I'm not talking from a pharmacological view, I think you're basing your views and learned knowledge on pharmacology against my views that people shouldn't be shooting up heroin in public parks and crackheads doing all sorts of things in burnt out houses, infecting themselves and others.

Pharmacologically, by prescription, and cautious and judicious usage of any part of papaver somniferum and sythetics, is completely different. I think I've expressed in my previous views the difference between legitimate use, diversion, and people who cook up dirty batches of heroin and methamphetamine (especially the latter) and blow up houses in the midwest here.

I don't think I said it has anything to do with OTC codeine, you must be reading from an earlier message. I don't consider the amount of codeine given in OTC codeine a hard drug, though it is still converted to morphine in the body. I consider diversion of it what led to its expulsion from pharmacies here. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to "feel good" like you have to admit you have done on occasion, but it would be considered diversion here if we still had legal laws that allowed its use for cough purposes only. I think that's why you're asking me.
