Hello Diana,Dextromethorphan

Hello Diana,

Dextromethorphan is a commonly abusable drug and is used mainly by teenagers to achieve a dissociated state. It's predominant usage in cough suppression makes it a must for cough medication, but it's abusable properties are making officials skeptical.

 

Just thought I'd let you know that.
