The kids are definitely not alright.
Our schoolchildren are far from the only youngsters who have taken a liking to mixing and matching drinks with codeine in them, but the extent of our usage is cause for concern.
I’m sure many of us have had an extra helping or two of cough medicine now and again, but up in Zim it’s turned into a full-scale epidemic.
If you find yourself needing more and more cough syrup to set you straight, you might be addicted to codeine. You wouldn’t be the only one, either.
