It's still available, but behind the counter, right?

In Oregon, it's now prescription-only. I know this because I was there for Christmas and got a cold, but couldn't get Sudafed. Let me tell you, air travel with sinus congestion is excruciating.

It is available in strictly limited quantities behind the counter but without a prescription in most states.
Honestly, I wish it were only available by prescription here in North Carolina. This is coming from the view point of the person selling the medication, though.
I just had a guy running around our store trying to find people to buy him additonal boxes of Claritin-D because, according to him, I wasn't allowing him to buy a full month supply. It didn't matter how I explained the law, it was my fault.

According to a newsletter we received recently, the number of active meth labs in the country is down 40% since the laws went into effect. I don't have it anymore so I'm not quite sure how they came up with the numbers.

Never believe statistics given to you by interest groups. I'll bet the meth lab owners have a different set of stats, if they haven't sold their calculators to buy more Target brand sudafed

When I was in Hawaii, which has a fairly bad meth problem, the supermarket near the house we rented had all of their sudafed-type products on a table out in front of the medicine section marked down to a dollar. I bought some.

RT, you're turning into a less artistically inclined, hackier version of me. I'm not sure what to make of this.

I am an arrogant person and I find Woody's arrogance breathtaking!

One thing that needs to stop on this board is the superfluous "s" popping up here and there--rolling musics thread, etc. Sure, the first few times someone used internets, I chuckled along with everyone else. But since if I'm not mistaken, that had its origin as a political joke, it should be stopped. Now. No good can come of it.

You're right. This should be called the random thought thread.

Honestly, outside of the thread you site, I don't see too many instance of the "s" sure there are plenty of interwebs around but that's about it.

There's a whole forum here with a superfluous "s". I call on those with the power to make the change to do so.
