Dextromethorphan

Dextromethorphan at Erowid (abbreviated as DXM) is a questionably efficacious cough suppressant and dissociative hallucinogen in the same class as ketamine and PCP. To the great fortune of middle schoolers everywhere, it is available over-the-counter in Robitussin and most other brands of cherry-flavored snake oil that people buy when they have a nasty cough or feed to their sick kids to get them to STFU IRL.

One day, a rogue pseudo-neuroscientist named William White decided that kids needed help getting high off of cherry-menthol syrup, so he created an extensive FAQ describing how to do it. Purportedly, the intent was to keep kids from killing their livers and/or themselves by taking random doses of random over-the-counter products (e.g. Nyquil or Coricidin) in a desperate attempt to get high. Consequently, he decided he would instruct them on where to buy it, how much to take and the oh-so-awesome things to do while under the influence].

Online communities centered around this drug - DXM communities - are like any other stupid shitty fucking online community: filled with drama and lulz.
