Did all of us take opium as a kid?

[shastarSingh]

All of us as kids must hv used COREX SYRUP for cough.

This SYRUP contains codeine(opium).

Some cough syrups contain opium and alcohol too.

In addition, over-the-counter cough medicines typically contain some amount of alcohol. For instance, Vicks Formula 44 contains 10 percent alcohol (20 proof) and various forms of Robitussin are 3.5-20 percent alcohol. Nyquil contains 25 percent alcohol.

I haven't but if someone has they should do ardas and if their concience is still bothering them, maybe go to their panj. I don't think there would be a need for pesh if done accidentally...

No, never heard of it in the UK but I know some (adults) take codeine linctus for cough

Children would not have something with opiate in it, at least here  in UK

Bro, why the unending propaganda about drugs? If you want to be a druggie, then go ahead, but why do you try to shoehorn it into Sikh practices for the average person? You must realise a quom of intoxicated individuals is something that's untenable and incredibly dangerous. If it wasn't such a tenuous proposition to your mind, you wouldn't be constantly trying to convince yourself it's some forgotten practice we need to reclaim and reintroduce.

dear veer

I am against nashaa.

but only tobacco is bajjar kurehit.

cannabis, opium and alcohol hv medicinal properties which can be used.

sorry if I offended u

[intrigued]

Bajjar kurehit means imo that you need to be extra vigilant of it. Tobacco is also used in ayurvedic medicine. Does that mean it is ok to take knowingly? NO and it's NOT OK to take any other intoxicants knowingly as medicine. That's my point. just because its not a bajjar kurehit doesn't mean there should be any leniency.
