SUMMARY

The primary active ingredient in Robitussin is dextromethorphan (DXM), which serves as an antitussive agent. It is not found in LSD, commonly referred to as "acid." DXM possesses psychoactive properties at high doses, and caution is advised due to potential adverse effects, including intense experiences and vomiting. For further information, refer to the "William White FAQ" regarding DXM usage.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of dextromethorphan (DXM) and its pharmacological effects.
  • Knowledge of the differences between DXM and LSD.
  • Familiarity with the potential risks associated with high-dose DXM consumption.
  • Awareness of the importance of checking active ingredients in medications.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the pharmacology of dextromethorphan (DXM) and its effects on the body.
  • Learn about the "William White FAQ" for comprehensive information on DXM usage.
  • Investigate the risks and side effects of consuming high doses of DXM.
  • Explore the differences between DXM and other psychoactive substances like LSD.

This topic should probably be moved, though I'm not sure where to.

The antitussive (cough supressing) chemical in Robotussin is dextromethorphan. It is most definitely not present in LSD - and therefore acid, as acid is just a slang name for lsd. It does, however, have psychoactive properties at hypermedical doses. Search on google for the "william white faq" if that is your interest. If you're too lazy to read the whole document and intend to drink cough syrup to trip, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that there are no other active ingredients besides dextromethorphan hBr or you could end up in the hospital. Given the sometimes intense nature of DXM experiences, which are nothing at all like LSD and prove unenjoyable for most people (in addition to the disturbing high itself, the near unavoidable vomiting episodes tend to limit its popularity), I'd highly suggest reading that faq before tasting this stuff.
