I think some of you may have mistaken what I am asking. I am NOT asking for Tylenol 3s. I understand that you need a Rx for tylenol 3's. I know what you need a Rx for, and these are not among those. However, what I am asking for, is a general tylenol with a small amount of codeine added, that is sold OTC in Canada, and you ARE ALLOWED to bring back over the border into the USA, but you are only allowed 100 pills per person. So in theory, if I am allowed to have 100 pills travel across legally with me, I should be able to order 100 pills right? These pills are sold in any and all drug stores in Canada, even WalMart. They are just like Tylenol to us here, except have a small dosage of codeine added. I am not able to GO to Canada because I live far from the border, so I am curious how to get my legal 100 pills sent via mail. Thanks to those of you who have helped. I just want to reassure these are NOT tylenol 3s... even in Canada you need you need an Rx for tylenol 3s.

Not sure how you plan to do this as codiene is not legal here in the USA without a direct script for it. If you get caught with codiene and no legal prescription for it I would think you might get fined.

nope it won't work...because sending narcotics (that is what the DEA would say) through the mail is illegal in the US without a license...you would in fact be involved in trafficking narcotics...that is because you can't buy ANY codeine over the counter here in the US.
Years ago, you could go into a pharmacy and buy ETHC that was a cough mixture with a small amount of codeine in it, but because of the abuse factor...it was stopped...
you may find someone to mail it to you, but I would not chance it because some of the mail coming from out of the country (Canada is out of the country) is scanned by drug sniffing dogs, and it may be your package that they follow...not a good choice..it may be cheaper in the long run for you to get a hotel in Detroit and drive the bridge or tunnel over 4-5 times in a few days and stock up....then...
good luck
