for some people codiene may cause nausea, even if hydro doesn't. don't know why as chemical make-up is same. if this occurs, try a gravol with your dose. works wonders...

"he he i wish..i am a pharmacist."
Hey. How long you been at that particular occupation?
"take empty bottles xxx."
I'll just hide the pills in vitamin bottles. I always carry a bunch of vitamins when I travel anyway.
Thanks a lot.

Hydro and codeine are similar, but Hydro has an extra H group (obviously). What is gravol? Anything like guaif? Can I get that in Canada, too? (If codeine works, I think I'll just move to Canada.)

BTW, to make sure: is this stuff legal in all Canadian provinces? I'll be crossing from Detroit into Ontario.

no problem, that works too, i guess. i was a pharm assistant for 16 yrs. before going back to university. been a pharmacist for 4 yrs. now. may i ask what province you are close to? BC, ALTA and ONT are the easiest, although i wouldn't foresee any problems in any others either. i think Quebec asks your name and address, but not sure.

yes in all provinces...Ontario is no problem. i live and work in Ontario. Gravol is used for travel sickness (dramimine). sold OTC at any pharmacy...

What part of Ontario are you in? I live in central Indiana, about 150 miles from the border at Detroit.

if you are feeling nervous about obtaining meds so close to the border, then take an hour or so drive up to Toronto. can get lost in a sea of pharms there. nobody will give you any problem i assure you. could take a nice look around too. CN tower maybe?

In reply to Re: just one work of caution about nausea, posted by krazybirdlady on December 5, 2003, at 23:00:25
There are several places in that area; I'll probably go to a couple different towns. Maybe I'll be able to hit Toronto in time to get back home before dark.

I'll let you know how it goes. I'll be going as soon as tomorrow or as late as next weekend. This is a good bet.
Thanks for all the help.

One more thing: do they take U.S. dollars in Canada? Or will I have to change my money?

If male, the best place to hide things is xxx.

Man, that's silly. I've been in Candada twice across the Washington-BC border, and have never been searched. There's no reason that they WOULD search. Besides, I have far more ingenious ways of hiding the stuff.

change your money....wouldn't that just be a little too obvious??

> Man, that's silly.
Ah, get some clue. Some of us have been doing this
for decades, crossing many international borders,
to get our meds. You clearly have never done this,
I have for years.
I have had everything searched on the north and south US borders. I had my whole car taken apart on the south border. It is quite a different thing to
bring the scheduled meds vs. unscheduled.

I've never taken anything across borders, but I'm very adept at hiding things. Things are best hidden in plain sight. Besides, customs only tends to stop you if you look suspicious--which I don't, and won't. Thanks for the concern, but I won't be needing to hide anything xxx.

I've been considering hiding the stuff in several different ways--xxx. I'll declare one bottle at customs.

Why would it be obvious? I could appear just like any other Canadian--including the accent. Use UDS, and I'll defintely look like a foreigner.

sorry, that's what i meant. using USD would make your transaction too obvious to the pharmacists. even though it's perfectly legal to sell them to you, they might give you a word of caution if they think you are American. USD are not readily accepted in pharmacies, but some near the border may. CND is your safest and easiest bet.
