Winter Cold?
Have a winter cold?
Be careful. That over-the-counter cold medicine you have in your medicine cabinet may have some Dextromethorphan (DXM) in it and DXM can make a person high. You may not know about DXM, but most drug abusers do, so check your medicine cabinet.
DXM can produce a high similar to LSD; including hallucinations, vivid dreams, loss of motor control and "out of body" states. This high is described as "robo tripping" by DXM users. It takes an overdose of DXM to produce a high and this overdose can also cause health problems like rapid heart beat, lethargy, high blood pressure, kidney damage, liver damage seizures and even death. This drug is easy to get and emergency rooms are reporting waves of young people who are overdosing on it. Estimates are that over two million teens in the United States have abused DXM products to get high. Often, these teens are finding information about DSM on the internet.
At Narconon, we have first hand accounts from clients who abused this drug in the past. One reported that Coricidin (the most popular drug containing DSM) seemed to leap into his pocket when he was in the drug store. Another told a staff member that he has never quite returned to normal after his extensive abuse of the drug. The theft of drugs containing DXM is at an all time high.
It is sometimes difficult to tell if someone is abusing an over-the-counter medication containing DXM. Be alert if the person is acting stoned but there is no tell-tale smell. This is a key sign. Other symptoms are:
Dilated pupils
Confusion
Slurred Speech
Dizziness
Loss of coordination
While Coricidin is the most popular of the abused over-the-counter-medications, DXM is found in over 140 products. Look for those products that say "DM" or "Tuss".
Don't leave it to law enforcement to solve this problem. Drugs with DXM can be bought and consumed in large amounts without any laws being broken. Be alert for theft when you are in a drug store with an abuser or if you work in a retail facility that sells cold medication.
The best defense against this drug is education. The dangers are real and probably unknown to any would-be- user. This is one of the most dangerous ways to get high and unfortunately the most available. Anyone about to take this stuff for fun needs to know it could kill them.

Narconon Day!
| Narconon of Georgia to Celebrate Narconon Day Narconon Founded 42 Years Ago |
| Atlanta, GA 1/22/2008 1:17 AM GMT (TransWorldNews) Narconon of Georgia, a non-12 step drug recovery program, announces its celebration of Narconon Day on February 19, 2008. February 19 is designated as Narconon Day as it was that day in 1966 when William Benitez founded Narconon while he was an inmate in the Arizona State Prison. Mr. Benitez successfully conquered an 18 year heroin habit, through information he learned in Fundamentals of Thought, by L. Ron Hubbard. He wanted to share his success with others, and with permission started Narconon, the non-12 step drug rehab program in the prison. Since its inception, Narconon has continued to grow as a network throughout the world.
Narconon centers worldwide are inviting all past graduates to Narconon Friday night graduation on February 15, 2008. In addition to the usual acknowledgement of students who finish courses and those who have graduated the full program, special acknowledgements will be given to the those very special early graduates. One of the original students who graduated the program, Gordy Weinand, said recently, "Little did I know that over the decades our little group of twenty drug addicts looking for help with drug addiction would grow to an international organization spanning six continents and 35 countries." Mr. Weinand currently works for Narconon of Georgia in Public Relations. For more information on non-twelve step drug addiction rehabilitation, or drug education, call Narconon of Georgia at 1-877-413-3073. |
