foiled again

· · 🌡️ 40°F

Dammit! I had my meth lab all set up in my basement and ready to go - until I got to the drug store and found out I had to ask the pharmacist for a 24-pack of Sudafed. Damn, damn, damn! Curse my bashfulness! Now that I can't corrupt the youth of America I guess I'll have no choice but to spend my spare time helping old ladies cross the street.

And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling legislators.

    you give up too easily my friend.

    you could get a bunch of your meth-head friends and customers to go and buy a box or two each at different locations.

    in no time at all, you could have all the pseudoprine hcl (or whatever the fuck it is) that you need.

    You can thank Linus Torvalds for this idea. Working in Linux, I've become accustomed to "workarounds"

    I do ask one favour. Please let me know when you are homebrewing so I can stay away from your lab.

    OTC Sudafed seems a little silly, although anybody that is buying a massive quantity of the stuff isn't buying it because they are feeling stuffy.

    Jay and I are always talking about the 'nanny state.' This is a perfect example.

    The ironic thing is I don't even like pseudoephedrine. It works miracles on my sinuses, but it makes me feel all spacy, and it's really expensive. I ended up buying the phenylephrine instead in the hopes that it has fewer side effects.

    What I object to more than the supposition that I'm some kind of crank dealer, is the assertion that limiting retail purchases of nasal decongestant is going to have any sort of noticeable impact on wholesale meth manufacture. If it works at all, it will only serve to help eliminate mom & pop meth labs and strengthen the market position of the large-scale manufacturers, who most assuredly do not buy 24-packs of Sudafed.

    It is also troubling that it took a large-scale media scare before there was any real research into less freaky nasal decongestants. [see also Tamiflu :::link::: ]
