Thank you everyone that has helped so far! ^^
ok, now knowing this, what would i have to say to obtain Codeine from a doctor? (without being sick)

I have been told that some states allow the sale of codeine O.T.C to an adult (18 or over) with proof of ID and a signature. However, I don't know if this is true. When I was a kid (I'm 52), there were lots of OTC cough syrups with codeine (Vicks cough syrup was the bane of my existence...!) as well as opiates; paragoric, an opiate, was in every mom's cupboard to help with teething pains, for instance.
To find out what is available (if anything) contact a pharmacist.

Ha Ha, no, and this is why. They used to sell codeine tablets and cough syrup that you had to sign a controlled substance ledger for. That was stopped in the middle 1980`s because of the abuse.

You won't find one. Codeine is a narcotic pain reliever and can only be obtained with a prescription.

ibprophen or if you are willing you can go to a doc and ask for tylenol w\ condeine and since codeine is a bowel stimulant you could just get some mineral oil if you wish.

Sorry Charlie unless you go to Canada there are no over the counter codine meds. Canada has an over the counter tyelenol 2.
