    Posted by Jeff (Saturday January 03 2004 @ 12:57AM EST)
    Last Friday, NBC News scooped the world when it reported that kids get high on cough syrup. According to NBC's Ron Allen, adolescents too young to get into bars have just discovered that flagrant violations of Robitussin's directions will result in a buzz. Since there are maybe twenty-five kids left in America who were unaware of this use of over-the-counter cough remedies, NBC offered some clarification. If you want to get high on cough syrup, then make sure it contains dextromethorphan. That's the shit that gets you really high.

    To fully illustrate the damaging effects of cough syrup on the average adolescent, NBC needed an extreme case of dextromethorphan gluttany. Not the Fisherman's Friend, mind you. They wanted his butt buddy. NBC scoured the nation until they discovered a real loser. According to Ron Allen, "Joel Cahoon, 16-years-old and now in rehab, says his drug problem turned worse the day he ran out of marijuana."

    Oh sweet irony, how do I love thee!

    When Cahoon ran out of weed and the Man came down on his supplier, a friend told him that cough syrup "can make you fucked up, dude." Thanks to media reports like the one by NBC, Cahoon's friend was able to tell him to buy dextromethorphan. "Ricola sucks, dude. It's all-natural."

    Even the harshest critics of marijuana are often forced to recognize that it is relatively benign compared to most recreational drugs (including alcohol.) These people often counter legalization pleas with nifty catch phrases like, "Now what kind of message would that send to our children if we legalize pot?" Thanks to our sixteen year-old rehab resident we have an answer: "Support Wyeth Consumer Healthcare products, not your local pusher."

    This is Joel Cahoon's mother. I'm sitting here reading your misspelled bullshit about doing dextromethorphen. You geniuses have life all figured out, don't you? I'm not wasting my time on trying to educate obviously stupid people. I will tell you this. I have lived for 3.5yrs with a son addicted to Coricidin. I have taken him to the hospital 6 times for overdoses where they insert an NG tube and pump his stomach full of charcoal till he vomits for hours. I have seen him in handcuffs and shackles around his ankles. You go ahead and try to convince yourselves and your hopeless friends of how great getting high is. And don't think I don't know. I got high in my 20's, thinking I owned the world. But when you start to lose things like family, good friends, jobs, homes...you start to reassess your life. Sure, you will always have the same piece of shit drug friends, stupid people join together in hopes of all of them combined having an IQ of more than 30. My advice to you....KEEP GOING!!!!! When you are walking the street homeless, digging out of trashcans for food, know that I will keep you in my prayers.

    Thanks Linda for trying to make it clear to obvioulsy kids that have no life goals other than being drug addicts. I have a 15 yr old daughter Iam now going through hell for to help her. Its infortunate that the (Druggies) have no reality in their life or what is going on inside. I would also say Guess what Bet your parents dont care( because they dont know and dont care) I was more concerned about why , what was the problem with my child that I became suspicious enough to snoop around and found it. Guess what continue on the path you are on and the problem gets bigger!!! Robo tripping is fun? wiat till you and your friend is doing it and all the fun is happening and you are the only one to wake up from that trip that you so call thought was okay. Your friend is now dead( feeling responsible? ) We are the ones with the common sense seeing the damage being done. We are trying to save your lives not have you be the next ??? number of victims 6 ft under. Try a little respect for people who are out there trying to help you!!!

    I do the robo gels every other day for months now. The Lord wants you to do this and go to this web site and join and read everything about Him and realize that marijuana should be legalized, and this dextromethorphan should be made cheaper and easier to buy. They should sell them as a buzz drink in liquor stores with a warning not to drink the alcohol with it.

    listen, i myself have used couph medicine to get high. Now i wasnt looking for an alternative to pot, i have only smoked pot like, 3 times. it was a spur of the moment thing when i was in stop and shop with my friend. Yes it does work, and you do trip. but, i have to saay that there is to many risks when buying it, if you get couph medicine with the wrong drung in it than it could kill you or cause palpitations of the heart. SO if you do it i would recomend tussin estra streng cough. not couph and sinus, or runny nose, just cough. It contains only dextromethorphan in it as a main chemical so you can be sure that you are doing it safely. I think, that it is a good thing to try one time so you get an idea of what people think of it. Also make sure you try not to consume more than 4 oz, if you do the end result could result in you being in a whole lotta trouble, or death. so heed my words. one time. tussin estra strength couph. 4 oz. you may like what happens, but it is addictive so control what you do. im out

