;No inhalers, no sudafed and coming soon no asprin.

No aspirin. Well the active ingredient in aspirin can be extracted by boiling willow bark. In fact that is how aspirin got started.

So they can't ban aspirin unless they ban willow trees. And since they've already made several other plants illegal who knows..............

They can either ban the plant, or try to stop people from extracting it. I think the DEA and FDA (and let's not forget Treasury!) would love to knock on a few doors to go after home-grown "aspirin labs"... :-(
