Codeine by itself is a drug of addiction but I am assuming you mean mixed with paracetamol or aspirin.
You should be able to get the 8mg version in an apotik or Gaurdian in Bali but you would be extremely unlikely to get the 30mg version without doctor's help.
In general Balinese people do not take western drug painkillers to the extent westerners do...even an 8mg codeine mix tablet most would be taking a lie down...one panadol is usually enough for them therefore anyone looking for strong stuff is...well, suspicious so best to BYO.
