   DXM in Robitussin form is scary as hell.  I used to be addicted to it for a   
   couple years, due to its subconscious somewhat spiritual effects.  After one   
   near death experience and a few heart stoppers I couldnt risk my life any   
   longer.  I guess I should be thankful to be alive and somewhat drug free   
   today.  (Music is considered to be a drug by some, so I'm not "drug-free" in   
   that sense).  I'm not trying to be lame and boring in some sheepish way, but   
   after you get freaked out of your mind that youre having a heart attack, or   
   your heart stops for some seconds... that is enough to make a grown man cry   
   out for another chance at life.   
      
   Peace and be careful.
