Seems it legal to buy prescription drugs from Canada and have them mailed to the US.

What I want is over the counter pain meds called AC&C.

Anyone wanna help me out ?? ;)

There are lots of Canadian pharmacies that ship OTC drugs to the US. A quick google search yielded tons, but the first few I checked didn't carry AC&C. It's a codeine derivative, right? Do you know the generic name?

Hmm...I have a feeling you won't be able to get these in the US. I just googled AC&C and codeine and the first few hits were from heroin sites about how to extract codeine from the pills.

Anyways, here's a link with all the relevant info on the drug...it may help you find a place that sells it:

And no I don't wanna extract ANYTHING.

I have to take 4 of anything over the counter (Advil etc.) just to get any effect, and I know it's wrecking my liver. :(

Since this happend at work, I suppose I could try workmans comp.

Still it bugs the hell out of me that you can't get anything worth a damn here in the US without spending a ton of cash to first go to the Dr. and then pay HIGH prices for stuff you can get for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. :disgust:

You're looking for some Tylenol 1s eh? Had I thought about it I would have picked up a bottle when I was in the great white north but it completely slipped my mind.
In case you are wondering AC&C stands for Acetaminophen Codeine and Caffeine

No. They're Tylenol 3s by the sounds of it.

There are 4 varieties of tylenol that contain codeine, starting with 1 going to 4. 1s have a small amount of codeine(8mg maybe?), acetaminophen and a large amount of caffeine and as the number goes up the amount of codeine increases and the amount of caffeine decreases with tylenol 4s having something like 80mg of codeine and no caffeine. Tylenol 1s are the only codeine containing tylenols that are sold OTC in Canada(atleast they used to be, even they might be perscription now) the reasoning is that you would OD on the acetaminophen long before you could recreationaly use the codeine but it's possible to extract the acetaminophen using hot and cold water leaving your liver intact and your brain happy.
