When using DXM, it's tempting to go for the Triple C's due to the fact that they're probably the least disgusting way to take DXM, I'll be the first to admit it. ESPECIALLY when you're new to it. You don't appreciate the warnings that you hear over and over and over - don't use Triple C's because of the CPM.

Before I continue I've been an avid user of DXM for about 3 years now, and in that time I've been to psych wards and rehabs about 8-9 times. Here's the point, for any user that only uses Triple C's - ALMOST ANYTHING THAT YOU THINK SUCKS ABOUT DXM IS THE CPM.

There, there it is. You know how your heart races and skips beats sometimes after tripping? CPM. The fact that your eyes look totally dead and your pupils don't dilate at all? CPM(alot more than the DXM itself). What about how if you take anywhere from 16-32 C's you're out of commission for the next day and a half because you're so exhausted, even if you sleep. Based on my experience, that's all the CPM. Also, this is definitely speculation, but it really seems to me that alot more of the neurotic/schizo behaviors occur with the CPM. It generally just made me absolutely nuts. I stopped using Triple C's when i got out of rehab 6 months ago and have been tripping with pure DXM. I've yet to have ANYWHERE NEAR the amount of crazy I did before. I've also found that I don't have a regular urge for it and can abstain. With the triple C's, it was almost addicting.

Well, just my $.02. Like I said, the mental aspect of it might be limited to me, but as far as everything else goes, it's pretty much true.

I just wanted to make this thread because I know alot of people see that people say "oh the CPM is bad for your liver, heart, blah blah," and ignore it because they really don't give a fuck. But the truth of the matter is that CPM has disgusting side effects that make you feel like crap.
 
No offense, but it's relatively common knowledge that ingesting cough medicine with anything besides Dextromethorphan especially Chlorpheniramine Maleate is incredibly risky and unhealthy. DXM itself is not the healthiest of drugs to be taking regularly, in the long term, either. It's nice that you've shared your anecdotal evidence with us, but I really don't see the correlation between people ignoring warnings that CPM is bad for your organs and can cause seizures or death with you just saying that it makes you feel bad - that just sounds like pure ignorance of the user to me.
 
I agree that it's pure ignorance of the user. How many high school kids are using triple C's everyday because the're easy to steal? Those kids don't care about seizures or death, they don't think thatt'l happen to them. If you tell people how shitty it makes them feel then maybe the'll become wiser. I doubt that everyone who wants to use DXM has the attitude of "a bluelighter said CPM is dangerous for my heart over time, maybe I should chug 2 bottles of disgusting vicks or take double the robogels, which are larger than CCC's and more disgusting. Yea, for my heart!" Like...I doubt any kid actually thinks that
 
Why not just buy pure USP grade dextromethorphan HBr from a company? Pretty easy to find using search engines and legal in most states (all except illinois I believe). It's cheaper too and you don't have to chug nasty syrup. I'd recommend picking up a milligram scale as well.
 
That's true, but how many people with that mentality do you see browsing these forums? I'm not trying to bash you or anything because you make a completely valid point, I just think you might be preaching to the choir, so to speak. I'm not quite sure how to get this type of information out there to individuals who are unwilling to listen to logic and reason since if one does not care about their organ health, it's likely they aren't going to listen to one person with experience telling them it makes you feel shitty, either. I think it boils down to the fact that there are a lot of ignorant people in general out there, and some of them just happen to be drug users. You could show someone exactly what CPM does to you and why you shouldn't take it and they'd still shrug it off and decide that they know better. Natural selection pervades all subcultures, unfortunately.

That's true, I'm just hoping that maybe someone will notice how shitty they think DXM makes them feel and realize that if they're using CPM it's probably that. My point wasn't really to say that CPM is dangerous, although it is, I was more going for how CPM makes you feel like shit. I'm actually surprised that I haven't seen anyone say this before, I'm sure someone has, but for the most part all I've seen is how it's dangerous for your health.
 
I mean, I think it stands to reason that if something isn't good for your health, taking high doses of it isn't going to make you feel particularly good, especially if you consume it frequently.
 
How would CCCs be easier to shoplift than robitussin? The 4oz bottles are fairly small. BTW, if we are talking effective deterrents for ingesting large amounts of stupid shit you dont need that makes you sick... if the first or second time they experiment with it (and they aren't smart enough to research it beforehand) isn't enough to make them think "hey somethings wrong here" or "this isnt worth it", I doubt anything will be.
 
If you can't afford the $10-$15 to trip though you should probably not bother. I was caught shoplifting CCCs a long time ago and it sucked. It would be great if they made 30mg gel caps of robotussin, i'm not sure why they don't (probably abuse potential) so that people wouldn't feel inclined to grab a few boxes of CCCs. Personally i prefer the trip with anithistamines, i find they take away a lot of the side effects and also potentiate the DXM (in reasonable doses anyway).

I always knew CCCs were unhealthy but even being educated i didn't really give a shit. After reading about numerous deaths from CCCs i eventually wised up and decided to stop risking my health to get high. So i wouldn't have much advice for the troubled youth who like to steal and take CCCs other than reading about the deaths and terrible trips others have gone through. They should just remove the CPM or take it off the shelves.
