        This is how American medicine is treated here in Sweden.

        Got really sick when I visited the states, and my friend gave me some NyQuil and DayQuil. Holy fuck me in the ass, it was amazing. I completely crashed when I reached Heathrow, but it took me from being a feverish, snivelly mess, to feeling completely normal.

        Here in Sweden we at most take ibuprofen/acetaminophen. If you’re burning up it’ll take the edge off, but you’re not going to be feeling good.

        Man I want some of those Ami drugs.

          American who lives in Denmark:

          First time I got sick and went to our pharmacy and was like “how do I get NyQuil?” I got basically laughed at. Miserable experience.

          Now we take some NyQuil back when we can lol

            I’m in the same boat as you- I brought 2 bottles of dayquil back last time. Same with melatonin, I don’t typically use it but sometimes I need that stuff. I can only survive on strepsil and ibuprofen for so long.

            The active ingredients used to be okay here in Sweden some ~25 years ago, but teens would abuse them, and our government is extremely anti-drugs. It’s literally the one thing all parties agree on.

            I’d also bring some home. It’s great stuff. ww

        These were wealthy brats. Neither heroine nor cocaine were enough for them by around age 6, only Sugar could really get them to party.
