Ah yes I do remember terpin hydrate with codeine, aka..GI Gin. Talk about a cheap drunk! When I was young, in the 50’s, my doctor would prescribe it.
“When I was young, in the 50’s, my doctor would prescribe it.”
Back in those days, and much later, an adult could walk into a drug store and just sign for it. No prescription required. And that’s the way it should still be! Nowdays, if I have a chest cold, I have to pay $80 for a Doc appt., and he’ll not be able to really do anything for the chest cold, but write a script for cough medicine with hydrocodone in it. And I can’t take that stuff. Manufacturers seem to always put some kinda “non-drowsy” stuff in there, and I’m hyper-sensitive to that cr@p! If the old medicines make me drowsy? Fine! I’m sick, and I’ll take a nap!
