Marijuana, cocaine, LSD, methamphetamine: these are all serious and very illegal drugs. Flowing around are other types of drugs and legally available drugs, drugs like cough medicine, Robitussin, inhalants, or prescribed medications; many of these are over the counter (OTC’s) drugs. Would you classify these two different types of drugs in the same category? There are some people out there that are abusing the right to take drugs like cough medicine and Robitussin to get high and trip off of them, instead of the healing purposes the drugs are meant for. The idea of taking OTC drugs to get a high and not to cure is a very bad thought, for you can hurt yourself and others.
Getting high off OTC drugs starts at a young age, an age of around 12-16. The reasons for doing drugs at a young age vary. ... Although cough syrup abuse is nothing new, it has been around for more then 30 years, it seams to be coming back into popularity. ... What all of these drugs contain is a common additive in cough suppressants known as DXM or dextromethorphan. ... Does it make sense that getting high off of OTC drugs is a bad idea?
