===='''Safety'''====

*Use the correct cough syrup ~~as using~~ a cough syrup with active ingredients other than Dextromethorphan HBr is very dangerous.

*'''Use the correct cough syrup'''. Using a cough syrup with active ingredients other than Dextromethorphan HBr is very dangerous.

*Ammonia is flammable and irritating/caustic to the skin. It is caustic to the respiratory system if vapors are inhaled.

*'''If you absolutely cannot do it outside''', try to make your extraction in a room with constant ventilation, such as a bathroom. It won't stop you from being exposed, but it can help contain vapours to that room.

*Naptha is a hazardous chemical with multiple safety concerns. It is extremely flammable. It is irritating to the eyes and skin. Vapors can be irritating to the respiratory system and in high concentrations can depress the CNS.

*'''Ammonia is flammable and irritating/caustic to the skin'''. It is caustic to the respiratory system if vapors are inhaled.

*~~Do not use~~ plastic ~~containers with naptha (or~~, ~~ideally, at all)~~. Naptha can chemically attack and degrade many plastics.

*'''Naptha is a hazardous chemical with multiple safety concerns'''. It is extremely flammable. It is irritating to the eyes and skin. Vapors can be irritating to the respiratory system and in high concentrations can depress the CNS.

*'''Try to avoid using Naphtha with plastic, if possible'''. Naptha can chemically attack and degrade many plastics.

*'''If you are new to this extraction''', try to get into contact with someone who has experience with it and the DXM trip itself.

*'''While higher plateaus are more demanding than lower ones, it is generally a good idea to always have a trip sitter, or someone you trust nearby who knows what you're doing. Make them aware of what to expect'''.

===='''Preparation'''====

If using citric acid, prepare a solution in water ahead of time. For each bottle of tussin, use 1.5 tablespoons of citric acid in 4 ounces of water.
