I heard that you can get high off of cough syrup, but I also heard you can over dose on it and die. What is the ingredient that if over dosed on would kill you? How much of that ingredient does it take to kill someone?
Oh no no no it’s not 99% alcohol, the DXM in it is what get’s you high, but what other ingredients can kill you (besides the DXM)?
If it’s prescription cough syrup it would contain a narcotic, and that would be the most dangerous thing.
Then, like as you mentioned there is the Dextromethorphan, that people get high off.
There is Tylenol, that you can overdose on.
Nyquill and other multi-symptom cough syrups have some in it.
The only other thing I can think of would be Sudafed, but that’s behind the counters now.
It’s not so easy to get.
If you have enough of it, it can kill you.
It will cause your heart to speed up and work too hard.
If you took these through cough syrup, you’d have to take a ton of it to kill you.
And it’d be very ugly.

Isn’t it like 99% alcohol or atleast NightQuil is, which is why it knocks you out.
