I wish the American pseudoephedrine industry would step up to the plate...

[htuttle]

...and make pseudoephedrine as easy to buy as rifles and ammunition.

It's the only thing that helps my allergies in the springtime.

1. Yeah, really. nt

2. Unfortunately, it's the basis for Meth.

All the other ingredients needed to cook up a batch of crystal meth are fairly common chemicals. One is lye, and it's been pulled from store shelves. Very useful stuff for stripping paint, but I have to use other things now.

3. I suppose they're worried that I might synthesize some methamphetimine in my kitchen laboratory...

...that might end up hurting someone if they smoke it. Voluntarily (more or less...).

10. If it'd stop those who produce huge amounts, I'd support it,but they use other chemicals

This slows down neighborhood and van meth kitchens, but the big producers just laugh as they profit.

4. I thought you were going to talk about meth labs and gun violence!

Silly me

5. That was the absolute best thing for when I had a continuously runny nose.

I would have a runny nose, the running would drip down and get into my lungs and once it moved into my chest it was a bad scene. I would get this every year, sometimes a few times a year. I hate meth so much (it ravaged my town) but I hate it just that much more because I can't fucking walk down to the store and just pick up some sudafed.

7. Did you get allergy shots?

It sounds like you don't have that problem anymore. Just curious.

6. And it's getting worse with global warming.

Anyway Target sells a generic called Sudefrin that's a lot cheaper and the stores near me are usually quick and painless about the license business. Sometimes there's a line, and they close the pharmacy early, but much better than Wally world.

8. I know, I KNOW! I try to remember to buy it regularly so I'll have it on hand

when I need it.

It's ridiculous.

9. The meth problem is worse in the US now

Than before they restricted it so badly. Very cheap vats of liquid PS comes in from Mexico. Making us go through that song and dance at the pharmacy counter has actually made meth worse,

11. You can still buy it. Just have to ask the pharmacist.

It's inconvenient, but no big deal.