    You must not plan to have a career in football. My son does, and he's a smart guy. He's clean. I'm a recovering alcoholic, in the 70's I rightfully earned the title "Acid-Queen", I've shot up speed, coke, downers, uppers, booze and LSD. I dropped out of school at 15, went to work at 18 in a manufacturing factory of children's clothes, I lost a few jobs, always, always, always had an attitude anywhere. Today at 50 I am a junior in college for my BS in Library Sciences. I have no credit, no savings, a beat up car, and renting a dump because that is all I can afford. I don't want my kids to have all I had, I want them to have so much more. I told my son that he is a leader, he told me he wasn't. I said then you must consider yourself a follower. You know what you want, you have self-esteem, and are sure of who you are. The rest of you that say this crap is cool, I hope you make it out alive like I did, just sooner. If not there is one of three places you'll end up and possibly all three-end up in jail (for a serious crime of robbery or drunk driving) you'll either kill yourself and others while under the influence, or just go to the nut house forever. You don't have to believe me, just watch where your friends start disappearing. One day you'll wake up (hopefully) and realize that you are grey haired, wrinkled like a crumpled piece of paper, and talking to yourself as you walk about the streets trying to get your drug of choice.

    You're missing something here, lady.

    YOU fucked up your life.

    YOU made the wrong decisions with the wrong substances.

    That doesn't mean that everyone else on the face of the planet will.

    I'm seventeen. I smoke pot on a regular basis, I like to get drunk every once in a while, and every once in a great while, I like to trip my hairy little nutsack off with CCC's.

    I get A's and B's in school and plan to be a psychologist.

    How do I do it? Probably because I'm not a fucking moron, like you are and were.

    You don't deserve to have children and the world is a worsened place for your having bred.

    That is exactly what I was going to say, drugs don't make you (too) much dumber, dumb people are usually the ones to try drugs, but the intelligent ones who chose to use them don't get into the same problems as everyone else. I smoke pot enough, and am willing to try shrooms or acid, but I'm not going to start shooting up heroine or snorting coke, I don't even smoke cigarettes, and I have straight A's in honors and AP classes, starting center field, and run 5 miles a day. YOU lady, did fuck up your life, so it gets kind of annoying when people group all drug users together as fuck-ups and assume they'll all turn out the same...

    oh my god some of the shit in here is fucked up . First of all consuming more than 4 oz will only kill you if you way like 65pounds. it takes 3000 mg of dex to kill the average 160 pound person. that is over 6 8oz bottles. And its called robo maximum stregth cough. not extra shtreng. contrary to popular belief you can get dex in staight powder form. i my self have been using dex for over 5 years with no advers affects or arrest or having my stomach pumped. so cahoon you and your son are just stupid peaple. also any but bush get your facts straight before you try educate someone

Anyone taking anything for a cough that is not sick...well, that shows how smart you are. You will probably all be dead by the time you are 30. But that's okay, the world needs less idiots!

    You know what people? I have a 22 year old daughter just coming out of the phych hospital tomorrow morning from a bad trip on coriciden. I am thinking about getting into a class action lawsuit if I can find one against this company. You KIDS don't have any idea what you are doing to your PARENTS and any other family member that is going through this FUCKING BULLSHIT WITH YOU!! I am a parent and I am going through this with her. She has a daughter, 19 months old today. This is her second time for being in this hospital for coriciden O.D. She has halucinated, heard voices, saw people that weren't there, flipped out over storms (weather) ran away from ppl trying to help her. She told her fiance that she didn't want to be with him anymore, the baby's father, This is messed up. There is more but you people have got to get a grip. She is supposed to start college on the 5th. How do you guys even do anything being flipped out on this drug. Not to mention what it does to your heart, breathing, nose, sinuses. Have you told your parents some of these symptoms? Maybe you should. Maybe parents should ask their kids more. I didn't even know she was going through some of the shit that she was.

