It's kinda hard to compare meth to booze. I don't see what there is to complain about. It's not like anyone "has" to have this cold medicine. If you want it bad enough, then go through the crap to get it. Otherwise eat an orange and blow your nose. Either way, your cold is going to run it's course regardless of what you do. For all I care, they can ban it entirely. Also, who the F cares if your pharmacist has your information? I bet the same people who act so concerned about their personal "business" are playing on Facebook right now, on a phone with GPS that tracks their everymove. . . People are stupid.

I understand the purpose of this law. However, isn't this asking a pharmacist to diagnose a problem? While it's true they have undergone extensive schooling. They have not gone enough to be able to diagnose someone. Then there is the factor that all you have to do is be able to quote the symptoms you heard or read in an ad somewhere. Sounds more like a band aid on a broken arm but it's a start.

This used to be a free country. Meanwhile, liquor stores deal death to people who don't even drink. At least Jackie tried to give two sides. I have met her; she has potential to be a top-tier journalist (besides being beautiful).

Jeez, stop making people's lives harder because you think it will help the stupid racist war on drugs.
