codeine is a scheduled drug. In order to recieve this drug one of these scenarios must occur.
1. You have a script
2. You could illegally obtain the drug
3. You could call around and see if a mom and pop pharmacy will sell you it. Most big chains I have heard will not sell you it non scripted however some mom and pop pharmacies might. In order to recieve the drug however you must be coughing at the time of purchase and you must have tried 2 other cough supressents. They will talk to you and attempt to see if you are looking to the drug for recreational use or therapeutic and will see if you need it or not.
It is a process to get it whether it be for recreational or therapeutic use. Just be aware that recreational and therapeutic use of this may cause addiction and may cause you to lose the life you now know so please be careful and use this with caution.
