Codeine tolerance 500-520mg. Anything below 500 does very little, anything above I get a ridiculous histamine release. Hence why I'm trying other things. Bought 3 bottles of collis brownes last week (£18!) and felt nought but a mild buzz. I put it down to BA as the dose is about right. But yeah... Fuck plugging 3 bottles, was more out of curiosity really.
I absolutely pissed myself at that. You should point that out to the pharmacist the next time you buy linctus :D.
Maybe it was just too subtle for you?
Also, Morphine (which will have been the major Opiate constitute of the Gee's) isn't too great when it comes to taking it orally. It's IVing is where it's at apparently (due to Bio-Availability).
As for feeling sick, as well as the Opiates, the shit-load of sugar and other added things in there will have contributed to that.
DHC cus it has no ceiling..... and less itch than codeine.
