Codeine makes me into a zombie.
Some daft pharmacist refused to fill the ibuprofen* script the doctor had given me, gave me a box of codeine, instead**. I was swiftly rendered worse than useless.
*not sure why the doc felt the need to prescribe ibuprofen, when buying some would have been considerably easier
**last time I let my mum pick up a prescription for me

Yeah, I know what they're for.
It wasn't a pleasant experience, although it did get rid of the pain in my shoulder (temporarily).
Pretty sure there are laws against pharmacists giving them out on their own say so.

I wouldn't advocate for a war on drugs,
but the odd skirmish wouldn't be out of the question.
