As a daily Claritin user, I can tell you it is a major inconvenience to stand in line to fill out a log to buy something that I should just be able to pick up off the counter. This is just another example of inept legislation without much thought to enforcement or use of the resulting information. Selfishly, though, I wish someone would just read the law to local druggists. They seem to believe they can only sell two packages of 10 pills per transaction, rather than the two 15-pill packages I need to get a one-month supply. It sure would save legitimate users a lot of unnecessary trips to the drug store. Surely they don't limit us to increase the number of visits so they can sell us something else on the extra trips? That would really tick me off. Charles Ingram, Dallas - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
