- tptacek 3y agoThe same company sells both compounds. I don't think this was a huge moneymaker. I think the PE thing was just there to retain the sales that moving Sudafed behind the counter sacrificed. That doesn't make it OK, but it does sort of argue against the idea that the regulation was just a moneymaking scheme.
- amanaplanacanal 3y agoAgree with that. Just more failed war on drugs stuff.
- tptacek 3y agoOnly if you judge the outcome strictly by how many people are consuming meth, but there are other important endpoints to this policy, like "reducing the number of backyard meth labs", which are problems in their own right.
