When they outlaw sudafed, only outlaws will have sudafed.
I began my morning by being turned down for the purchase of sudafed at Walmart. No explanation was given. Same thing happened at Meijers.
So I called the Kentucky Drug Control Policy (502-564-9564.) I was informed I had purchased 4.8 grams in the last 30 days. The limit is 9 grams per 30 day period. They could not explain why I was denied.

So I called the FDA (888-463-6332.) Thanks to the FDA, I was able to calculate that a box of twenty, 12 hour sudafeds is equal to 2.4 grams. So by my math, I could purchase 3 boxes per month. Mathematically speaking, there is no reason why I cannot buy it. I have up to 4.2 grams I can buy and only wanted 2.4 grams.
The FDA recommended I called the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy (502-564-7910.) I went through their menu and spoke to someone (Darla) and she gave me a phone number for the company that supports Methcheck.
She explained to me why the law was in place. I told her I don't care about people stupid enough to take drugs that will kill them like crystal meth. Maybe I am unsympathetic, but I really feel there is a level of self-accountability that everyone should have.

So I called the number and got a Spanish recording that immediately hung up on me.
I called the Pharmacy Board back and spoke with Brian. He transferred me to the DEA. Well, he actually put me into a voice mail box that finally directed me to hit "0" for assistance. I was then told there was no assistance available and it told me to hang up and call back.
I called the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy a third time in a row. The connected me to the Kentucky Drug Control Policy (502-564-9564) and I spoke with the lady AGAIN who I first spoke with.

I was not impressed by the lack of competency of the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy because I had to call them 3 times.
Who is accountable? Who do I go to for answers? Why am I having to deal with bureaucratic bullshit to buy sudafed?
Seriously, should it be this hard to find out why I am being denied much less to buy this stuff?
Am I going to be hanging outside of drug stores trying to find people to by me sudafed, next to all the underage kids trying to get adults to buy them alcohol?
I am still waiting for the Drug Control Policy lady to call me back because she needed to call the people at MethCheck to find out why I am being denied.
If we could only make illegally entering our country this hard.
