I mean they put only 8-15mg in headache tablets but I can drink 400mg of sthe stuff & barely feel anything. do u think it's a flor in cwe?

I get out of the cwe the same amount of water I put in it & i make sure its all stired up. maybe a 2nd wash would get more.

it would be good if it were possible to see actually what percent of codeine out of the cwe we're actually getting.

I just don't get whuy they bother putting 8mg in a headache pill. they sell beer & cigarettes which are way stronger yet the poor ppl who dont know how to get codeine outta tablets get a mesely 8mg ina a tablet. is that even enough to go anything?

it would be good is codeine were just legal I mean it has a ceiling dose so u cant get a serious addiction to it. I heard dhc is legal by itself & valium to in some parts of china or soemthing.
 
Small doses of codeine are effective as a cough reliever. In addition the presence of caffeine and acetaminophen in many preparations works to provide more effective pain control than e.g. only codeine or only APAP. You don't always need huge doses for pain relief, esp. for minor aches and pains.

Codeine can produce tolerance, addiction and physical dependency just like any other opiate. Don't knock it. Most naive users would feel pretty good off of 90 to 150mg codeine - you must be tolerant to opiates.
 
I used to not get much off codeine at all except a horrible histamine reaction. I think it's because it was the first opiate I tried, and I wasn't too sure what to expect.. dunno. I have grown to appreciate it a lot more, despite having a decent oxy tolerance. It's got a rushy feel to it for me, the first 45 mins is the best, then it fades away to subtle opiated-ness.. if you are mixing well-crushed tablets in the water, and getting the same amount of water out, I don't see how you can be getting a poor yield from your CWE. Take a look at the link in my sig for CWE advice :)

8mg of codeine has analgesic effects. That's the key there - you want to get high off it, others just want it to help their pain.. 30/500 seems more reasonable I admit, but I know people who get enough analgesia from 2 x 8/500s 4 times a day.

I have no idea what is legal in certain parts of China I have to say so I can't comment on that, haha..

As far as codeine goes, as Sekio said it is possible to become dependent on codeine just like any other opiate. It is still not wise to start using it daily, you will end up becoming physically dependent.

I'm not really sure what the question is in this thread - codeine is what it is.. I'm going to close it, but if you had a more specific question in mind that has not been answered then feel free to shoot me a pm :)
