This is stupid! I take sudafed sometimes, and I don't want it adulterated with other medications.

Simpler would be to restrict sales of sudafed to a limited quantity or put it behind the counter. At the pharmacy in the supermarket I shop at, you have to go to the pharmacy counter and ask for it. If you buy a single package, you can't make much meth.

It's just another case of prohibiting something because it CAN be abused. That's just wrong!

Me neither. I have asthma and can't take over the counter antihistamines (which is what they'll probably mix it with) because they make the asthma worse (plus make me really sleepy).

This bill is bull.

That's what they've done in Oregon. In Wal-Mart of the local drugstore, all of those cold remedies are now behind the counter, and you have to show ID when you buy them.

Just like a prison camp...
