How much do you use per dose?
At 600mg a bottle id probably drink a whole one or maybe even two (though i technically have no tolerance i used to abuse such high doses i have high standard of what feeling high feels like). I suppose one bottle would be equivalent to 90mg MED (morphine equivalent dose) or so.
If these were available here they would probably haunt me a bit. Its funny, we can buy all kinds of firearms, but not a bottle of codeine syrup, no wonder why we are so violent.
I tend to use between 150-300mg depending on my mood, what other drugs I'm on, how high I'm tryna get, how functional I need to be, etc.
It's pretty crazy to me but even though I came off an oxy habit (dose anywhere between 160-320mg daily) a few months ago my tolerance is already so low I can easily get a nice warm high from codeine especially with benzos thrown in. Nothing like what I get from dihydrocodeine (that stuff is proper nice) but still, nice mild codeine high, feels happy and warm.
And yeah if the US treated codeine like you treat guns you'd be a lot more chill
I would have not a complaint in the world if I could walk to the corner store and buy a bottle of that ^ Unfortunately this is the US so my only choices are liquor from the store or heroin from the trap.
@Wilson Wilson What are the restrictions on codeine there? I imagine they don't let you buy every bottle in the store in one go.
You can only buy one bottle at a time and you need to be 18+.
It used to be much easier to get than it is now. Not long ago I'd pop into all the local pharmacies and come back with four bottles in a day.
Since the teens found out about it and started flexing it on social media because "look I'm drinking lean like the rappers!" it's become a lot harder to get.
I really hope once the hype dies down it becomes a regular OTC cough medicine again, this whole "lean" thing is after all just a fad, but who knows?
In my youth we used to buy Care Gees linctus. It was around £2 a bottle and contained opium tincture I believe at 0.083mg in 5ml,the bottle was 200ml.
I'm not sure if you can get it anymore. Too many people caught on. We used to get high as a kite drinking a bottle of that.
Gee's linctus sadly seems to be dead, not because of the opium necessarily, but because the other ingredients were mildly poisonous and the effects clashed with each other and it's not something that'd be approved in medicine today. Squill plant extract, for example, actually increased coughing and mucus. It was basically laudanum lite though, real cool stuff.
You can still get J Collis Browne's Mixture pretty easily though. Contains 1mg/1ml morphine which is 20mg morphine in the whole bottle but since they're tiny little 20ml bottles I would down 'em like a shot. Used to down a couple of those with my codeine linctus a few years ago, pharmacy down the road was happy to sell me multiple bottles of the stuff at a time.
Morphine and kaolin is another one, just wait for the morphine to separate in the bottle then use an oral syringe to get the morphine out since the morphine naturally separates and rises to the top. Still readily available OTC.
I'm honestly surprised the morphine containing medicines are still available OTC but there ya go. Of course trying to get high from tiny concentrations of morphine in cough syrup is much less efficient than buying totally legal "decorative" poppy heads and decorating your gob with their chopped up gooey insides.
The codeine linctus is pretty worth it, assuming you have a low enough opiate tolerance to enjoy codeine, because it actually is a very reasonable concentration. At 15mg/5ml it's actually stronger than the US prescription codeine syrup which is 10mg/5ml.
