What Getting Carded for Sudafed Says About the Drug War

6. It has neaningful purpose....

Such laws as removing such drugs to a secured area and requiring pharmacy staff to bring it to you and require signature prevents my teens grand kids from hoarding the drug from the shelves of every drug store and running to their basement to cook it into meth. Furthermore, there are serious effects from using/ abusing Sudafed among other medications and should NOT be taken so lightly as I read in other comments. I find you misinformed. You think popping a pill solves your immediate problem. It doesn't, your problem is only masked temporarily. I blame advertisers and media for produciing a quick fix, drug induced, ignorant of self-help public.This from a RN and RPh. Trust me you can feel alert when your sooo tired; get some fresh air, a few deep breaths and 5minutes of jumping jacks followed by a large glass of water, same for headaches modified with less strenuous exercise; leg cramps- similar, add more water you're probably dehydrated. Get wise to what we've been sold for decades. You DO NOT need a chemical pill for each of your little sufferings You need to take a few minutes out to take care of yourself! Amen.
