I used to buy that shit at a gas station to help me stay awake on an overnight solo shift. Didn’t always work but it’s weird falling asleep with a heart rate of 100 bpm. It was in appetite suppressants, weightlifting formulas, and of course cold meds, but you could get a bottle of 50 for a few bucks and bypass all the markup for the specific products.

I get it’s to fight meth, and it did lead to a few non-meth deaths being totally unregulated, but having to pay $30 for a 24 pack of Mucinex is fucking highway robbery and people barely even know it.

ye gods I miss Mini-thins. Used to buy those at 7-11 when heading out on a road trip. Ephedrine FTW.
