I'm not sure if it's exactly the same thing, but over in England Dihydrocodeine (not codone - I never heard of dihydrocodone but who knows?) is available Over the counter without prescription. It's just slightly improved codeine; I found it closer to codeine than hydrocodone. One brand name is Contugesic - it's quite inexpensive over there. In the US, the only thing I know of they put it in is a pill called Synalgos DC - the "DC" stands for dihydrocodeine. Synalgos also has aspirin in it too, I think. If you have a PDR handy it's in there.
