you wont die from 24 pills even if its your first time unless you are unusually sensetive to it...I did 24 my first time and I got sick but other than that I was fine, my homey I did it with only took 8 and he said he didnt really feel anything, and I just felt like super drunk and like my head was on fire...oh and by the way I am pretty skinny...ccc's have about 30 mg of dxm, according to erowid 2500mg is getting on the dangerous side thats like 83 pills...I saw a guy on his second time do like 40, didnt even get sick, hes a lot bigger than me though
