	Drink robo only if you can't get any acid.  I've roboed about 20 times
in the last six months or so, and I hope I don't ever have to do it again.
That's not to say the experience isn't pleasant, but it's also a little 
unpleasant and not nearly as good as acid.  I'm also a little worried about
it being unhealthy.  I'm also pretty sure it is addicting, based on friends' 
and my personal experience.  
	As for dosage, I've found one four-ounce bottle of Max Str. Cough 
to be ideal.  I once tried two bottles (the second bottle about five hours
after the first), and I thought I was gonna die.  I was violently sick for
at least two hours, and felt real bad for about a day after that.   
	If you try it, be careful not to be too stupid.  Someone already 
mentioned climbing bridges...  Well, don't think that just because you know 
enough to avoid such things while straight, that you won't do them while on 
robo.  I know cause I found myself dangerously high above the road on the 
same night I took two bottles.  Robo can make ya pretty stupid.  

	Well, I've gotta be outta here, so my advice:
Give it a shot, but on a Friday or Saturday night when you don't have to 
be awake any time the next day.  Take four ounces of Maximum Strength Cough, 
and no more under any circumstances.  Be careful.  Don't do it too often.
Enjoy yourself; it's legal (though most people will think you're a nut if you
tell them you did it).

Later,
Paul
