15. If the feds would leave off the mmj raids and focus on tracking
the mass sales of pseudoephedrine that apparently fall off trucks somewhere, that might make a dent. My pet theory is that on top of what we know about the money made by attacking mj, some corp is making a lot of money on sneaking in the pseudo, and so that won't be happening anytime soon, on either side of the equation.

Banning it all together is just as stupid as banning MJ or hemp or stem cell research or guns or homosexuality. Its a valid medical product, and some people need it. Here in Oregon, I have noticed that whatever crap they use instead in OTC stuff does absolutely nothing. I haven't had even a solid half night sleep in about a week since my wife got a cold. I drive up across the border, pick some pseudo up, and that night I get to sleep.

I am here in Oregon with this huge jump. I see it on a regular basis as well. Fortunately I have thus far been a stage removed from personal effects(no arrests, though they did steal my identity at one point). But I see what you see. It is a kiss of death, except a slow and corrupt one that does its damnedest to pull anyone around you down too.

But prohibition won't work. If it did, we wouldn't be worried about alcoholism, DUI, and all that in the modern era.
