Advil Cold and Sinus

[RkyMtnHigh 0]

Advil Cold and Sinus isn't OTC anymore. Apparently a law was passed here in GA where it can only be accessed through the Pharmacy because it was being used for making meth

Is this just a Georgia thing?

I don't know, but a radio station here has a saying:

Broadcasting from Flint, Mich where even the meth labs are outsourced.

Apparently, we can't even make our own drugs here it's so bad.

to get it in the chicago area you have to have an id and you can only buy like one or two packets at a time

When i read that the first time, i thought the dealers were carding for meth. Limit two packets per buyer.

No. Lots of states are doing it, and lots of retailers are doing it too even if there's no state reg.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

If it contains Pseudoephedrine as the decongestant, you just ask for it at the pharmacy. They'll probably take down your driver's license information (in NC they do). All of the oral decongestants sitting out on the shelves now seem to contain Phenylephrine instead.

Most states I have been to recently it is an "ask for and show id" item. In OR, it is now perscription only...found that out on a visit there last fall.

Its still over the counter, you dont need a Rx for it. You just have to get it in small amount. And show a drivers lisence

I went to Eckerds at 7am to get the Advil Cold and Sinus but the Pharmacy didn't open until Noon today (Sunday). On the shelf where it used to be over the counter are slips of paper to present to the Pharmacist, so I had to wait 5 hours for relief. It only came in a package of 16. Limited to one per customer. They asked for my ID and to sign a logbook. I asked if it was a State Law and they said it was Federal (yet each State is implementing it to varying degrees) and was put into effect approximately 8 months ago. They said it is an attempt to control the substance for potential abuse. If someone who's operating a meth lab wants ingredients, they will get it, even if it means the inconvenience of store hopping and signing a lot of logbooks.

Welcome to our world. It's been prescription only for a couple years on Oregon. Finally went and got some from the doc last year. Should be enough to last me through this year.

Theres plenty of cold medicines that arent behind the counter. And oregons the only state you have to get a doc to let you have it, other then that ya just have to sign a form.

What I don't understand is how it is an ingredient of meth. Is it melted along with other products? It seems like it would take a large quantity to make anything I'm naiive when it comes to this stuff.

When my car was stolen in Colorado about 5 years ago, it was recovered at a meth lab at a Ramada Inn and there was large containers of Bleach and Liquid Tide in the back cargo area. The investigators wouldn't let me take possession of my SUV until it was thoroughly cleaned because they said my vehicle was toxic due to the meth ingredients. After this Advil situation, I did some research online and didn't see those two things as part of ingredients for making meth therefore I'm a bit confused.

It's law in Massachusetts. The worst part about it is they won't tell me how to turn the pseudoephedrine into Meth.

What the cops didn't realize was that your car was just so messy the meth dealers were in the process of cleaning it when they got busted, but the cops just assumed the dealers had made the mess.

Yes, the dealers implemented that rule because they've had a lot of problems with people buying meth to make cold medications.

Yep, we've been going through that for awhile in FL.

You can be such a smarta$$. Don't you remember the cool company cars I had back then? Subarus and Jeeps. They paid ME to keep it clean

Some of the recipe ingredients are propane tanks and ammonia. I don't know how to make it, but there are a bunch of meth labs out here in Pierce County, WA where we live. It's been a real scourge.

The waste products are toxic and the cooking process is dangerous, with deadly explosions and fires a real possibility. The crackdown on meth labs around here has not really cut into the consumption of the drug in our state, it has simply moved production down south to Mexico.

I think I'd rather see people on heroin. Meth had destroyed a lot of families around here.
