some cold and allergy medicines will only at be available by prescription after July 1

KMTR--

A reminder that a new law sponsored by sleepy Ted goes into effect July 1, 2006 requiring over-the-counter drugs that contain pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine be available by prescription only.

let's see if I have this right...
cold and allergy medicine = prescription
prescription = Doctor
Poor = No Doctor
No Doctor= no prescription
no prescription = more days lost from school & work

Thanks Tedfor for thinking of the health and welfare of Oregonians

= Oregon taxpayers pay for those without insurance, and for the illegal aliens that get "free" Oregon social services.

= wasted time going to a doctor's office

= wasted doctor's time that someone in real need will now have to wait for

= supports the Mexican drug gangs moving into Oregon

= absolutely no effect on the drug trade. If there are stats that show less drug busts it's only because there are less police to find and arrest them, less jail space to hold them - because Ted rather fund his social assistance programs and bloat the school unions more than they are now.

over the counter sales = public information

prescription = protected private medical records

suspicious purchase of drugs over the counter = tip to police

suspicious renewal of prescription = lawsuit if you tell anyone

yeah, making it prescription only is the way to stop crime...

If keeping the meds behind the counter and asking for ID to buy has cut meth production as much as they say, why do we need to take it any further? Almost all the meth is now coming in from Mexican labs. If you want to cut meth, build a wall and put armed guards on top of it.

There are alternative treatments to sudafed out there for colds.

Meanwhile putting the stuff behind the counters has really put a dent in the tweaker labs.

Oregon = massive flora and
massive flora in full bloom is misery for anyone with allergies. And if I run down and try to stock up, they'll peg me for a crackhead. I think we need to stop making the drug companies and oil barons rich. Blow your nose on a nice handkerchief and send it to Ted.

Oh jeff, STFU. Don't tell me how to fight a cold.

One thing was left out in the various equations -

November 7, 2006 = New Governor, Ron Saxton

yes, I agree... while I would rather have Jason Atkinson, I'll take Ron Sexton over any of the other choices.

I wonder if anybody has asked him what he feels about sleepy Ted's cure to the methamphetamine problem?
