As a chronic sufferer of allergies and sinus congestion, I use a lot of Sudafed. Actually, I use a lot of store-brand generic pseudoephedrine.
Lately, a number of stores have begun hiding the Sudafed (and generics) behind the pharmacy counter. Why? Because it’s being used to manufacture methamphetamine.
Here’s an article about stores that have jumped on the behind-the-counter bandwagon.
When I purchased some at Target, not only did I have to go to the pharmacy counter to get it, but I had to pay for it there as well. Because clearly, there could be some illegal activity between the pharmacy counter and the front checkout. Sigh.
I understand the reasoning behind this, I really do…but I hate feeling so dirty just buying sinus medication. And I wonder, is it really stopping or reducing the manufacture of meth?
I notice that Sudafed is marketing a new product…my mom had some last time I was home…I took some, but I didn’t seem to think it worked as well. Has anyone else tried this?
Sudafed (the generic) is what Hawk recommends and what we both take.
I would ask if they had any free samples of male enhancement pills or contraceptives behind the counter as well. But tha’s just me.
Or ask the pharmacist, “Now, where are the cleaning supplies?”
PS: Loving that I can comment now 😉
Have you ever tried a Neti pot? My sinus troubles have been a lot better since I started using one, although it took some getting used to.
Yeah-eah!
I want a new drug
One that won’t make me sick
One that won’t make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
I want a new drug
One that won’t hurt my head
One that won’t make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you
I want a new drug
One that won’t spill
One that don’t cost too much
Or come in a pill
I want a new drug
One that won’t go away
One that won’t keep me up all night
One that won’t make me sleep all day
One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you
I’m alone with you, baby
I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won’t make me feel too bad
One that won’t make me feel too good
I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that won’t make me talk too much
Or make my face freak out
One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you
I’m alone with you
Try my neighborhood.
Southtown burbs.
Renters/drug dealers are moving into the ‘burbs and manufacturing this shit.
It’s right next door to my home. 20+ cars per day.
This wasn’t like this before they moved here.
