They really downsize the dose, if you take 4x the amount it works better.
When I was in school I turned a bunch of Lignum Vitae on the lathe (that's where guaifenesin comes from - Lignum Vitae, not lathes) and after breathing in a few lungfulls of that dust I can say it works quite well as an inhalant. The syrup even at LD50 doses is only moderately effective in comparison to the fresh dust.

Interesting side note: Apart from Natalie, Lignum Vitae is one of the few woods that does not float.
