Re: Re: Re: OT--Health Care

Yeah, the druggies would buy as many bottles as they could get and somehow
extract the codeine.  Consequently it becaume a restricted medicine.  Not a
prescription, but you had to ask for it and sign for it, one bottle at a
time.  Since it was no longer on the shelf, requests waned and it was
eventually discontinued.  As bad tasting as it was, it really worked like a
charm.
