The problem arises when they want to have fun killing other people, like this scroat did: Antonie Dixon
They took phenylpropanolamine (another effective decongestant) off the shelves for no logical reason (given that almost anything can be found to harm someone somewhere). And now it appears that sooner or later we won’t be able to get relief from a cold from pseudoephidrine because a number of idiots want to have fun killing themselves?
Exactly. It’s the one decongestant I used because it had the fewest side-effects (a lot of the others make me a little on the queasy and light-headed side). And now, because some bum in a trailer in the woods is boiling this on his stove, I can’t buy it?
I was actually ordering it on-line from Canada, after having sent them a copy of my drivers license and other info, and then the company changed their formula to conform to the new guidelines. So now I’m back where I started from, having to buy something much stronger from my local drugstore (after giving them my drivers license and practically a blood sample).
