Journal Some Woman's Journal: Diary of a Drug Lord 20
More on the Lookit me! Lookit ME! I'm DOING something! saga. (swjournal/crappystick) Thanks to my alert roommate.
A bill has been introduced in Minnesota to ban the sale of Sudafed. It has passed the House. Thank you, Jesus, for Jesse Ventura not getting his unicameral legislature.
It is not clear from the article if all pseudoephedrine drugs will be banned, and, if so, I'm assuming that there is no loophole allowing me to purchase Drixoral (me) or Tylenol Allergy/Sinus (Some Guy) through drugstore.com. If you think meth users are bad, you do not want to be around Some Guy when he has a sinus infection and no drugs.
But...do not despair, because I have:
The Most Fail-Proof Plan Ever
We will get married. I will become pregnant, because that was God's plan. Some Guy will come down with a vicious Sinus Infection. He will become angry and withdrawn. Our relationship will deteriorate. We will divorce. I will become suicidal, turning to alcohol. In a late-night drinking binge, I will fall down the stairs, injuring my precious fetus. My doctor will advise me that my only choice is a late-term abortion. After I have killed my unborn child, I will fall further into a deep depression. In my weakened state, my immune system will be unable to hold its own against a nasty cold. Drunk, snot-nosed, and despairing, I am unable to care for myself. A female friend will step in to nurse me back to health. But that's not all she does...a passionate love affair ensues.
A ban on pseudoephedrine will lead to the breakdown of the American Family: divorce, abortion, lesbianism... The only hope for Our Great Nation's future lies in repealing this ban.
The End.

Is SW addicted to lesbianism? I sure hope so, and I hope that someone has a camera pointed at her window for the next time the curtains remain open!

First there are a lot of paths to making meth, only some of which require psudoephedrine.
Second it seems the favored method of aquiring psudoephedrine is to steal it. Now this might make it harder to shoplift, but the druggies were already stealing it off loading docks and out of stockrooms.

As it is, IIRC, I remember hearing that a lot of the major cold medicine manufactures were working on a psudoephedrine free cold medication, and possibly phasing out those cold medications that do contain psudoephedrine.
This, in turn, hamstrings a lot of the smaller producers. The Joe Q. Meth-Addicts who decided that rather then pay someone else for meth they'd make t

There's a level of idiocy in banning a prefectly legal, OTC medication, that I didn't think was possible to reach. Sadly, I am proven wrong.
So, the great state of Minnesota wants to ban pseudoephedrine-containing cold remedies? Better be sure to tell a friend of mine who's heading to U of M in August to start his PhD. He gets allergy symptoms almost as bad as mine, and by taking his stash of Tylenol Sinus / Allergy with him, he could be putting his

Ugh; that's how i got my last ear infection -- unchecked allergy-related sinus congestion.
I guess the logic is that if stores don't stock it, it can't be stolen from the loading dock or sales floor? So what are people to do when they have a cold with sinus congestion and say, a cough? Suffer? Because you can't have COUGH SYRUP on the shelves, because kids drink it to get high. You can't have Sudafed on the shelves because asshats use it to make meth. Go to the doctor and get some sort of prescription goodn

Just making it illegal to sell the drugs in one state won't stop the meth labs. Meth labs themselves are illegal, so why would breaking one more law (I'm assuming it will also be illegal to "import" the drugs from other states) stop them?
I'm glad I'm not living in Minnesota
