Yep. Just another means to control the populace and extract more money out of them.

Look at programs like MethCheck, putting pseudoephedrine products behind the counter and putting a limit on purchasing…requiring ID to purchase.

So now we’ve got:

• A limit on how much Sudafed we can buy (without a prescription, which is it’s own level of bullshit because now you gotta see a doctor)
• A requirement to have valid state-issued ID to purchase medicine.
• Phenylephrine, a glorified placebo, taking over all cold medicine.
• Poor people can’t steal medicine (I see this as a con)
• Smurfs.
• Just as much meth.
