DISPENSARY CORNER 12 Jan 16
January 12, 2016
AN INTENSE and brutally honest
song released by Australian hip
hop artist 360 has ignited calls
for stricter regulation on the
sale of over the counter codeine
products.
The Melbourne rapper whose
real name is Matthew Colwell
shared the song across social
media on the weekend.
The personal lyrics explain how
his codeine addiction nearly killed
him and led to the last 13 of his
shows being cancelled last year.
“I was a zombie, I couldn’t feel
nothing. I smashed four packets
because I just wanted to feel
something,” he tells listeners.
“Yo, I overdosed for sure, I
was at the venue, I was going to
perform, I can’t remember, see
I was told in a report my tour
manager found me convulsing on
the floor”.
360 describes how easy it can be
to sustain a codeine
addiction with the drugs so
unregulated.
