Title: OTC Cough Syrup From China Recalled: Has MORPHINE In It (Fuck, I Missed It!)
Post by: Morfy on January 23, 2016, 10:46:27 AM

Well Great,


Some over the counter, licorice-flavored cough syrup from China was pulled from the market, it was found to contain....MORPHINE.


Fuck me.  I wish I had know about this before it was pulled from the shelves--and the internet (yes, I checked before posting this).


Oh well, you never know with Chinese products.....There's probably Heroin in that Jasmine Soap from China, so I guess the take-home message is: start shooting up everything you have that was made in China!

Yeah, it seems like it all has either heroin or melamine in it.  That's a roll of the dice that sounds like a chance worth taking.


Do you remember when the company that made Opana recalled a bunch of OTC meds because their packaging equipment had made an error and put Opana into Tylenol bottles and other products of the sort?  That is a bottle of tylenol I would buy any day.  If I opened it and found it full of Opana I would have gone back and bought out their stock of that type.  I would have driven to every store in North America and bought their stock.  Dreamy shit right there man!


This event right here:

I'll take 2 pallets!

I'm just happy to live in a state where codeine can be OTC. I bought a bottle of Cheratussin AC last week for my mom over the counter. (it has codeine in it).

What's the A in the AC stand for?

No, the "AC" cough syrups, the most famous being Robitussin AC, all contain a standard formulation of codeine and guaifenesin (an expectorant). Don't know what the "A" stands for, except maybe the "C" isn't for codeine and it's "anti-cough?" Maybe?

I used to buy a bottle of Guaiatuss AC every 2 days from an all night CVS in Richmond when I was in school there. The law says you can only buy 250mg of a codeine-containing product every 48 hours, and this one old pharmacist would let me buy it every 2 days from him, while he was working the graveyard shift.

Shit would give me a slight high (probably wouldn't even notice it now, except if I was sick), but they sweeten it with sorbitol, and as you all know that's a pretty good laxative. So, codeine buzz and Hershey squirts - I'll pass on it today.

Every time I've tried they said either they don't sell it or "its prescription only"

China creeps me the fuck out. I've sen here and other places that they have initiated a new FaceBoook -like program that monitors your posts, spending , saving and reading (etc) habits to give you a "citizen score" not unlike athe crredit scores that we have here. "Good" citizens (those who folllow the party line most get high scores, independent  typs get low scores. Not only that, your 'friends' scores affect your score so you could be an "A-1  good citizen" but if your friends aren't they drag your score down.

It is voluntary now but participation will be mandatory by 2020 IIRC.

I've also read that people are drug tested by the governement completely at random. They will lock up a bar or club or pick people off the street at random and give them all UAs.  People who test positive w/o a doctor's note go to jail. This happened not too long ago when it was found a resteraunt was grinding poppy pods into its meals to encourage repeat customers. Some were tested and even thouguh they had no idea there were opiates in their food they went to jail.

China. One place Ihave no interest in visiting.

Yeah, China is strange, like North Korea Light.


Talk to any Chinese here in the US about Tienanmen Square, and they're like: "Yes, it is a tourist attraction in Beijing." They have no idea about what happened there a decade ago.  Even GOOGLE (syccophants) have a special deal with China, they filter certain results in order to be open to Chinese.


That and the lack of an FDA equivalent: let's just shove melamine in Baby Formula and Heparin to boost the apparent protein levels--who cares if it kills patients, we made our profit!!


Yeah, when you look at China, you wonder what is being hidden from us in our respective countries.

Damn. I live in China. I should see if I can find this on the domestic market.