    YOU PPL HAVE GOT TO GET A GRIP ON LIFE...... YOU ARE OUR NEXT GENERATION AND THAT SCARES ME.

    Lawsuit against the company wouldn't work. Your child (and others) took the risk knowingly and did not follow proper dosage instructions. No suit there. HOWEVER, if you could sue the person who turned your child onto the meds in the first place, you might have a legit lawsuit with some teeth.

    Wow, I am so shocked by this site. My deepest regards to Mrs. Calhoon and to the lady whose daughter is being released from the hospital tommorow. I am not against having a good time but many people seem to take it to the extreme. It's so sad and no one should be bashing anyone for what they do. If something someone is doing is messing up their life (whether it be drugs or other things) that is NO cause to just go out and be hateful to them. If they want help, then help, if they don't, hope and pray for them but don't go on sites and bash them. I am 20 years old and I have a 10 month old son, a husband in the navy (he is currently on deployment), a lovely house, decent car, a good job, and I am in school part time to be a software programmer. I have smoked weed many times before and have tried painkillers, adderall, and ecstacy (sp?). When I was pregnant I did not do any of these things or drink for the sake of my son. Now as a mom with a good career and school going well (4.0 GPA! I'm rather proud of it! Lol :-)) I know I need to be constantly aware of my surroundings, I need to be there for my son. However, I won't lie, when my son is upstairs sleeping soundly, every other weekend or so my friends will come over and we'll sit in the backyard with a 20 pack of budlight and a couple of joints and just chat away. It's a nice, chill down time for us. I feel that everyone has a certain limit, a certain threshold for tolerance, addiction, ect.....and it is entirely unique to each and every person. If you can be 100 percent sure that your life is on track, that you are not damaging yourself (or worse.......), damaging or putting in possible harm those around you, then you do what you feel is right. If triple c's are something you enjoy and you can handle, then that's fine, go for it, whatev. I truly believe it is up to each person what they can and cannot handle. Now obviously, poor Mrs. Calhoon's son got into something that was way over his head and now he has a battle against addiction to fight, probably for the rest of his life. I feel for her and for her son and I will pray for them. There are those who know they cannot handletolerate even a drop of alcohol (one of my friends is like that) and simply just don't drink. There are also those who can handle a joint, a few brandy shots, or whatever, every once in a while, while knowing it is not going to affect their life and do so. However, I do not think it is smart to be in a constant state of inebriation or high, tripping, ect......nor healthy. The person who is in that place in their life obviously has a problem but does that mean we go and curse them out? Bash them? Tell them they are idiots or whatever hateful thoughts may float to our minds? Certainly not! That is probably the worst thing you can do to a person. Addiction comes in many shapes and sizes; foods, exercise (yes! Even working out in some ways can be an addiction!), drugs, you name it. Every single person on the planet has some sort of addiction, whether big or small, major or minor in their lives. People are zoning in a bit too much on some of the more "major" addictions in my opinion *sighs*. Ah, I'm not sure where I'm going with this, just sharing my thoughts and rambling. I need to go take my dog to go potty haha she's begging at the door so I'll go for now but please, feel free to tear apart, agree with, criticize, ect.....my post. It's all about freedom of speech right! :-) y'all all have a good night.

I need to go take my dog to go potty haha she's begging at the door so I'll go for now but please, feel free to tear apart, agree with, criticize, ect.....my post. It's all about freedom of speech right! :-) y'all all have a good night.

    Dude, i have robo-tripped many times, just down like a 4-8 oz bottle and wait for like an hour and a half, then you'll start trippin hard for a good 8-12 hours, you wont be able to sleep, you'll be really sluggish the next day but you'll have fun

    Thanks for all the tips, chitlins. I was looking around today for something legal and over-the-counter, as to not interfere with an upcoming drug test, and voila!

    I just downed a 4 oz. bottle. We'll see what happens, wont we?

    Dude, I just robo-tripped for the last 3 days. In those 3 days i consumed about 2 and a half bottels of robotussin. 8oz I wouldn't recomend you do it right it all at once,just take about half of a 8oz or a full 40z bottel. Then if you want more take a little more every few hours. Be carefull and have a sitter your first time cause you may freak out. I did and almost died.

