This is something literally anyone who was forced into the penylephrine based allergy could tell you. Meanwhile banning an effective drug did nothing to lower meth production.

Where is pseudoephedrine actually banned? It's available everywhere I know of in the US, you just have to show ID to get it.
Not anywhere in the US as far as I know, but even the requirement of showing ID is ridiculous. What has it accomplished? And how many people got tricked into buying the useless stuff that's 10x easier to purchase?
I know it is no longer available in Colombia, prescription or not.
Sorry.

"can no longer be bought without advance planning so that you can get to a pharmacy during open hours and have time to stand in line"

e.g. no real hope if you realize allergy nonsense is happening on the way to or from work

Dude just buy in bulk and keep it on you. Thats what I do. 96 25mg quick release tablets costs like 6 dollars at walmart.
La la la-la la la,

Sing a happy song
