I just came from a staff meeting were it was
discussed that students are creating a mixture of Vicks 44 and Hawaiian
punch. After mixing it they put it in a refrigerator for a couple of days.
I have been told that this causes a high for students. Has any
one heard about this and if so can you tell me anything about it. This has
kind of taken us by surprise and we would like to find more out about it.
Thanks

Hello, No haven't heard of it thanks for the heads
up. How to control anyways, have to see it and see it in use here. Maybe
we will yank the vicks from the vending machines. Will ask around here. Steve Student Life Coordinator Fairview College \
The main ingredient in Vicks is Dextromethorphan,
DXM (dextromethorphan), a cheap cough suppressant that causes hallucinations
in the 130-mg dose usually found in fake Ectasy (13 times the
amount in a dose of Robitussin). Because DXM inhibits sweating, it easily causes
heatstroke. So, if their dumping large doses of DXM in punch (which
serves no purposes other than to disguise the taste), their getting "high"
on cough medicine. DXM also has some nasty side effects including vomitting.
