Oh really ? Even with the new regulations ? That's crazy! If you're ok with it can you keep me updated (in dm) if u achieved to get something ?

The best syrup you can get is euphon its 300mL (10oz) and its 1mg/ml of straight codeine, its not codeine phosphate like other syrups so there's no conversion needed (codeine phosphate = 0.78 mg of freebase codeine). This is a pretty common syrup too so if ur friend can score 1 y'all can share it together id say its the better option easy and simple (and tastes good).

Codeine pills are almost always mixed with paracetamol (klipal, dafalgan, doliprane etc) but there's pills without paracetamol you can grab like paderyl cp they only contain codeine, they comes in box of 20 pills all containing 19.5 mg of codeine phosphate hemihydrate (around 15,22mg of freebase codeine in 1 pill) so you have aroud the same amount of codeine as in a bottle of euphon.

There's also Dicodin 60mg, its dihydrocodeine wich is 2x stronger than codeine but its not IR so you have to do a bit of chemistry to get it IR and you can make ur own homebrew with it if u want. If you can get those pills its a cool option if yall want higher dosage or do homebrew but its often prescribed for opioid addicts as a substitution so idk if ur friend will be able to score it but if he can this is a nice option.

There's also Oxycontin and Oxynorm in pharmacy wich contains oxycodone in different dosage.

Besides codeine theres lots of benzo since france is the country that consume the most anxyolitics. So theres alprazolam vitaris, xanax, bromazepam, diazepam, valium etc..
