As the years go by, the fads change, the scene gets an update, and so do the drugs.

Nowadays kids are getting high on almost anything they can get their hands on, from over the counter medicine to online herbs.

(Street Names: DXM, CCC, Triple C, Skittles, Robo, Poor Man’s PCP)

September 2007 DEA/OD/ODE

Introduction:

Dextromethorphan (DXM) is an over-the-counter (OTC) cough suppressant commonly found in cold medications. DXM is often abused in high doses by adolescents to generate euphoria and visual and auditory hallucinations. Illicit use of DXM is referred to on the street as “Robo-tripping” or “skittling.” These terms are derived from the most commonly abused products, Robitussin and Coricidin.
