Drugstore group supports enhanced pseudoephedrine law

Much has been written here about the pseudoephedrine law that was written into the Patriot Act renewal. This law is one of the biggest failures in modern American legislative history.

So what's Congress's answer? Instead of repealing this law like they should, they instead introduce a bipartisan bill to make it stiffer - by forcing stores that sell pseudophedrine allergy drugs to register with the corrupt DEA and be certified to enforce the existing law.

All for an insane War on Drugs that has never been effective.

You'd think no drugstore in its right mind would support this - yet the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, which represents major pharmacy chains, does. It's a "war" on "drugs", you see.

Big Business and Big Government are kind of like a two-headed hydra. They'll cooperate with each other unflinchingly. The major drugstores probably support this bill because it may force the shutdown of small, independent pharmacies that might not be able to be certified or don't have as much clout.

The Far Right is reaching out its invisible hands to touch you.
