I’m in favor of the war on drugs, basically, but I think it should be more anti-drug media pressure that carries the effort. Here in Florida, both lower income whites and blacks are perma-stoned, with whites being particularly given to meth so they’re not only stoned but angry. And they’re both unemployable.

That said, I have strange allergy flare ups (probably mold) for which only pseudoephedrine works. I used to order it from an on-line pharmacy in Canada because they had the only product I liked (Allerest) which seemed to have a low dosage and did not make me feel weird. I had to send them all my passport information to get it!

Then I found I could get 4-hour tablets of a generic brand here...and I started doing that. Now you can get almost nothing and it’s ridiculous. I don’t know the actual limits because I have decided that it’s just easier to suffer than to go and be treated like a drug dealer at my local CVS.

I was in New Mexico with my sister (NM, famous for Breaking Bad) and she bought some allergy pills and then, right after buying them, discovered that they were 12-hour, which she doesn’t like. She wanted to exchange them for 4-hour tablets, because the headache and congestion are usually gone by then or they won’t go at all, but the pharmacy wouldn’t let her, and she had bought her limit for whatever period of time it was. So I bought the 4-hour pack, and I was surprised that there weren’t cops waiting outside the door for us.

A lot of this is done, I think, to discredit the anti-drug movement. There’s no reason to make it this cumbersome; people who want to make meth get their stuff somewhere, no matter what.

All the authorities need to do is see if somebody is buying 20 packs of allergy meds a day and go from there. But harassing normal purchasers of allergy meds is clearly meant to impinge on the middle class and make them oppose the “war on drugs” because they blame it for making it impossible for them to buy some minor medication that would make their headache go away.

This is the first I have heard of allergy meds being an ingredient in meth. I take both Zyrtec and Benadryl my husband takes Benadryl . I hope I don’t get arrested when I stock up next time.

That makes zero sense. Put the blame where it it belongs, on nanny-statists and their vile War on Drugs.

I'll bet a 3am SWAT raid would change your mind about the WOD in a hurry.
