Possibly. There may be laws making it a crime to use OTC medicines in any way other than directed on the label. Not that this stops people from using ephedrine (a bronchodilator) as a stimulant. Nor are you likely to get caught and/or prosecuted; the authorities are much too busy infringing upon our civil rights looking for the illegal drugs. But, remember - I SPECIFICALLY instruct you NOT to use any medicine in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

No. Definitely not. Use of medicine, OTC or not, contrary to instructions may be a violation of local, state, and/or federal law. I hereby specifically tell you not to use any DXM-containing product (or any other product) in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Even if DXM were legal for recreational use, I still wouldn't recommend it for frequent use, nor for high-dosage use. Frequent use may bring about undesirable changes as mentioned above.

It depends on what you consider "enjoyable". Roughly one third of the people who try DXM like it enough to ever repeat the experience; one third hates it, and one third doesn't enjoy it enough to drink cough syrup. Among those who do enjoy it, most report that their more "profound" DXM experiences were in many ways also very unpleasant, challening, and have a strong dysphoric undertone. Experienced psychedelic users seem to enjoy DXM more than the inexperienced. See similar questions...

DXM is a safe and effective cough suppressant ingredient found in over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicines. When used according to directions, products containing DXM produce few side effects and have a long history of safety and effectiveness. Some teens are attempting to get high by taking much larger than recommended doses of DXM in the form of OTC cough syrup, tablets and gel caps. In these high doses, DXM can produce hallucinogenic and dissociative effects. See similar questions...

Drinking alcohol or taking drugs while on medication for mood disorders can be very harmful. Always talk to your doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist before mixing alcohol or illegal substances with prescription medications. Also, ask your pharmacist for the package insert from your medication to learn about the drug interactions and side effects of your medication. Make sure you know how alcohol or illegal substances are going to interact with your medications. See similar questions...

The DXM you extracted is in free base form, so it is theoretically possible to smoke it using a vaporization pipe. This is, however, a difficult task; if you overheat it, it starts to smell like burning plastic, and in any case it's very harsh. See similar questions...

Home and Recreational Vehicle (RV) units are designed and manufactured to U.S. national and international standards for specific CO levels and operating characteristics. These levels and operations are substantially different from those needed for aircraft use. Also, home/RV units do not correct for altitude. In addition, many do not correct for relative humidity and/or temperature. See similar questions...

DXM is available at drugstores throughout the world, chemical suppliers, and (very rarely) as a street drug. Generally, however, I wouldn't trust anyone saying he or she had DXM on the street; it's probably ketamine, PCP, or something totally unrelated. DXM is most commonly available in cough syrups, though some syrups contain other ingredients which can make you sick (or dead) if you take too much of them. See similar questions...

Possibly never. Like any other severe addiction, there is always the risk of a relapse. If you choose to throw caution to the wind, that's your choice and you do it with the understanding of the risks involved. The only suggestion I can give you is to limit DXM use to one particular environment, and make sure it's an environment you do not encounter when not using DXM. Basically, by making it into an isolated ritual, you lessen the chances of normal sensory cues leading you back into addiction. See similar questions...
