Thread Name: Lyr Add: Cod'ine [Codeine] (Buffy Sainte-Marie)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Codeine

I first heard this song in the 60's, and thought "what's this song about then" my mum used to give me codeine when I was a kid and there was no big deal.Now I'm thinking maybe it was used to represent some other drug (cocaine?)Or is codeine stronger in the US ?
