And the other day, when the entire family had the flu, my wife tried to buy a bottle of NyQuil, a bottle of Day-Quil, a bottle of children's decongestant, and a small box of 24 decongestant pills at WalMart. The clerk told her that she could not do that. So, she had to make two separate purchases. Some sort of regulation on PseudoEphedrine limited how many products containing it she could buy per transaction. Fact is, she probably broke some other law by breaking up the transactions.

And now that they banned ephedra yesterday, you won't be able to buy that instead for a stuffy nose either.

It's all part of the nanny state trying to take care of us.

I found this entire thread most interesting but your post about the flu meds blew my mind.

The odd thing is that we could buy as much booze as we want and no one would care.

Insanity!!!!

That's because pseudoephedrine is a convenient starting material for basement lab synthesis of methamphetamine.
