Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all buy Paregoric OTC? There used to be a codeine syrup you only had to sign for in the ;80's---I forget what it was called.

I'd like to go back to the days when your local apothecary just handed the laudanum over with a wink and a smile.

Coda-Clear! I believe that was the syrup's name.
