3. More drug law nuttiness...

People have been getting high from cough syrup for years (codeine, pertussin, DXM...) and using it to make other stuff to get high. So, we make it tougher to get cough syrup.

But, have you seen my miracle cough cure posts? Vick's Vapo Rub smeared on the soles of your feet works. I thought it was nuts, but I mentioned it to one of the nurses at the VA hospital and she said everyone up there tried it. Then I tried it when I got a bad dry cough.

It does work-- the theory is that it is absorbed faster through your feet than your chest. Just wear heavy socks so you don't make a mess on the floor. BTW, I use Rite-Aid's generic version and it works just fine.
