Can't get your sinus pills before 30 days and an ID? Its the Patriot Act

The Pseudoephedrine rules. Republicans of course.

The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 (Title VII of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005, P.L. 109-177) was signed into law March 9, 2006. All changes go into effect on March 9, 2006, (date the legislation was signed) unless a later effective date is specifically stated. This document discusses those changes made by the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act which primarily affect persons selling products containing the List I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine.

been a problem for some time. Sudafed substitutes are available, but a 30 day supply of Sudafed should be easily available, has been for me.

Of course, I'm not cooking meth, so I've never needed a lot of it.

I just need it for allergy; but the Patriot act makes me guilty first; even when I'm innocent

You are, presumably, 'innocent' of manufacturing methamphetamine, but it's a serious social problem they're trying to diminish, methamphetamine production, which is made from pseudoephedrine, active ingredient in Sudafed and other commonly used over the counter drugs. Speak to the pharmacist, and your doctor.

I use to take a 24 hour every day and the 4 hour one once or twice a day. I haven't been able to breathe through my nose since this law passed. The substitutes don't work. The allowed dosage doesn't work.
But, at least meth has been completely eradicated.
