Please excuse any typos. Im typing this mostly one-handed.
The other hand is busy holding a handkerchief under my nose, which is steadily drip-drip-dripping. Its like Chinese water torture in reverse.
Despite the fact that my nose keeps running at an impressive rate, my sinuses nevertheless feel like someone poured the foundation of a house into them.
Well, dont just sit there whining about it! Take a Claritin D12, for Petes sake!
OH, HOW I WOULD LOVE TO. Unfortunately, I cant. See, Im out of Claritin D12, and I cant buy any more because its Sunday night, all the pharmacies in town are closed, and that means I cant get MY OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER.
Wait. What? Why?
Because once again, hillbillies have gone and ruined it for all of us.
In case anyone is unaware, pseudoephedrine, the miracle ingredient in combination antihistamines/decongestants like Claritin D12, is one of the principal ingredients used to manufacture methamphetamine. Before pharmacies started stocking decongestants containing pseudoephedrine behind the counter, hillbillies used to go into drug stores, buy 80 boxes of Sudafed, take them home and make crank. They still do, actually; theyre just sneakier about it now. They still poison their children with the fumes, blow up their entire neighborhoods (these are, after all, the same people who cant fry a turkey without burning down their homes) and spend their 15 minutes of fame on COPS. The only thing the DEA or whomever has accomplished by requiring customers to retrieve their OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION FROM BEHIND THE PHARMACY COUNTER (sorry about the caps, but I want to make REALLY, REALLY sure everyone catches the irony there) is making me miserable on a Sunday night.
Of course, I just Googled meth ingredients, so Ill probably have the DEA knocking down my door any minute now. Sorry, boys, but unless organic almond butter counts as a drug, were fresh out of illicit substances around here. Jessica and I even polished off the last bottle of Douchebag Wine* last weekend.
(The Stalker once accused me of manufacturing drugs in my apartment. I know, right? That ones a little slow on the uptake. Anyway, when I called the police to report this fantastic turn of events, they sent an officer out to talk to me. He walked into my apartment, took a look around and burst out laughing. Heres a hint, Stalker: people who ride bikes, own Chihuahuas with their own wardrobes and subscribe to Mother Jones magazine are particularly unlikely to be drug dealers and/or manufacturers.)
Where was I? Oh, yes: BY DOZE MY NOSE.
Tomorrow morning at 8:00 cant come fast enough.
Your stuffy

*Douchebag Wine: For most of the past two years, I was involved in this weird, co-dependent pseudo-relationship with this guy whom we shall call Dwight, because he styled his hair exactly like Dwight on The Office. Anyway, so for Christmas two years ago, Dwight thought it would be a totally rad idea to give everyone bottles of wine with his picture on them. And, like, NOT in an ironic way, but rather in a dead-serious, dude-why-WOULDNT-everyone-want-their-hooch-to-have-a-crappy-picture-of-me-and-a-misspelled-label-like-DUH way.  And because Dwight is after all a giant douchebag so generous, he gave me something like five bottles. And the wine was pretty good, but like Im really gonna whip out a bottle of Cab with a picture of a douchebag on it for the next wine-and-cheese I get invited to. So its taken me almost a year and a half, but through a strong desire to get tore up hard work and perseverance, Jessica and I finished the final bottle of Douchebag Wine last Friday. What does this mean for you? Well, when you come over, you can rest assured Ill never whip out a bottle of Cab with a picture of a douchebag on it.
Dont get me wrong, Ill still probably try to make you drink Rebel Yell or something, but at least it wont have a douchebag on the label.

Have you noticed that you have to go to the pharmacy in order to purchase popular cold medications when previously you did not? Why is that? According the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), "methamphetamine abuse is second only to alcohol and marijuana abuse." (1) So what does over the counter medications such as Claritin and Sudafed have to do with Methamphetamine? These common over the counter medications contain the active ingredients that can be used to make methamphetamine known as pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, or norpseudoephedrine. In 2005, the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act was passed which required stricter laws for the purchase of over the counter medications that contained the active ingredients. The act essentially banned the sale of over-the-counter medications that contained the active ingredients. (2) Methamphetamine is a highly addictive and powerful stimulant.

How does this abuse affect consumers, producers and individuals in the health care field?

For consumers new state laws have been enacted that require stricter regulation of purchasing these over the counter medications.
