But they would have profited anyway with the pseudoephedrine tablets.

I understand they're an effective treatment, the problem I see is that they end up in the wrong hands and pharmacies end up being broken into.

In NZ we've had a problem in the past couple years of people doing "ram raids" which is basically people stealing cars and smashing them through buildings to steal things as well.

Taking everything into account, to me it seems the downsides outweigh the upsides of selling these tablets.
