Barbour signed HB 512
- Thread starter davatron
- Start date
I was skeptical at first but I have family in the legislature and was able to see the data that they used for forming the bill and how it works once in place. I also have had some of my soldiers that got caught up in meth and was amazed at how they were able get the ingredients even with current restrictions in place. There is an unreal meth problem in our state.
Meth is a moneymaker, and you don't think that these guys are going to be going across state lines to get some stuff? that's ridiculous. I'm just happy I live next to Memphis, and I don't have to worry about this crap.<div>
</div><div>I've been a Barbour supporter, but I'll never vote for him again. How can you take a stand for less spending yet pass a bill that would send me to a doctor over a cold. </div>

over some inconvenience regarding the new prescription requirement but that has to be weighed against what is an even larger cost of law enforcement, rehab costs for "methed out" inmates and social services. Other states are following suit regarding this issue. This one where Mississippi is taking the lead. We aren't the first and definitely will not be the last.
If people knew how 17ed up meth is, they wouldn't use it. Don't believe me? Look...

All it took was a well-done publicity campaign. No we're-taking-your-cold-meds-away ********.
States like Oregon that simply took away cold meds saw a decrease in meth lab busts, but not a decrease in meth use. Meth labs just turned to other means which were harder to bust since guys didn't have to go from store to store buying a pack or few of cold meds at a time.

Yup, just another item to run up healthcare cost for the average consumer. But I go in for annual check ups anyway, so I will be sure to get a prescription then.dawgatUSM said:
we have a problem with that in this state also. If we can just outlaw it and make it go away that would be awesome!
Sorry, but we don't need government to protect us from ourselves. All this will do is create a black market for these medications.
This and the state halting St. Dominic's from building in Madison are two absolutely perfect examples of how government intervention have created the health-care problems in this nation, yet we are told the government needs to come along and fix it because greedy doctors are at fault.
This bill will backfire. If I had to guess, the next piece of legislation will grant free doctor visits to people that make less than $X a month so they can buy Sudafed and Claritin. This will probably cause the cost of a doctor visit to go up, which will again screw us over. Then the state will again tell us how greedy, evil doctor's are taking advantage of us. What a load of ********.
I wrote my state legislator after it passed the house and told him to update their resume. Hopefully everyone else will do the same.

At the end of the day, politicians are self preservationists. The only thing they fear is losing the next election.
to know no bounds, I would think you would love those guys. Spend 75% on classroom instruction? Hell, no. Dead in committee. Consolidate school districts, at least one of which has only one school? Hell, no. Dead in committee.
Those guys should be your freakin' heroes.

I'd gladly pay for more law enforcement, and just give inmates an unlimited supply of meth so they can kill themselves as quickly or as slowly as they want to.
I'm more proud of the fact that we've taken the lead on teen pregnancy than taking the lead in this ********. No <17>ing excuse for this.
the money that is wasted across this state in higher education is ungodly. If we ever get a legislature to serve the big picture in higher education, there would never be a need for any four-year school to suffer a budget crunch. </p>
Also, after looking by the rest of the pictures, it appears meth actually helps balding men to re-grow hair.... who knew?
is pseudoephedrine really that big of a deal? It's not like it's the main ingredient of cold medicine. It's just a nasal decongestant, and it's already often substituted with phenylephrine. I would understand the uproar if this law applied to acetaminophen or ibuprofen or dextromethorphan, but I don't see what the big deal is about not being able to get pseudoephedrine.
My understanding of pharmacy comes completely from Wikipedia, so someone who understands this better can correct me if I'm wrong.

just take some tylenol and enjoy the sick day. How much of this **** do yall take anyway? I'm a whiny bastard, but when i get sick i'm never clamoring for some sudafed.... i just blow my nose and take a nap (and some tylenol if i have a fever). Quit trying to be Billy Badass by "playing through" the cold with the help of pseudoephedrine (which includes an amphetimine-like stimulant). All you really accomplish is spreading the cold to everyone you see.
If your taking it for your bad allergies, then you probably could use the doctor visit anyway.

It's not that other ways are available for clearing out your nose, it's that the Legislature, in its esteemed wisdom, has now made it harder for law-abiding citizens to treat their sniffles. The crank-heads will toke on, unfazed.
Hopefully the government can take away everything we have so we can totally rely on the government.
Drug dealers also use laxatives to cut cocaine. Why don't they take laxatives off the shelf?
Oh and while we're protecting people from themselves, let's take beer, cigarettes, butter, and sugar off the shelves as well.
makes me sick. This is disgusting.
