You don't even need to enter the actual medical system to find incredible stupidity. Just go to the damn pharmacy, where they control meds so tightly that you can't get them.
This latest debacle involving pseudoephedrine is just ridiculous. An individual can only legally buy approximately 75 12-hour doses per month. If, like me, you have a family of four who uses such things at least once per day per person, it doesn't take long to use that up, and then you have to make another trip to the pharmacy, or send another member of the family who is over 18.
I debated this with pharmacist last night. She insisted that if one needed such medication that regularly, you should have a scrip from your doctor. Yeah, great. That's what I need. Another damn thing to be regulated by not only my pharmacy, but my doctor. Especially something that has been perfectly legal for years and years.
Anyone seen any less meth problems yet, since this is supposed to have solved them in one fell swoop?
