After 2 towns in Missouri (Washington and Union) decided to defy federal law by making over-the-counter allergy drugs available by prescription only, the eastern Missouri chapter of the ACLU took notice.
This ridiculous, idiotic crackdown on these drugs hurts only innocent people, and the ACLU is now warning of a lawsuit against these 2 cities.
The only thing in this story I disagree with the ACLU about is an ACLU official's claim that these ordinances have "good intentions." I honestly don't think these ordinances do have good intentions.
At minimum, the original crackdown in the mid-2000s didn't. A Republican lawmaker in another state who led this effort was probably making meth himself and was just trying to use the new laws as a price support for his meth labs.
