Opiates are very good cough suppressants in and of themselves. Dextromethorphan, which is the "DM" in most cough medicines is a chemical relative, and gets people high if taken in enough quantity. (I know somebody who had to go to a residential rehab facility to get off Robitussin -- he was drinking 8 bottles a day.)
