And Odummycare now disallows FSA purchases of OTC drugs.

Here in IL I literally have to show more ID to buy sudafed than I do to cast a ballot in an election.

That's f***** up.

This is a sore spot with me. I’ve had to take a decongestant every day this week because of hay fever and the threat of sinus migraines. That stuff on the shelves is garbage, worth less than the package that holds it.

If our legislature attempts to push a requirement for a prescription, they are going to get a huge, noisy earful from me.

While it wasn't a surprise to me, I noticed just this past winter while fighting a cold--it wasn't until I purchased the Mucinex-D--with pseudoephedrine, that I really enjoyed some relief from my congestive symptoms. The pseudoephedrine replacements don't work nearly as well.

Under Obamacare...if we can get prescriptions for future infections at all, we'll be taking the equivalent of penicillan and amoxicillan...the kinds of antibiotics one must take for 10 days' worth of treatment.

I have five people in my family and before the law was enacted we bought the generic Sudafed in 500 count bottles for around $3 or $4. We now have to buy the stupid small packages, at a much higher cost, and I always wonder if we may have hit a limit that will end up with a couple of armed Government thugs ringing our doorbell and try to make us explain why five people have colds.

This crap MUST stop. The Government did this to control us, not to make us any safer.

You know the war on drugs has gone too far...

Stange place to draw the line. I would have thought the no-knock SWAT raids on the wrong address where civilians are killed by cops would have been it. But I can see where someone with the sniffles would be the tipping point.

Immagine that.You have to provide more I.D. To buy anti-contestant mere than Obama had to show to become President of the United States.Amazing.

"Companies sell cold medications in Europe without pseudoephedrine, and the same could be true here."

isnt that special...i get p!ssed off everytime i have to show ID for OTC med that actually works...9/10 the person on the other side of the counter is too busy lookin me up and down to even be polite about the inconvenience either...

90 yrs later, prohibition is still an epic FAIL...

The report tracked changes in the street price of methamphetamine. Prices spiked for six to nine months after changes in the law, then "manufacturers were able to retool operations and find new sources of chemicals" and the prices dropped back to where they had been.

If this happens with drugs, why not with gasoline?

Could be it's because the gubmint is actually serious about some things. Others, not so much.

[Buckeye McFrog]

the restrictions just force meth cookers to do it the old fashioned way...pull a gun on the pharmacist and demand his whole supply....Congressional dumba*ses!

[FourPeas]

What we need is more common sense pseudoephedrine control, like a 3-day waiting period....
