You're right that they sell the unworking variety over the counter. We picked up a box of that stuff, and I said, "But it's not going to work." The variety we ended up buying had 10 or 12 pills in it, and it did have the pseudoephedrine in it. However, the girl at the pharmacy still had to record it. She said they are still putting that on the shelf because it is harder for meth producers to make meth from it.
As I said earlier..........the only thing these laws do is harass or inconvenience lawabiding citizens.
