Cough syrup

[Guest guest]

First of all, YUCK. That stuff tastes nasty. LOL.

But on the serious side, this is very sad. I think it must have been the

Robitussin DM because I think it is the Dextromorphan (the cough suppressant)

that gets them high. (I don't know if I spelled that right). I have heard of

people drinking or taking the DXM (that big word) to get high. It is so sad. I

mean really. Just about anything we have in our house can be misused. We have

to really be careful to educate our young people about these things. I have

talked myself blue in the face about drugs to my daughter. So far it seems it

has gotten through and she is head strong on being drug free. I hope it stays

that way. She is almost 11 now and next year will be in middle school. That is

scary because these kids face alot of things now that we did not deal with at

that age.

She knows I take rx pain meds. She even knows where they are. I have explained

to her that they are only to be taken if rx'd by a doctor for a good reason.

She understands and is a very independent little thinker. I hope she keeps the

independence up and refuses to be swayed by the wrong crowd.

love and hugs,