    Obviously you have already gotten brain damamge to think that robotripping is an "awesome high". I hope you think having heart failure, stroke and death will be awesome too. Cowards use drugs. I know, I used to abuse drugs because I couldn't cope with my life as it was. Then I decided to face my problems and work on making my life BETTER, not worse. Drugs only made more problems. You must have people who love you, do you have any idea the pain losing you would bring? Reconsider your choices in this life. You only get one (life). Peace be with you....

    I am VERY sober, don't insult my intelligence! There is NO such thing as an "OK" drug. And if you know anything about addiction, it is a PROGRESSIVE disease. The reason for the interview was to make it obvious the damage drug use does. It was not meant to glorify it like some of the comments made to this site. My only point I'm trying to make is that teens are not smart enough to realize the long term effects. Teens are DYING from Coricidin overdoses. They are extremely aggressive on this drug, even violent. My son is only a meer example of what HIS drug use caused. He had free choice on whether to use drugs or not. He was not forced into that lifestyle. But nonetheless he is in it. And to be 18 sitting in County Jail, that's a sad thing. I hope that teens will THINK. I hope parents will ACT.

    The problem is found in extremes. Consider the loud "NO" you employed in your second sentence. Since your experience has been largely unfavorable, you leaped to extremes and declared "NO such thing as an 'OK' drug." Few people would agree with that statement and I'd lay money there is some aspirin in your medicine cabinet.

    I found no need to insult your intelligence as you're doing just fine on your own. So there could be no doubt, the point was summarized neatly on a single line: "Oh sweet irony, how do I love thee!" The government has declared war on some drugs yet all can cause great damage when improperly administered. Why should a street hustler do time for selling marijuana while a pharmaceutical giant makes millions pushing cough syrup?

    linda cahoon...what the fuck... you think you got it all figured out,huh? in all your narrow minded rage i think you forgot to notice that there is such thing as responsible drug use. there is unfallible proof that people use drugs for infinite reasons and only the irresponsible fuck up. notice how most of the people you meet are on a drug of some sort, coffee, cigs, weed, alcohol, whatever, wellbutrin. drugs are drugs but some are safer than others. doubt me? read on a toxicology report. some people cannot even be spotted as a drug user. not everyone goes to the extreme like you and your sun. recent info has surfaced about dxm being harmless, so for real dont talk until you know the truth. cuz all truth is valid. like the truth about coricidin containing NOT only the psychiatrically valuable dxm, rather something called chlorpheniramine maleate. this, an antihistimine, is truly dangerous. not the dxm.tell me this: do you think of the ancient ways of the shaman the same way? they use psychedelics, not drugs, for understanding, and let me guess, youre gonna tell me its not possible, right? you, a single person of closed minded conservative society, are gonna challenge the collective wisdom of eons of indigenous peoples, numbering in the infinite from around the world? so, you mean to tell me that the music the beatles wrote on lsd is lame cuz it was written on drugs? that the doors and greatful deads music is not real cuz they came up wit it on drugs? come tha FUCK on and think for a second: just cuz you cant deal with reality or your drugs, the whole world is not the same. as many druggies as you can come up with can exist. not all use to escape. some go the exact opposite of down. i and many others i know ingest sacred plants to face reality. sadly, i also know those that cant handle it. it all depends on the person, their awareness, and choices. notice how spirit is energy, and as science class tellz ya, energy is never destroyed, only transferred. well, everything alive is made of energy. sceince has proven this with thermophotography. plants are alive, and some tend to have very wise spirits. humans are also alive, with spirits, so when a teacher plant is ingested, and you can be open enough to see what its spirit knows as it merges temporarily with yours, you can use it along with changes in self in the battlefields of life to perfect your situation. i and many others have done this. theres no disproving it. the world is too vast for any to understand fully and you have your reasons for thinking what you think but there comes a time where thoughts are not sufficient and you must actually see reality as it really is: limitless, if you want to actually have something to say. nobody knows shit about drugs and medecine plants anyway. observations are facts and are objective rather than the very subjective thought. take, for example, the government. it is a known fact that they lied about marijuana and many other drugs to cover it up. some still got curious and found out the truth, that it is safe and actually has been used EFFECTIVELY as a medecine for thousands of years. i am a shaman in training for long time now. i have experienced reality for what it really is and it is startling in its vastness. reality is, though, that i have only seen a tiny piece of the whole. dont think you know: find out. to even know, you have to work with your perceptions to truly see anyway. if we had you do some stalking of the self and recapitulation, you would see that humans are not necessarily smart. many mental problems exist and i have detected several in your posts. give it up. truth exists as it does. i and many other shamans and musicians artists and you name it have found understanding thru awareness action and "drugs". dont underestimate what you dont understand. there is interpretation (illusion) and then there is reality (truth) where do you live? peace and love. im out. oh yea check this out: www.erowid.org and actually read it with an open mind. see the whole universe at once rather than a picture on the wall of a house in america on earth. and try to kill your internal dialogue. try something new. see whats there not just whats in your head.

