I read that Canada has drugs that you can buy over the counter which you would need a prescription for in the United States. I tried doing a little googling but didn't find a definitive list.
Any Canadians on here that happen to know?

I'm not sure but I believe the pharmacist has a bit of discretion. For instance 8mg codeine pills are technically over the counter but you have to ask the pharmacist (who makes the decision to dispense it or not).

I think pharmacist is one of the few professions where it's okay to lie to the customer: "No, we don't have that product!" (while they do).
 
that I know of, codeine and methocarbamol. Codeine is easy to get as long as you aren't dressed like a hobo or have opioid maintenance in your medical history ( Like I do). But the better question is why? 8mg of codeine is so worthless. and you cant separate it from the 15mg of caffeine which totally ruins the experience.
