This whole showing ID for allergy drugs is beyond stupid. I don't care about the meth addicts. If meth addicts are that stupid that they want to screw up their lives, I say let them.

It's not that I don't have empathy for drug addicts, but if you choose to put harmful substances in your system, why should responsible people like myself have to suffer because of your stupid choices? I care about one thing and one thing only: relieving my allergies. As an American and as a taxpayer, I want to allergies dealt with without stuid people making it more complicated.