    ive been taking DXM on and off for 7 yrs now. my average Mg dosage is 800 mg and the most ive takin is 1500 ( weight 180 ) lbs. i do have to say the drug is highly addictive and probably the most important thing ive learned is to never take more than 500 mg in public places. the trips are described as plateaus 4th being the highest and i try to use dxm for spirtual purposes because pretty much on higher dosages that is what your exploring-- your spirit. ive found no other drug that has so much profound power as this -- dxm. important note-- be comfortable with yourself before taking it

    Well, it is nice to read that we do have some thoughts that are the same. With my statement of "No drug is OK", I thought it didn't need mentioning what I was referring to. DRUG ABUSE. Marijuana is not a safe drug, OTC meds are not safe if you ABUSE them. As for aspirin, it is a blood thinner and too much of that can cause stomach ulcers, anemia, and death. So my point is that if you are taking ANY MEDS to merely get a "high" from it, it is NOT OK. As for the pharmeceutical co's, I agree 100% with you. I have written to Schering Plough about my son's addiction and they sent me a very patronizing letter. Of course they won't acknowledge it being abused because they are scared of lawsuits or any responsiblity. We can go even further and turn this towards politics. President Bush gets richer from his "paybacks" while unknown teens die. But look at Iraq, Bush doesn't mind death. I worked in the medical field for many years and it makes me sick to see all the money drug reps blow. You're right, they get richer off of people's misery. I grew up in the 70's and was all about legalizing marijuana. I don't feel that way now. But my arguement back then was that the only reason it WOULDN'T be legal is because the government couldn't figure out a way to make money off of it. I don't have the answers. I only speak from a mother's standpoint. My heart is broke and I feel angry. I want my son back, and I know that even if he gets sober, I will NEVER have HIM back. I wish to spare other teens and parents my heartache. I know that isn't possible, and all of us have to find our place in this world. I don't mean to sound like a martyr, out to save the world. I'm the type of person that if I see someone who needs help, I offer what I can. All I want to do is make sure people know both sides of using DXM. It's not all glamorous by far.

    I'm growing tired with you. You don't understand the topic on hand and I don't think you ever will. This piece is about the War On [some] Drugs. No matter what the Federal Government does to prevent drug abuse, people are going to abuse drugs. Your son's experience offers a perfect illustration. For lack of marijuana, he turned to over-the-counter cough syrup. If the .gov outlaws that, then he still has access to nutmeg, banana peels, herbal tea and a host of other legal items.

    A lot of the problems called "drug abuse" come from bad parenting. How about you spend less time flaming strangers on the Internet and spend some time getting to know your son and try to understand why he is abusing drugs and getting arrested and hurting himself? Just a thought.

    I just returned from the hospital after visiting a student of mine. Four days ago, he was in my office with stomach pains and I thought he had the flu. He had actually taken 8 CCC's. The following day, he took 15. His heart rate was 190, his hands turned purple and cold, his face was on fire, his teeth chattering, and his body spasing. He was rushed to the hospital and now is on life support. His nervous system has shut down and his brain will not tell his body to breathe. A week ago, I had never even heard of "Triple C's". Any more information that will educate me, my staff, parents and students would be appreciated.

