Dear crystal meth producers:

So it would be really fantastic if you could just stop with the making of the crystal meth. See, the new regulations on pseudoephedrine-containing OTCs has led drug companies to start replacing pseudoephedrine with phenylephrine, which is so totally less effective than pseudoephedrine it's laughable. Particularly annoying is the fact that I cannot find anything that has both pseudoephedrine and acetaminophine in it anymore, so I wind up paying twice as much because I have to buy the acetaminophine separately.

And while I'm actually very against governmental micromanaging anti-drug-abuse regulations like these, I appear to be in the minority on that. Since you're the reason they exist, I guess I can only blame you. So, you know, stop. Your drug use is interfering with my considerably less self-destructive drug use. And while I generally support every individual's right to be as self-destructive as they please, I have to draw the line when it starts to affect, you know, ME.

Most sincerely,
An Annoyed Allergy/Sinus Headache Sufferer and Writer of (never sent) Strongly Worded Letters

Have you tried snorting meth for your sinuses?

It's funny -- when I was young -- like highschool and college years, May was always a miserable month for me becuase of my allergies. Over the years, it got better. Now, it's just a little annoyance, not something I need to medicate.

It's the same old story though -- when I was a kid, you could buy OTC cough medicine with real codeine in it.

I've never been much of a druggie or anything, but I will admit to having taken pseudoephedrine on days when I didn't get enough sleep, was stuffed up as hell, and needed to wake up. I'm also not a regular coffee or soda drinker, and pretty much only drink those things for the caffeine (drug) benefits when needed.

Then there was that one time last year when I made the mistake of taking pseudoephedrine for stuffiness, then met a friend for coffee. This friend was also a beautiful and hilarious woman that I had a big stinkin' crush on. By the time we parted and I was driving home, I was trying not to jump out of my skin and spontaneously combust all over the inside of my car.
