Even some society women are not left out of this scourge. Drinking syrup like water. So, codeine abuse isn't gender, tribe, religion, or age sensitive. The appropriate agency needs to step up its game to stop this deadly hydra headed scourge. 8 Likes 1 Share |

It's an issue of drug abuse and not the drug itself. Drug abuse is everywhere and people are not learning from its danger. Sometimes when NBC ban a song I just see them as trying to be relevant again, that stupid song that praised codeine is still playing on our airwaves. Do they know the influence of songs like this on the youths? 6 Likes 1 Share |

Mariangeles: Codeine is similar to cocaine. They both give "high" and are both addictive. So people buy the cough syrup with codeine to get high 3 Likes |
