DXM (cough syrup) vs. Codeine?
There are many similarities between DXM and codeine. For example, both are antitussives (i.e. they suppress coughing) that are used worldwide, and both are purported to be equally effective antitussives. But there is one through difference between the two in the U.S.: DXM is available over-the-counter, while codeine is only attainable with a prescription (assuming you're a perfect law-abiding citizen, which I'm sure you are :p)
In the early '60s, DXM completely replaced codeine in the U.S., obviously because codeine, as a opioid, readily runs a high risk for abuse. And this abuse is powerfully documented. I once heard that 95 percent of codeine use in France is recreational. But honestly, did a little (or even a lot) codeine ever hurt anybody?
DXM, otherwise, is an extremely powerful drug that, as a dissociative, produces effects very similar to PCP (angle dust) and ketamine (special K), and what is perhaps most frightening, many relatives who have used the drug heavily have reported cognitive impairment that has stuck beside them even years after quitting. I haven't been able to find anything suggesting that codeine is damaging to the brain, unlike the massive amounts of literature which suggest that DXM name-calling can lead to a whole slew of brain problems. Also, there are frequent death related to DXM.
As luck would have it, DXM is most popular amongst the teenage crowd. Isn't it great to reason that America's youth are destroying their brains with cough syrup?!?
The tables need to be turned. The lower of two evils needs to be slain. DXM needs to be completely done away with, and America requirements to be reintroduced to its erstwhile friend codeine.
I'm sure some of you have tried DXM. Thoughts?

I agree. My step brother (15) tells me about his friends that will drink a bottle or two of NyQuil and after just freak out. I can't imagine what the hell they're doing to themselves, can't be good.
Hey man i'm sold. Bring wager on the codeine!
