Codeine is a fucking lovely drug, and really is the main drug that sparked my current interest in opiates/opioids. Despite the fact I had used panadeine fortes (basically T3's with no caffeine,) OxyContin and heroin prior to my highish dose codeine CWE (8-15mg codeine with ibuprofen or paracetamol/APAP are otc here) experiences opiates were not high on my pecking order of drugs until I started CWE. For some reason I didn't really get the euphoria until I was using 300mg+ of codeine but since then I have picked up the taste for all opies. I can honestly say the best nods of my life were on codeine and when my tolerance initially started to spike tramadol+codeine. Have had many blissful nods on oxycodone, heroin and morphine since but none of them rival that honeymoon period with codeine. When it was actually possible to nod off it I can say without a doubt it was my #1 drug and still would be if I could nod again. Unfortunately several month breaks off all opiates don't reduce my tolerance to the point I can nod off even a ceiling dose plus numerous potentiators.
