    It doesn’t even have to benefit the minority to inconvenience the majority.

    For example, two tenths of fuck-all people used the medication Sudafed to extract pseudoephedrine to make meth, but the rest of the world, me included, were required to provide id to buy the stuff from behind the pharmacy counter.

    Same deal for paracetamol. Apparently a few Darwin candidates overdosed and now we can’t buy bulk packs, or any above 16 tablets per box at the supermarket.

      cough medicine

      So, fuck it just give them precursor straight and they wont have to extract it from cough medicine and make the supply lines all weird.

      APAP/tylenol/paracetamol (the worst abbreviation)

      But paracetamol has a really tiny gap between effective dose and dangerous dose. That one is reasonable. Meth (given lab quality) might genuinely be a safer drug. And what’s it for? Pain?
