I WISH USA WOULD HAVE TYLENOL 3'S OTC my life would be so much better, in fact I bet I wouldn't be an addict chasing oxy if I could go to the store and pick up a few 30mg codeine tabs. I envy European countries and whoever else that has this luxury!
I don't think you can buy otc 30mg codeine pills etc in any country, they are usually like 8 to 12mg. Extract enough of them though and you are good to go.
While it would be cool if even those low dose codeine pills were available otc here in the US, I am also a little glad they aren't because they'd be calling my name.
Australia used to have OTC codeine, which was one of my favorite things about Australia. I once did a large scale cold water extraction using hundreds of pills, fully out in the open while on a plane from Australia back to the US. People stared at me as I was grinding up the pills, mixing them with ice water, and filtered it through coffee filters (both supplied by the flight attendant...."hi, can you bring some more ice and a few coffee filters please

But I believe recently otc codeine has been banned in Australia.
