At the risk of sounding conservative, it occurs to me that there probably wouldn't be this shortage of vital ADHD medication if so-called young adults today had more self-control. People such as myself who use pseudoephedrine for chronic nasal congestion problems have a similar beef with meth-heads.
At the risk of sounding free, it occurs to me that there probably wouldn't be this shortage of vital ADHD medication if the so-called freest country in the world was actually free. People such as myself who use pseudo ephedrine and other "controlled" substances have a similar beef with all arbitrary laws.
@n1ck: I'd like to see prohibition get chucked over the side as much as you do. If we can't keep drugs out of our prisons, how are we going to make society "drug-free"? And besides, the climate of prohibition is what created monster-drugs such as crystal meth anyway. The meth-heads and self-indulgent college kids just piss me off because that ideal reality ain't our reality and ain't likely to be for quite some time.
I hope I don't have to go take another dose of sudafed in a half-hour. For some reason, Flo-Nase just doesn't work for me in these chilly, damp global-warming winters we get these days.
