> hello there, chemist here...pardon the hour...larry has stated quite nicely the point of the discourse, as it turns out: not so much legal troubles but rather your disturbing plans...many of us have not visited the four-corners, as it were, and living with the folks while going to school - or not, for that matter - is hardly unique...i do hope you take larry up on his offer for babblemail, and i extend the offer to you (and any others) as well...

> in response to your query, i am a chemist (formally)...i cannot urge you enough not to undertake any procedures such as you allude to, licit or not: the goal is not something worth pursuing, and as larry points out, there are plenty of things that can wind up in an allegedly clean product that are bad news.

> if you are interested in the mechanism(s) implicated in hallucinations, might i recommend you first hit the books? the 5-HT_{2} receptor subfamily is what appears to be hit most heavily by so-called hallucinogens, yet the specificity is not in toto. look into the literature from the 1950s/1960s, particularly that of sid cohen, who used LSD-25 in therapeutic settings for almost a decade before changing his perspective...

If I got psychotic or something and end up in the hospital, can I get into trouble with the law if people find out I took a large dose of DXM and or extracted it?

> > I had a bad experience with trying out nitrous oxide at the dentists. I had a panic attack from the effects of the nitrous. I also cannot drink enough alcohol to get drunk because I get scared from the strange way it makes me feel. I also had a bad reaction the first time I tried cannabis, I started to freak out a little bit because the smoke burned my throat. I feel like trying DXM because I want to experience hallucinations...I'm curious about them. I feel like there is a chance that I might end up dead from suicide, there is soooo much I haven't tried yet or experienced. I want to try things at least once. Even though I'm 23 I've never lived on my own, I don't have my license, I've never been overseas and I don't have friends.

I ended up taking a double dose of my dad's cough medicine, I think I felt a little intoxicated, but no hallucinations whatsoever. I may try a higher dose.

Perhaps I am getting to know you?
