      To add to that about 10-15 years ago it became more common knowledge so laws were enacted to limit it since it was OTC. I was pissed at the time because the calculations didn’t account for 31 day months, so I’d have to go a day without it because of some meth makers.

      Pseudoephedrine is the main ingredient in meth. Kid Rock aficionados know how many Sudafed they can legally buy at a single pharmacy so they can then go home and cook up some crank.
