right now, at the end of the cheap oil era, we are watching the commercial glass enclusure of land-usury capitalism fracture and crack apart, revealing the Real world we've been trying to ignore. here is an example of the strangeness i won't miss:
there is a radio ad making the rounds today, hawking the recent chinese manufacturing brought to you by the fabulous folks over at the People's Republic. apparently Robitussin is on sale, specifically the "drowsy" kind. "drowsy" is the corporate code word for dextromethorphan, one of those insane poisons that we lovingly add to our "medicine." what's curious about all this is that the advertisement calls the product "Robitussin DXM." DXM is actually a slang version of this drug's name; the bottle itself is labeled "Robitussin DM." also curious is that only the DXM version is mentioned, even though Robitussin is produced in non-DM varieties. could it be that Wal-Mart is subtly complicit in peddling dangerous hallucinogens to thrill-seeking kids?
oky, i don't believe that, but this instance is illustrative of the snake-oil peddling mentality that has consumed our pharmaceutical industry.

Okay well for anyone listening, I've done DXM before and it fucking sucks, the "high" is feeling like you're gonna puke out your intestines for about 3 or four hours followed by 2 to 3 day shit session. Of course who am I to judge if yer in to that sort of thing.

i don't know if this is true, but i've heard that this stuff slows the heart rate and the "high" is something closer to a death-like state.
