A lot of cough syrups also have dextromethorpan hydrobromide, a cough supressant that when taken in large doses, along the order of a bottle or two of syrup, results in a significant hallucinatory and disassociative episode, on par with most illegal hallucinogens. This is definately also a factor in these experiences.

[edit] The purplish hue....

The purplish hue has nothing to do with codeine. The cough syrup has dyes added to it to make it distinct from other syrups.
