you go senator

Props out to Senator Talent for introducing the Combat Meth Act at the national level. I mean, what would society be like if just anyone could buy cold medicine? And since people only get sick near pharmacies during pharmacy hours, it won't matter that you can only buy it from a pharmacy that's open. It's really good for the economy, too, between the cost savings that drug companies will enjoy by getting drugs sent back to them from shops that don't have pharmacies to consumers not being bothered by pesky taxes they would have had to have paid if they had been able to buy some Sudafed. Oh, and it's good for the pen and paper producers since the law now requires pharmacists to record who buys what when.

No kidding; I heard it on the local news. I'm just shocked they bothered investigating the law that much. It's probably because they like being able to lead with stories about meth houses that blow up. It is kinda cool that some fly-over state known for its cow towns and weird pizza boasts some of the largest production of a major illegal drug in the world. We be gettin street cred yo.

You know what makes it even better? Later in the broadcast they had a story about a meth house!
