the show "Strong Medicine" on Lifetime last night.
Next thing I know some idiot at the ADA will decide I don't need my Nyquil.
I swear I will throttle someone if they take it off the market. It's a great cold medicine.
My fever is making me hallucinate. And my cough is nasty. Better reach for the cold medicine. It's like a party around here.
Now, may I ask why colds aren't more popular with teens? Teens huddled, gathered together, exchanging and chewing on infected loogies for the thrill of the high, the rush, and the fever.
As an added bonus 1) No drug test worries. 2) Instant excuse to skip school. 3) If you ever die, it's with dignity. 4) You have that cool heroin vacant stare with the circles under the eyes at a tiny fraction of the cost of smack. 5) Killer voice for the pre-teen men.
Bring back weed. Natural, unadulterated and grows in the backyard.
Bring back homegrown tomatoes likewise. Mine aren't doing too well these days. BS: not just for the airwaves, works good in the garden too.
LOL
yup. One of the reasons I joined the eigthy-deuce was to get away from the dope permeated clique that I ran with. Ooops. *grin*
In Saudi you could get DXM over the counter without acetaminophen etc. The brand name was "Romilar". Laughter, sick feeling in the stomach...and really odd visuals. A common one was percieving solid surfaces "morphing"- i.e. you'd look at the ceiling, and percieve a rounded extrusion rolling around- kind of like being in a room with rubber surfaces, and having a beach ball on the outside pushing into the surfaces you were looking at, rolling around, deforming the ceiling, walls, etc.
Aside from the vomiting, and the loss of double digit IQ points the next three days...it was fun.
Sometimes, when I can't fall asleep and need to be up for something in the morning, I will take a dose of NyQuil. Puts me right to sleep...
It's time to ban drugstores.
How can someone down a whole bottle of Nyquil? Or any other cough syrup. I gag, choke, cry, dry heave, and make the most inhuman sounds when I have to take a TEASPOON of Nyquil. Kids today must be desperate.
note- I am not comparing smoking tobacco with getting high on cough syrup- just pointing out that people with put up with unpleasentness if they get a pay off at the end.
The first time I smoked with my friends somebody palmed cheap cigars from a local supermarket. Besides the nausea that I remember, my friends said I turned some shade of green. Unlike Clinton, I did inhale.
