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...
hit the books and the babblemail, if you please! all the best, chemist
> I live in Canada, I'm not sure whether or not DXM in large doses is scheduled or not. I don't plan on selling what I extract, so it is unlikely I will get into trouble. 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 though I was going to go out and buy the things needed for extraction yesterday, but my mood changed somewhat and I didn't have the energy to go through with it. 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.
