So I'm reading the People mag, and there is a story about how the youth of today are abusing dextromethorphan for its hallucinogenic qualities - however, many kids are dying from it. It talks about abusing cough syrup and cold tablets. It's called robotrippin.
Anyone ever hear of this?
The parents of these kids want this DXM (which you can buy over the internet apparently) to be put "behind the counter" or to be made a controlled substance. Cough drops? Really?

How many kids? As many as have died from, say, X?* Seems to me that everything should be made over the counter and children should be placed into giant plastic bubbles until they are 18 years old, at which time they will be allowed to go to college and kill themselves on alcohol binges. WTF.
*all four of them
