Hi Arm, welcome to the 'pedia. Here's the FAQ if you're interested. - Hephaestos 06:26, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

• Hi, I'm just wondering about the page rap metal. It's currently a stub, and I'm wondering if it could be just made into a redirect to nu metal. Is there any significant difference between the two genres? Thanks, and it's good to have you with us. Meelar 09:27, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)\
  • Thanks for the help on nu metal. The way I got there was the article on Andrew W. K. . If you could, would you look that over? Thanks again. Meelar 01:33, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

• Hiya! Our little chat got me thinking, so I hunted around, and I came up with a pretty interesting way of looking at the Wikipedia NPOV policy. It answered a couple of questions I wanted to ask, at any rate. :) --T-Boy

• Just wanted to give you a heads up that 2,000mg = 2g. ElBenevolente 05:57, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Also, in regards to (diff) (hist) . . m Dextromethorphan; 04:05:31 . . Arm (Talk) (Theres no way you could take 2grams of DXM and live.), I must disagree. Through personal research and intimate knowledge of the drug dextromethorphan, I have ascertained that for average body weight, 3-4g is in the potentially lethal range, while 2g is actually a rather normal (if high) dose. I know many people, albeit with high tolerances, who ingest this amount on an almost daily basis, and I assure you that they are still alive. DryGrain 15:39, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm talking about 3000 mg of pure dextromethorphan. Now I dont really have much experience with the drug. Just read around dextroverse.org and William Whites DXM Faq which I hope you read. According to them taking over 2 grams is not recommended and people died from taking 3g.

Unless your friends have very high tolerence I dont see how they can take so much Or if they do, how well do they function? Or where do they get so much DXM?Arm

3000mg == 3g. 3g is in the potentially lethal range. I am a former active member of the Dextroverse and have read William White's FAQ a few times, and I have quite a bit of expierience with the drug. (I'm 'not' trying to give you the message that "I have more knowledge, so your opinion is worthless", and if it comes off like that to you, then I apologize.) The Dextroverse and the FAQ have both padded the lethal dose ranges in order to avoid liability. Hypothetically, if I had ever abused DXM recreationally (wink) the highest dose I would have ever taken is 2.2g (or 2200mg). I know some people who have gone as high as 3g (3000mg). As far as I know, there has 'never' been a death from an overdose of dextromethorphan. (However, if it's taken in the form of Coricidin, there is also an antihistamine in the pill called chlorpheniramine maleate which 'can' cause overdoses in excessive quantites.) In answer to your question about where one comes across such amounts of DXM, there are many online chemical supply houses which sell DXM in bulk quantities. Omega Fine Chemicals and American Chemical Supply are two popular ones. Usually, 20 grams of DXM powder, bought in bulk, costs only about $40-$60, making it relatively cheap compared to many street drugs, considering that 20 grams is at a minimum, about 7-10 (very) large doses, and at a maximum about 40-50 small doses.

Hope that answers your questions, if not, let me know what I can clarify. DryGrain 08:11, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
