Sweet Jesus, I'll just push through the coldFollow

Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Wednesday signed legislation aimed at making it tougher for drug dealers to get ingredients used to make methamphetamine.

The bill, pushed by Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, requires stores to keep popular cold medications such as Sudafed behind counters. Buyers have to be at least 18 and sign a log with name, address, time of purchase and type of product. The log will be kept confidential, but it will be available to police officers.

No one may buy more than two packages of the cold medicine at one time, and monthly purchases are limited.

The new law will take effect Jan. 15.


Smiley: dubious

I think it'd be less work to legally buy a gun and shoot myself next time I get the sniffles.

Oh sure. You just want to see what happens when I go to the counter, my arms laden with dozens of Sudafed boxes Smiley: laugh

What? No, I don't have a cold. Don't worry about why I'm buying them...

that would be funny. I'd want to see the videotape of that. But if something like this passed in my state, I'd probably stock up to avoid the hassle later on. I wouldnt want to wake up at 4 am with a monster cold and have to wade through paperwork over something that small

MI has had laws like that for a while now.

Doesn't seem to bother most of us. 'Cept the people making meth of course.

They have been doing something like this in California for a while too. It doesn't stop producers though. They just steal the shi[/b]t instead.

Fascists!

They've had stuff behind the counter here and I assume they only sell it a box or two at a time but we weren't filling out paperwork just to buy the stuff.

I'll stick with Tylenol.

Here in Texas, you have to give them your drivers license.

I'm suprised they don't ask for a urine sample too. It really sucks when you decide to go shopping after the pharmacy closes and you can't get what you need.

we've got these laws in madison, but only on more concentrated medications like effedrin

fun new term:
exceeding these limitations by buying up to the limit at multiple stores is known as smurfing

Which is why you can only buy a certain amount in one month. It is also another reason why poeple just steal them.

I've got this little bottle of diphenhydramine hci that I picked up at Target for like $3 that I didn't have to fill out crap to buy. Came with 100 capsules and there's probably 90 of them left after 2 weeks because this stuff > me. One makes me slightly groggy and very irritable. Two send me into hibernation for 3-5 hours. Three would probably put me into a 24 hour coma.

Most medicines don't do that much to me, especially after about the third time or so I take them, but this stuff seems to be holding its potency. And I can breathe for about 24 hours after the ill effects pass, too.

Thank God I have two boxes of Dayquil stashed, but it's the allergy meds that'll get me. Smiley: frown Claritin's expensive, so I used to only buy a few pills at a time.

Small world, I live in Madison too.

You can still walk into some of the seedier gas stations/shops and get the straight up effedrin in nice 60 pill bottles. Consider me ignorant for not knowing how to make meth, but it just seems easier to buy it that way.

Even if your state or wherever you live doesn't have any laws regarding it, stores like Walgreens already have something in their checkout system that locks up when someone tries to buy too large a quantity of products containing effedrin and other meth ingredients.

And here in Canada, we don't have a bunch of fu[b][/b]cktards running the government.

We have something worse, the French.

HA.

The most we have is spray paint and those fat magic markers kept behind counters, and yea, you have to be 18 to purchase those.

sorry for wasting this space

Hmmm same here, such a pain when you gotta drive across town for the only 24 hour Walgreens at midnight.

How could that be? Either it is or it isn't.

You can't really mix factual assertations and opinion. Either it's the meth capital or it's not the meth capital. If you're not sure, it's a much better statement to simply say, "BTW, you're not in Des Moines, are you? I hear about meth all the time in Des Moines. It wouldn't suprise me if it's not one of the top meth cities."

OK, I'm done. We now return to your regularly scheduled d1ck and fart jokes.

No, I'm in TN. And I noticed that one day last week, it was one of the Yahoo News headlines that TN is supposed to be "waging a war on meth labs" or something like that. Seriously: something's wrong when a day goes by and you don't hear about at least one meth lab being discovered. Hillbillies like their cheap, homemade drugs.
