“Towards a Sacramental Understanding of Dextromethorphan”. 
J Alt Spirit New Age Stud. 2007 Sep;3.
Abstract
Dextromethorphan (DXM) is an ingredient of some cough suppressants which, when consumed in large amounts, can have dissociative and psychedelic effects. Some people within the DXM-user community use DXM to facilitate what they perceive to be spiritual experiences. This paper argues that DXM can therefore be understood within the DXM-user community as a sacrament, and its use located within the neo-shamanic tradition.
