The Des Moines Register’s Reader’s Watchdog tells the rather predictable tale of anti-meth zealotry run amok, as a 50-year-old farmer’s wife faces trial for buying too much pseudoephedrine at a Walgreens in the small town of Ottumwa, Iowa. Of note, even though she bought a lot of allergy pills, she actually didn’t break Iowa law. Yet she could still face a 25-year sentence for a conspiracy “with one or more persons to manufacture, deliver or possess with intent to deliver ... a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine.”
Well, you know. She didn't actually break the law... but the Authorities (TM) think that she might. So she's arrested and charged anyways.
You don't have a problem with that, do you? Because you know... having a problem with that isn't against the law.
Just like buying allergy medicine isn't against the law.
Kind of.
You know what you can still buy without getting arrested, don't you?
Rope.
