Say Uncle notes that common cold medicines may soon be unavailable because of the war on drugs. As drug stores are being made to jump through hoops or face serious fines for selling sudafed without checking ID and logging the purchase, more of them are simply dropping the product, which is a common ingredient in methamphetamines. Target has already dropped several types of baby medicine, and Walgreens "has agreed to pay $1.3 million" for "failing to monitor sales of over-the-counter cold medicine". Walgreens will also "spend $1 million to monitor purchases of this medicine".

Posted by: Trevor at August 1, 2005 12:40 PMAlmost every narcotic in existance to day started out as an easily avalible, over the counter, miricle cure for all sorts of ailments. Morphine, Opium, Cocaine, Heroin, Amphetamines, LSD, MDMA, and dozens of others were at one time legal, and usually popular enough to become abused. Whenever one became illegal, another would quickly take it's place. You think Meth would be as popular as it is if people could by weed at CVS or 7-11? You think there won't soon be new discoveries in the field of chemistry which are used to produce new narcotics out of things you can obtain anywhere? It's such bullshit! As Bill Hicks said, "There's a War on Drugs, and people on drugs are winning it!"
