Meth law

Well the new meth law is causing headaches already and it has only been in effect for 3 days, according to the news. It says only 7500 milligrams of pseudoephedrine in any medication may be purchased by a person during the course of a month (is that 30 or 31 days?)and must register their name in a log at the pharmacy. I just bought my allergy medicine before the law took effect so it will be a while before I need to purchase more. Looking at my medicine box to check the milligrams of my medicine doses, it has 30 milligrams of pseudoephedrine per pill. Figuring for 30 days, to reach the 7500 I would have to take 8 1/3 pills per day. That equals to 4 recomended doses per day. The medicine lasts for 4 hours and it says not to take more than 8 tablets over a 24 hour period. So I'm safe when ragweed season hits me like the plague. All I can say is that it is good I don't have other people in my place (or be a single mother) because I would otherwise be breaking the law if my kid or spouse needed a decongestant. Please tell these drug manufacters are creating other decogesants that can't be used to make meth. I don't care what my allergy medicine is made out of, I just want it to work. Looks like I won't be buying any allergy/cold medicines after work when the pharmacy is closed. That would be annoying to have a runny nose all night waiting for the pharmacy to open again. Post later. Bye!
