How come the only time we get bipartisan cooperation is when they decide to draft some asinine bill like making it difficult to buy cough medicine? This is going to make it easier to get meth than medicine for a cold. Ludicrous.
Sales of over-the-counter cold remedies used to make methamphetamine would be restricted under a measure approved by the Senate on Friday.
The bill would require stores to sell Sudafed, Nyquil and other medicines only from behind the pharmacy counter.
Consumers would have to show a photo ID, sign a log, and be limited to 7.5 grams — or about 250 30-milligram pills — in a 30-day period. Computer tracking would prevent customers from exceeding the limit at other stores, according to the bipartisan bill.
Here's a clue- Why not use those resources the feds waste on arresting harmless potheads on solving the problem of a drug that is actually harmful and deadly? If they spent half as much time looking for meth dealers as they do busting college students for pot, we wouldn't need absurd restrictions on buying the sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever, so you can rest medicine.
