*'''Pen, paper, and (preferably) internet access''' for planning dose and volumes needed.

*'''DXM containing cough syrup.''' Cough syrup containing Dextromethorphan HBr ONLY is ideal. Syrups that also contain Guaifensin are acceptable. Do NOT use any syrups containing any other active ingredients, such as acetaminophen. Products marketed as "Dry cough relief" are your best bet, but ALWAYS CHECK INGREDIENTS.

*'''Ammonia (clear, unscented, non-sudsy).''' Usually found at large grocery chains in the kitchen/bathroom area.

*'''Large freezer bags''' (We will hang these up with our Syrup/Naphtha and Naphtha/Lemon Juice mixtures inside, to allow separation.

*'''2 litre, threaded cap container, such as a soft drink bottle'''. Depending on the total volume of your ammonia/naphtha/syrup mixture, you may opt to use a large mason jar with a lid.

*Glass ~~container~~ for boiling Agent Lemon (Acidity of lemon juice will dissolve metal/teflon into your mixture!)

*'''Glass pot for boiling Agent Lemon on stove, or pyrex container/measuring cup for in microwave'''. (Acidity of lemon juice will dissolve metal/teflon into your mixture!)
