Yes, you can obtain codeine products with a prescription.
If you become adicted to it your consequence is rehab.. Their is no legal consequence for this abuse..
Codeine is a 'scheduled' drug (i.e.- you can only puy or possess it with a prescription). If you were not prsecribed this medication then you are in unlawful possession of a scheduled narcotic.
In certain countries, such as Canada, you can purchase Tylenol 1 (with 8 mg codeine) over the counter. However, codeine is not allowed in the United States without a prescription. To purchase, own, or take codeine products that were not prescribed to you by a doctor would be illegal in the United States, even if purchased elsewhere. However, if they were purchased with a proper prescription and taken as indicated, they are legal anywhere in the US, as long as they are only being taken by the person they were prescribed to.

Codeine is legal in all states, but not for over counter purchases. It is for a number of countries. Prescription is required to buy it. You can buy it in most every province in Canada but you have to ask the pharmacist for it. No prescription required although you have to show ID in Quebec.
According to the US Pharmacopeia, codeine in free base form is freely soluble in ethanol. However, codeine phosphate, common in many formulations including codeine, is only sparingly soluble in ethanol.

No, codeine and codeine phosphate are not the same. Codeine is an opiate used as a painkiller and cough suppressant, while codeine phosphate is a salt form of codeine that is commonly used in medications for pain relief and cough suppression. The addition of phosphate to codeine can affect its solubility and how it is metabolized in the body.

no Codeine is Narcotic
There is a medication manufactured in the UK, named Solpadeine Max. Solpadeine Max is an OTC (in the UK) medication containing 500 mg of Acetaminophen, plus 12.5 mg of Codeine Sulphate Hemihydrate. It is OTC in the UK, but in the US, medication containing Codeine requires a prescription. I have been unable to locate any comparable medication in the US.
