Other - possible otc codeine ban in australia

[Deliciously_Saucy]

i've spoken to my family gp - a very open man who's known me my entire life and someone i trust - informed me that they're currently discussing the banning of over the counter codeine medication. if the ban passes prescription codeine (like panadeine forte) will still be available (with a prescription of course) but heavily watched.

has anyone else heard anything about this? i assume that the drug companies will be heavily fighting this due to sales loss, but this has me rather concerned.

swim is currently growing opium poppies but swim doesn't think this is very practical as she uses codeine every-fucking-day and even in low doses opium would probably not be in her best interest.

sorry if this has been posted before~
