Do I LOOK Like a Drug Dealer?

I feel for you. I have horrible allergies, asthma and sinus issues and I’ve always heard Houston is the allergy capital. I think that is so weird what they’ve done with all the “D”/sudafed products. I’d rather it all go back to being a script so people who need it can get what they need.

The state of Misery does the same thing… I have had to send C out after I have bought mine just so they don’t think we are trying to build a meth lab in our basement.

To top it off, if I wanted to I am sure some of the offenders (inmates) in my prison could give me a detailed description as to how to make it.

Every time I have to sign that stupid piece of paper I imagine one of my offenders actually standing in line to legally purchase Claritin-D to make meth. You know they do right? They totally obey that one silly little law, and then go break all the rest. Dumbasses, I swear!

Oh, and the state of Misery was the largest distributor per capita in the U.S. in 2006, and might still be. We just love meth here,

Is this the Claritin you can buy over the counter or a different one? I buy it at Sams where I can get more than a month’s worth. No one’s ever asked me to sign anything. Could you get both Zyrtec and Claritin to add to the joy.

Just trying to help. I still use Chlortrimeton for myself so you can’t go by me.

I’m having a panic attack just thinking about being limited for my allergy relief. Here in Michigan we’re required to show our drivers license and sign in at the pharmacy to purchase pseudoephedrine but are not limited per month.

I may have to take Texas off the possible relocation list. Give me a holler if you want me to send you an express package of the magic decongestant.

Really, they put your name on a list? There should be at least an exception in place for larger families and those poor mouth breathers especially prone to allergies.

My kids are also notorious for cup sharing, they leave them lying around everywhere and never EVER remember which cup is which. It’s why they all fall like dominoes to every viral strain that makes it through the door.

Ha! I’ve accused you of being a long lost relative and now that you’ve given a physical description
I’m sure we’ve got a Scottish blood tie. Yes, I’m short, would be mostly grey if not for my talented hair colorist and constantly at war with the weight.
The government is tracking our pseudoephedrine use and my insurance company’s limited me to 14 sleeping pills a month. I got a stronger dose and I cut them in half.

Hmm. THe key here is to stock up all year then, right? Or, If you divulge your real name and address, we can buy some in our states and send it to you. {Ax murderer may/may not be included}
If this ever happens to tylenol, i’m dead.

I am amazed that there is that kind of law in Texas. There is no law for that here in Canada (So far that I am aware of). I feel for you. You’d think you’d be able to get a doctor’s prescription or something for more.

BTW thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my post. I agree, Teletubbies are inane and I refused to even let my kids watch a single episode of them or Barney. (Too many years of babysitting). We picked something we could stand. *L* Have a great day.

Yikes. I’m sorry. This sounds awful and unfair to people like you who don’t misuse the drug.

Totally cracks me up. Did you know some of the stores lock up laxatives too? Seriously.

I was surprised the first time i got carded when I tried to buy a decongestant, but I had no idea they tracked that kind of information.

How boring the collectors of that information must be…

That Claritin-meth rationing law is simply nuts. I can’t believe the ration is per family rather than per person. it’s crazy.

Thinking about the Texas Drug Registry ( and there’s something similar in every state, yes?) and Obama’s push to put each and every medical record belonging to everyone of us onto a federal database makes me . . . . well. Hell’s bells.

I better not go down that path or I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

This law ticks me off to no end. I FEEL like a drug dealer sometimes when I have to go around (ahead of time) to various drug stores, over time to collect my stash of Claritin-D or Zyrtec-D so we have some on hand when we need it. With 4 people who have allergies (1 with asthma) it’s kinda important to have some on hand. If you wait until you NEED it, you’re screwed. So, I have my little routine that is totally ridiculous because if I can do it, so can the Meth makers. Maybe they couldn’t manufacture the QUANTITY but they could manufacture enough for their own usage. This is an example of government legislating behavior that does not work. Amen

Wow! I had no idea. Here (Canada), they don’t regulate any of that stuff. Can’t you get a doctor’s prescription for more? I would freak if I got allergies and couldn’t take anything to ease the symptoms.

I feel for you! We are in the same boat here in Illinois. I have four kids and so far three of us have bad allergies not to mention asthma. It is all getting a little ridiculous!
