   The APAP in there will kill you after about 1/5 of a bottle, so.

   Like I said, the codeine can be extracted.

   It can but it shouldn't have to be. They should extract it from their own shitty pills and not sell trash that kills people.
   Why do I have to be the one to make the drugs not lethal?

   If you're smart enough to extract it, chances are you're smart enough not to accidentally overdose.
   Most arguments in this thread relate to how drugs are sold OTC.

   I'm simply pointing out they sell codeine OTC, even though it leads to millions of fatal overdoses.

   Maybe if they didn't sell it in 8mg trash formulations people wouldn't die from it
   The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

   Even if you don't die from apap od you usually suffer liver damage. Its also a slow and painful death. Id MUCH rather die from codeine.

    Another way they increase profits of OTC codeine is they jack the price up to about $30 for a single bottle, under the gimmick that they're trying to prevent abuse.

    And no - these OTC medications should not be banned.
    The actual drugs which these OTC medications attempt to mimic should be available to the public.
    Every single one of these drugs are more dangerous than the actual drug which effects' its trying to mimic.
    
    Diarrhea pills- they probably would've died without the pills too?
    paracetamol- legalize OTC codeine, which actually works for pain. Also you're not going to die from taking popping a handful codeine only pills.
    Triple C's - legalize LSD. Teenagers getting fucked up on robo is just sad.
    Visine- We used this in highschool to conceal our high.
    Benadryls- legalize ketamine
    Synthetic aspirins- Really? Remove the drug found in all first aid kids from being sold OTC?
    Anti-anti-diarrhea potions- diarrhea is deadly, should be treated in hospital
    Omeprazole- do people use this recreationally?
    SudoEphedrine- again legalize dexedrine
    Benzedrex- dexedrine should be available OTC for obesity, depression, and loss of attention. Market it the same way as redbull. Have lots of extreme sports sponsors advertising their latest dexedrine infused drink. Get amped!
    Plan B - Sure I concur, killing babies is much more fun after they're born
    Virtussin- is this OTC in the US?

    
    Pretty much this, only let us just do the basic forms. Let us do cocaine, let us do opium, et cetera.

    I thought i had vicoprofens but they were actually vicodins so I injested
    
    3.25g apap day 1 over like 1 hour
    2.275g day 2 over 1 hour
    2.6g over 8 hours
    
    
    I read that severe liver damage starts at 7.5-10g and death occurs at 10g-15g
    
    I might buy some NAC but should be ok
    
    I don't think it causes much problems until you actually get to around 7g though, it's like an overload type thing where once it overloads the thing that gets released is super duper toxic but as lkng as there's no spillover you're ok usually
    
    Idk, nothing hurts, no jaundice, the live is a very self healing organ
    
    You could just keep NAC on hand when eating vicodins because when you take the antidote NAC which is sold at vitamin stores its able to reverse almost 100% of overdoses

    Yeah when I cut myself so bad I needed 30 stitches I bought a 200 count bottle of codeine and a handle of vodka and chugged it all in one day because I was trying to kill myself
    
    I woke up the next day with a lot of stomach pain but the next day I was fine.
    
    Dying is hard.
