Codeine and caffeine make a good combination

You aren't supposed to mix uppers and downers, but in my opinion caffeine and codeine are made for each other. The caffeine blocks the drowsiness from the codeine and the codeine blocks the anxiety from caffeine.

I still can't believe codeine is legal. I've heard all this bad shit about heroin my whole life from the media, and obviously codeine isn't nearly as strong as heroin, but it's still a pretty good opiate high if you take enough of it. And it's free for anyone to pick up on the shelves. I have the feeling that this can't last.

Codeine is really cheap too. $10 for 1 gram, although the price varies depending on where you go.  The big pharmacies are cheaper, although it depends on whether they have the generic stocked or not. I don't know why anyone would buy the brand version, which is twice as expensive. A good hit is about 250mg, so that's about $2.50, and lasts a couple of hours. I can get high all day and still spend more on food.


People have criticized me for not using illegal drugs, and I know I could probably pick up some heroin pretty easily in Cabramatta, but I think codeine is still a good deal and so far it's good enough for me. Perhaps once I develop tolerance I'll hit the hard stuff but so far I'm doing fine.

My one concern is whether I'm filtering the APAP correctly, but my product is clear and all the data I've read seems to agree that APAP is not very soluble in water. Anyway, my liver seems to functioning fine and I'm sure the danger of APAP is mainly to old people and alcoholics who already have a weakened liver.

Also, my obligatory Israel Sucks news: US boosts Israel aid by half a billion. A reward for killing so many Arabs in Lebanon.

Israel is apparently such a successful independent nation that it needs constant infusions of cash from the US taxpayer to stay solvent. How does it feel, US taxpayer, to prop up the world's last remaining ethnostate with your hard-earned cash?

Codein is legal in NSW? (3.00 / 3) (#2)

It is of course controlled in the US, like everything else. Years ago I had a persistent cough and needed codeine cough syrup to put it down so I could sleep. One bottle of Robitussin (you'd have to drink the whole thing to maybe get a buzz) cost almost $140 between the doctor's fee, the prescription itself, and the controlled substance paperwork fee.

If you're worried about the APAP and your liver, consider taking NAC. It's an antioxidant available in many health shops, and also happens to be used to treat APAP overdose.