    Blaming parents for you making bad decisions is a real good one! Did you just come up with that one all on your own, Mark?? If "strangers " can get advice on these sites about how much coricidin do you take to get high, then I certainly can voice my opinion. It's called Freedom of Speech. You look at it as "flaming strangers", I look at it as trying to do something positive about a very old problem. And to Jeff, you fight the current battles "at hand". Right now coricidin is the main drug of choice for teens and they are dying from it. Another substance will be abused, absolutely, and then you fight that. One final thought, I did not cause my son's addiction and I cannot cure it.

    You are ranting and raving like a crazy person. But if I was a young person looking for information about drugs, or a parent looking for information about how to raise a child, the last person I would listen to would be the barely literate mother of an imprisoned drug abuser. But if wasting your time instead of spending energy on your own family is what you want to do, feel free. I was just pointing out the irony.

    To all of you who think that "tripping" or "hallucinating" is FUN, grow up and join the real world. Get a life, get a job, go to school do whatever you have to do but life is NOT about drugs. There are people who actually struggle with REAL hallucinations. Visual, audio, you name it, they have it. They wake up every morning and try and start each day over, hoping the hallucinations won't be as bad as the day before. And they go on. And you're all trying to recreate this horror. AND DEFEND IT! It's nobody's fault or choice but your own. If you're weak enough and ignorant enough to choose that life, than OWN it and stop blaming other people. Be proud of the miserable life you chose, the fact that you choose to mimic the lifestyle of people who struggle daily with mental illness and who strive to overcome it. Those are the people who I admire, not you ignorant people who haven't a clue.

And I accept that you have the same rights. As for literacy, you know only what I have shared about myself, you don't know ME. Why don't YOU get out and do something about YOUR convictions instead of "wasting time" as you point to me. Where's YOUR conviction in making a difference about the injustices you speak of??

    ok...Mme. Cahoon, not that I dissagree with you on every point, but you really need to stop and LISTEN to what other people are saying. The original post, in my view, was not really about drugs being good or bad or anything like that, but rather was about the hypocrasy of the government. I am very sorry about your son. When my friend got arrested for smoking pot and doing smack, I was scared shitless. However, I still do stuff. I mean, mild stuff generally, with my friends, and usually we're just having fun. Like the other day, I did like 15 ballons of helium with my friends in the church parking lot. And for those of you who haven't ever done that much, yes it does get you high, not that much, but it last a LONG time. Anyway, getting back to you, Mme., I do not blame you for what happened to your son, but I will tell you that I just came across this site looking for how much shit to take to start trippin. Want to know why I was interested? right now, home is the last place I want to be because my parents are driving me suicidal. Literally. And anyone who thinks I'm a whiny, melodramatic teen does not know what talking to my parents does to your self esteem and psycology. Anyway, home is the last place I want to bee right now, but here I am, so I wanna start tripping to get the hell out of here. That's all I have to say. This is not meant as an attack.

    Linda Cahoon, Look your kid is a fuck up! Stop trying to candy coat it and addmitt it. With that in mind you have to ask yourself one question; In the last 18 goddamn years, when did you decide to give him, "The Talk" about drugs? After his first O.D or after his first arrest? It's not about, Pres Bush and what's goin' on in Iraq, nor is it about your trials and tribulations of you growing up. It's about you being a fuck up, parent! It's about you not sending your kid to military school after he fucked up the first time. You want to know why people condemn you, well now you know. Why did you come on here tell a bunch of teenage pot heads how low their I.Q is because they like to smoke a bowl and watch movies? Yet you couldn't of taken that time to do it with your own, brat kid. You might want to elaberate on where you were when he was using the lunch money which you gave him, for COUGH medicine. Besides I don't remember the last time I got an ulser from smoking pot. What it comes down to is irresponsible parenting, little preparation of life, and the blame game. I say blame game, since you wrote, "Schering Plough" about your son's misguided choices in life which they have nothing to do with. You didn't let the little shit know who's boss in the house hold. That's the concept. Take parenting lessons, asshole!
