Joel Brighton came down with the flu earlier this week, his skin has been crawling, his bones aching, but no matter what remedies he takes, he just can’t seem to feel better. That was until his dodgy mate Brayden came over to watch the footy, bringing with him some of the ‘good’ Codral.

“Mate, no wonder you’re still feeling like shit”

“The cold and flu tablets you’re taking are basically placebo, you’ve gotta get the good shit”

“What’s the good shit?” rightly questioned a feverish Joel.

“You gotta get on the pseudo shit man, that’s where it’s at” said Brayden.

Brayden is referring to the Codral that’s sold behind the counter, the one that resourceful cooks started using to make crystal meth due to the pseudoephedrine and ephedrine present in the tablets.

“Yeah, you gotta give over your license, haha”

“It’s good but.” Assured Brayden.

Back in 2007 the health minister had serious concerns around the use of cold & flu products being used in the manufacturing of methamphetamines, after a number of drug raids found meth labs filled with empty packets of flu remedies.

While the cooks could have just been suffering from the flu themselves, it seems unlikely.

At the time of press, Joel had just ingested two of the ‘good’ Codral, we’ll check back in about 20 minutes to see if they’re making a noticeable difference.

More to come.
