No wonder it’s illegal.

I wonder how much meth is made from one 30mg tablet of Sudafed. According to the newspaper, which is completely suspect, most meth is trucked in from Mexico, but the Oregon State Legislature was afraid enough of OTC Sudafed to make it a prescription drug. I can’t believe a 24-blister pack of the Sudafed is going to make any significant amount of methamphetamine. But what do I know?

I had to leave work early today because of my worsening head cold. I tried taking a Claritin earlier, but that didn’t do all that much. I just drove home 1 1/2 hours early and went to bed before dinner. So imagine I had some Sudafed squirreled away, from long ago, and I took the standard dose (60mg) before dinner. It would have cleared my head and made me feel much better, but also would have made me much crankier as well. And since my current job involves talking to outside customers, my current “surly” demeanor would probably be downgraded to “outright hostile.” I’m not taking the stuff (assuming I have it) while I’m working.

So there you have it: Head Cold 1, Me 0.
