My point was that the poster was complaning about paying $53.00 to see a doctor to get " a piece of paper" for pseudoephedrine.

I thought it was funny in that the pro-medical marijuana people were more than happy to pay $53 to see a doctor to get their piece of paper.

Let's read the posts first, and not make this any more complicated than it has to be. OK?

Nothing funny about it: some drugs have effects that make a doctor's supervision highly advisable, while others don't.

Their is an important difference in the $53 piece of paper medical marijuana users and pseudoephedrine users would have to have. The recommendation for medical marijuana lasts at least a year in states with medical marijuana laws. The $53 prescription for pseudoephedrine is something people would probably have to get every time they buy some pseudoephedrine or almost every time. Besides, marijuana is dead easy to get on the black market without going through the process of getting the $53 piece of paper. There isn't a consumer level black market for pseudoephedrine, yet.
