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

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.

The only thing I've found to help me with Cedar Fever is the Walmart brand of Sudafed Sinus/Alergy. A year or two ago I kept trying to buy some only to find they were out of stock, the shelf was still labeled but it was empty. I finally asked at the perscription counter and they told me they had it in the back room. They had to lock it up because they were finding dozens of empty boxes stashed throughout the store. People would come in and steal the entire inventory every day. So I got my 3 boxes (don't like going to Walmart so I stock up) and go to a register to pay. Alarms started going off at the register when she tried to ring my third box up. I don't remember what the remedy was but I finally got out of there with all three boxes. I think I offered to let her strip search me, or maybe I offered to hide the boxes on her somewhere and then strip search her... I don't know. Cedar fever will do that to you.

Or that one of our dear elected officials has anything other than our best interests at heart.

If Estes had our best interests at heart in regard to meth proliferation, he'd be calling for AC-130s to take out the BIG meth labs south of the Rio Grande.

In Illinois now, we have to ask the pharmacist for sudafed, he keeps it behind the counter and you are limited to two packs at a time.....a real pain since I usually have to stand in line...

We ran into the Cold & Flu Item limit recently on a visit to Missouri, so my wife paid for 2 and I bought the other one.

Senate Bill 107 proposes to prohibit over-the-counter sales of single entity forms of pseudoephedrine.

No problemo...

Just triple those 4 cup-o-coffee days, AND make it expresso.

While they may prohibit over the counter sales, what will be the criminal charge for legally buying it in another state and driving into Texas?

Will posession be criminalized?

Will it affect production or will criminals still violate laws?

Well it is not like an abortion for a minor. You think that you have some kind of "right"? < /sarcasm >

I hope the government will start determining what foods I may eat when I’m hungry.

Well they DO. There are horses raised in Texas for meat but you cannot legally buy it here, that meat is for export only.

It's not like sex. If you want to eat an abberant animal, you can't, even if it is legally butchered for food in this state.

State Senator Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, has declared war on the methamphetamine epidemic by filing a package of bills for the 79th Texas Legislature aimed at limiting the essential ingredients for producing the drug while providing stiffer penalties for the criminals who manufacture, deliver, or possess it, according to a press release from his office.

I haven't read the "package of bills" Estes filed, but if your questions have answers, that's where they'd be.

That's right.

The right to abortion is more protected than the right to buy medically necessary non-prescription items.

A minor cannot seek medical treatment without parental/guardian consent EXCEPT in the case of abortion (schools will even conspire to hide the fact from parents).
