here's a head scratchter. I was in the grocery store a few weeks ago to buy Pedialyte bc I knew I was getting real drunk later. I head to the baby aisle where it's been for years and it's gone, so I ask someone and apparently know they have to keep it behind the counter in the pharmacy section. Wtf??

Can it be used to make meth.

this is why, typically

.If not they were probably getting it shoplifted by teens that drink a whole bottle or two.

possibly. i know only certain cough syrups allow you to get high and most have removed the ingredients

*ETA: after googling, it seems that brand did allow you to trip at least as of 2011. it's a time-release trip so mellow and long-lasting

Actavis

?

and no, Dextromethorphan, the active ingredient in Delsym, is not used used to make meth.... that would be pseudoephedrine or ephedrine....

DXM, at higher than normal dosages, causes a mild high, and possibly visual and auditory hallucinations.... that's why it's locked up, or you have to be a certain age to get it....

Not sure if it's locked up in NOLA. Main ingredient is Dextromethorphan, which is derived from Morphine. A while back when kids were drinking bottles of Robitussin to get high it was the mixture that had Dextromethorphan in it.

If I remember correctly, Dextromethorphan can cause fatal heart events when the user is also taking Ibuprofen.

OTC meds with......

Sudafed = Meth

Dextromorphan = Robo-walking.

1 "version", 2 flavors... orange or grape

but the DXM is commonly found in other cough and cold products.... for stuff on your side the counter, combo products have 2 or more of the following (along with their reasons for use): guaifenesin (expectorant), dxm (cough suppressant), diphenhydramine (anti-histamine), and phenylephrine (nasal decongestant)...

on my side the counter, sub out the phenylephrine and sub in pseudoephedrine...

One: buy the children's grape dimeatapp.

Two: the adult dose listed on the back is almost half the bottle.

Three: if you drink the delicious nectar of the gods, don't forget and drink a few beers.

You don't know what Actavis is bro? Act is the real purple drink, was pulled from the market last year.


You could pour 2-4 ounces in a baby bottle and sip or pour into some Sprite, Fanta pineapple, or other fruit flavored drink for optimal taste.

Sadly, 7th is one of the only ones in this thread who knows what the frick hes talking about. Delsum has nothing but shite in it if youre looking for a high, especially the 12 hour extended release. Its not a sought after syrup like Activis once was, now you have to look for Hydrocan or any with the Codiene in it. Promethazine is usually mixed in it by the manufacturer to stop nausea and from you from vomiting it all back up. 3 ounces in an ice cold pineapple fanta used to be my shite when i was young and dumb.

I'm always amazed at how little I know about illegal drug production and use compared to most of the OT.
