Poll: Do you think codeine-containing products should be taken off shelves?

Rhonwyn Newson Reporter from North Harbour News

Codeine-containing products may become harder to obtain after the Waitemata District Health Board voted to make it a prescription-only medicine, despite it being opposed by pharmacists.

A report by the Community Alcohol and Drug Services (CADS) was submitted to the district health board's meeting on July 5.

It wanted the DHB to call "for a national approach for tighter controls on the availability of codeine to reduce the harm related to codeine-abuse".

Yes I am all of the above, please can anyone suggest recommend someplace I can go ( but not the glue factory yet) for some way of easing up years of building work so I can move more easily, think stretching exercise type stuff.
I live in Mairangi Bay, more than happy to do one to one ☝️ just need to sort it. Ideally not too far away.
Thank you
