Even the citation in my blog, “Serenade in Blue” caused a lot of my friends to wonder what’s going on…

I seriously can’t imagine bothering my primary care physician (a great guy, btw) so I can get some psuedophed for myself or my spouse.

I can totally get with the idea of having to purchase psuedophedrine, etc., from the pharamcist directly, but thru my primary care physician — uhm… no.

For the record, Portland Oregon has a horrible meth problem. Just about any problem/fuss, etc in the news can almost always be traced back to meth.

The number of meth house bust has gone down (there was one around the corner from us), so obviously the law is working.

But geeze, people, do we really need to go this far?

OTOH, the pharmacies seem to have pre-emptively moved pseudofed behind their counters. I bet they're trying to head off similar desperation measures.

Terrific news for Oregon’s ED’s and urgent care centers. They’ll be doing the proverbial land-offce business.

Soon to come: criminalization of ‘bootlegging’ sudafed in from CA, WA, etc.
