Sudafed (Original Formula) Is No Longer on the Shelf to Prevent Drug Abuse. Wouldn’t U Rather Just Let…?
Question by destination2012: Sudafed (original formula) is no longer on the shelf to prevent drug abuse. Wouldn’t u rather just let…?
Sudafed (original formula) is no longer on the shelf to prevent drug abuse. The ingredients can be refined and altered to create crystal-meth, the worst illegal drug there is.
There’s still a package sold on the shelf called “Sudafed” and it looks the same, but contains totally different ingredients… ingredients that do not work.
To get REAL Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) you now have to pay a few bucks more for the retail price, and stand in line at the Pharmacists’ counter, and show ID and sign a DEA form.
Wouldn’t it be worth it to just sell the REAL Sudafed on the shelf again, so people with colds or allergies can get convenient relief… and just let the meth addicts die?
Why do we have to inconvenience ourselves protecting stupid people?
And if we really cared about meth addicsts so much, how come there’s not a single federally funded treatment-on-demand clinic?
Plenty of cops to bust doors down… Plenty of DEA agents to make sure you aren’t brewing up meth from the Sudafed… but no drug treatment centers?
Is the War on Drugs more about control of YOU, than of controlling drug addiction?
