In virginia, Codeine is legal to purchase without a prescription, as long as the amount of codeine per dosage unit is within the legal limits for non-prescription sales. If you don't believe me, go to page 92 at the webpage "http://www.dhp.virginia.gov/pharmacy/leg/Pharmacy%20Law%202007-8-23-07.doc" and there's a paragraph explaining the rules about all that. The problem is, I have back aches sometimes that get fairly acute, but I can't keep going to the Doc everytime it happens... that costs money, and money is tight right now, and ibuprofen/ acetiminophen/ naproxen/ etodolac... all those don't work.. i've been prescribed those already seeing how they're not narcotics or whatnot.... Knowing that codeine can be sold w/o a prescription, i've tried asking pharmacies if i can purchase some, they all told me no. How can I convince them without looking like someone who's just trying to abuse the codeine instead of using it for actual pain?
