Have you ever been out of the country?

Did you know that codeine is over the counter in Canada (it is legal to bring back 50 tablets per person into The States).
They also have OTC muscle relaxers (and Claritin), but I'm not aware of the laws about bringing either of those back across.

Just go to any pharmacy and ask for a 50-tablet bottle of acetaminophen with codeine. The law used to be 600 tabs per person. My wife and I went across one time with 1200 tablets. (After they had changed the law) They made us take them back to get our money back (or forfeit it to customs). Bummer!

Since we wiped out the first pharmacy of all it's 200 tablet bottles, we had to go to another store to get the rest. The second store was closed by the time we got back, so we put the rest of the codeine in a hiding spot and took a different route across the boarder. Everything went just fine.

BTW, the OTC codeine from Canada would be considered a Tylenol #1 in the states (it goes from 1-5 I think). Not as strong as prescription Tylenol 3, but it still works.

I don't know how old you are, but the legal drinking age is Canada is 19.

It's different to realize that you're a foreigner for the first time in your life. Have fun in Canada.
