[Juicy J]

Im guessin skittles are pills of some sort.

[imscaredofgrass]

ya, i was just playn. "skittles" are actually cough suppressant pills known as skittles for a street name, valued for their Dextrometamorphan (DXM)



price? prob like two, three bucks for a fifty pack. B4 you take anything with DXM though, make sure DXM IS THE ONLY ACTIVE INGREDIANT or you might be LITERALLY spitting/bleeding/shitting out blood and suffering a long, invigorating death. In fact, if you dont know wut ur doing, i wouldnt play around with DXM at all.

i had dxm before a school dance last year, i heard its the same effects as drinking. I took two of them and didn't feel anything; could it be cause it was my first time?

[tlf619]

wel if i DO skittles how many should i take? because last night we were takin a few hits with his bong and the topic came up, he said that the first time you chould take like 10 then less and less every time your do

[imscaredofgrass]

ten sounds bout right. Depend on your weight, and im assuming ur about 14-16, so 10-15 should work.

The effects of DXM vary, depending on your dosage. A low amount will result in a drunken feeling, a medium will make you feel drunk and high, while lots of it is like acid plus drunk and high. An extremem overdose can be fatal, as 1)youll have hallucinations and extreme emotions, that cna lead to self injury and 2)it has been known to permanantly damage the liver and brain.

DXM Dosage
by Erowid

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DXM comes in many different forms. The most common are various over-the-counter cough suppressants (including Robitussin, Delsym, Pertussin, Drixoral, Vicks formula 44, and several generic brands). Each brand contains different quantities of dextromethorphan, generally in the 20-30 mg per dose-unit (liquid measure, pill, capsule) range, as well as a variety of other potentially dangerous drugs. It is easy to mis-calculate dosages, so be careful and check to ensure that the product does not contain other dangerous active ingredients such as CPM (see Coricidin Warning below).

The chart below shows approximate recreational dosages for pure dextromethorphan, measured in milligrams (mg).
Oral DXM Dosages
Threshold unknown
Light 100 - 200 mg
Common 200 - 400 mg
Strong 300 - 600 mg
Heavy 600 - 1500 mg
Risk of Death 2,500 - 20,000 mg 1


Duration : 4 - 8 hours



Some users report that DXM dosages are affected significantly by bodyweight and lighter users should start with lower dosages. Because everyone reacts differently, it is a better idea to start at lower dosages and slowly work up rather than jumping in at a higher dose. Some people are very sensitive to the effects and may be overwhelmed by dosages that are minimal for others.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Warnings
Coricidin Cough and Cold Warning: One of the most common products used as a source of DXM is Coricidin Cough and Cold. This product also contains CPM, which can be dangerous at high doses. Most of the hospitalizations and health problems we hear about are as a result of the use of Coriciding C&C.

Acetaminophen Warning: DXM products containing acetaminophen should not be used recreationally. High doses of acetaminophen can be fatal.

DXM products containing other medicines can be harmful if taken in doses above the recommended limits. Dangerous interactions can occur.



Notes
DXM is considered to be quite safe, even at doses well above those recommended for medical use (10-50mg). A handful of fatalities have been reported from DXM-alone (more are reported from DXM combined with other drugs), but the dosages taken for these fatal overdoses are uncertain. A paper by Gosselin in 1981 estimated the lethal oral dose of between 50 and 500mg/kg (2,500mg for a 120 pound adult at the low and conservative end of his estimate).

Two overdose deaths were reported by Rammer, et al., but the dosages were uncertain. Chronic, daily use of DXM dosages of over 500mg have been reported by several individuals to Erowid, and in a medical study participants were given over 900mg per day without serious adverse reaction (!?). Walker, Hunt, 1989


As with any powerful psychoactive substance, high doses are more likely to induce difficult experiences, negative side effects, allergic responses, etc. Many people experience severe itching at doses over 100mg which precipitate anxiety attacks.

read on the bottle and check for "Medical Ingredients". Only take them if the only medical incredient is DXM (dextromethorphan). in some cough syrups or watever that people use to get dxm, there is also acetaminophin, or cpc i think its called, if you take high doses of these, expect extreme liver damage and other crazy shit.
