Why is DXM generally looked down upon by other drug users? When I was new to it a 7 dollar bottle of DXM would have me tripping for hours and it'd be like I was in a whole other world, as opposed to spending 20 bucks on weed that would keep me high for a bit but not out of my mind. I mean yes it is used in cough syrup but that doesn't mean it's any less of a drug than LSD or Shrooms(which I've used). Not saying it's as good as them but there's no reason to consider it a stupid teenager drug. I have access to other things and I still enjoy a good DXM trip.
