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 He will become angry and withdrawn.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.

        Cause that would probably do the trick for 90% of the dot. :)

        What's your fascination with this stuff?

        I mean, besides the obvious are you kdding me response to the knee-jerk legislation?

          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! ;-)

        Leave out the bits about snot, though, and I'm all ears.

  • What nasty side effects would meth made out of Claritin offer? After all, one Claritin is four Sudafed plus other stuff.
  • They are banning.... not just requiring a prescription or at least putting it behind the booth? What a load of over reacting...

    • They just passed a law that it can only be sold by a pharmacist, which was apparently just to tide them over until they could ban esentially all cold and allergy medications.
  • Just come live in beautiful TN, where you can have all the meth^H^H^H^Hsinus medicine you want.
  • Before the ban passed, another amendment restricting where the precursors could be sold passed 94 to 39. The amendment limits the sale of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine to pharmacies, eliminating selling small "personal packs" of the medications in such places as convenience stores and gas stations. The amendment passed despite arguments from some that eliminating sales from convenience stores and gas stations was "anti-rural" because of a paucity of pharmacies in some areas.

    Like making pseudoephedrine harder to purchase is going to slow anyone making meth in quantity down.

    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.

    • While there may be other ways of making Meth that don't use Psudoephedrine, the most accessable recipies (online), IIRC, use Psudoephedrine.

      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

  • (This seems to be my standard reaction for the weekend.)

    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
  • So people who suffer from colds, flu and sinus problems won't be able to purchase a perfectly safe, acceptable remedy, yet the crooks running meth labs just have to drive across the border to get their ingredients? Yeah - that'll work!

    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

Promising costs nothing, it's the delivering that kills you.
