DXM Abuse: How One Cough Medicine Became Worse Than Heroin

Tonight we uncover the dark truth about a drug sitting in your medicine cabinet right now. In the 1950s, scientists created dextromethorphan as the "safe" alternative to codeine—a cough suppressant that couldn't possibly be abused. They were catastrophically wrong. By the 1960s, teenagers discovered that taking 10x the recommended dose didn't just stop coughs—it ripped consciousness from body, created encounters with geometric entities, and produced dissociative states worse than street heroin. The pharmaceutical industry tried everything to stop it: reformulations, additives, restrictions. Users defeated every safeguard within months. The internet made it exponential. Now it kills hundreds while remaining legal, available, and invisible. This is the story of how one "miracle drug" became a nightmare that society still can't stop. 💸Support us - buymeacoffee.com/syntheticworldstories 🎧Listen to our episodes as podcasts on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09kPsys...
