LEGITIMATE CUSTOMERS MUST PAY FOR DRUG MAKER'S DEEDS

Dear Editor,

I recently had a cold, went to a local pharmacy and had to purchase my
Tylenol cold medicine from behind the counter. I waited for over 20 minutes
for help from the pharmacy staff, then had to go outside, get my driver's
license, come back in, and sign a sheet, print my name, have the staff copy
my driver's license number down, before I could by the medicine.

I realize that this is all for a purpose, with all the Meth Labs and such
around these days. The really ironic thing though is that a couple days
later, I was back at that same pharmacy to pick up some prescriptions for a
friend (that were narcotics), I was not asked for any I.D, did not have to
wait or sign any sheet. Nothing! I was in and out of there in about five
minutes with a bag full of prescription Narcotics.

Does anyone besides me see that things are getting a little out of hand?
And the way that I look at it, these drug makers will find a way to make
their stuff without having to make it with Tylenol Cold medicine. The tax
payer suffers for the drug makers, and things are just a little backwards.
I almost felt like I was doing something wrong by purchasing cold medicine.

Thank You,
