Codeine is a narcotic, and requires a prescription from the DR.You can not buy this over the counter.

not on its own. You can buy co-codamol tablets at any pharmacy which contain both paracetamol and codeine.

Not any counters in the US, but (I've heard) most "counters" in Mexico can fix ya up!

Just go in to your chemist and ask for it over the counter - oh yeah, pick me up some cocaine while your there! Thanks.

No, and for good reason...if it was, it would be taken advantage of and people who actually need it for pain would never get it.
