Think before you sneeze

They�re at it again, folks. The uplifters, the prohibitionists, the pious, that is. I�ve talked so much about drugs that everyone knows where I stand. But this is unbelievable. This is what we get for living in a society with its head wedged squarely up its collective ass.
Honestly. If they can whip cold medications, a perfectly legal product, off the shelf and behind lock-and-key�making us beg for something to stop the sniffles�they�re perfectly capable of coming after your coffee maker next. After all, to be truly effective as a good, patriotic, working American, you must operate as miserably as those who set our drug policies. Need caffeine to get through the day? Tough. It�s a drug. The sooner you face your addiction, the better off you�ll be. Trust us. We�ll throw you in jail if you don�t. Twenty years, buster.
When it comes to deceiving the public on the true facts about drugs, America could reap rewards. I can just imagine some DARE mommy grieving, �I tried to stop my baby from taking that pseudoephedrine tablet, but he insisted: �Mom, I�ve got to go to work.� Oh, if only we had greater sick benefits in this country, he could have had the day off. I mean, he had a stuffy nose and a bit of a headache, for God�s sake! And it was that cold medication that led to his trying that joint, I just know it! Oh, my God! Oh the horror! Bless his heart, he was only seventeen!�
Thank you, Nanny State and Big Daddy Government, for handing down to us irresponsible peons yet another edict. Gee, aren�t you glad to be an American taxypayer?
Cold medications: The next front in this lunatic war on drugs. Now I have truly seen everything.
