The left is obsessing about guns and J6, but in the meantime they are allowing dangerous drugs and hundreds of thousands of babies killed to occur. Now they are also trying to start a half dozen wars, destroy the oil economy and allow an invasion of our borders.

Here's something interesting, which people forget about California. In 2006, California enacted a law which put pseudoephedrine, the active ingredient in Sudafed, behind the counter and limited purchases to 10 days supply. They told us this was to combat methamphetamine production. They claimed that it's availability was driving the manufacturing, since it could be used as a raw ingredient.

Yet.... nearly 10 years later, what are the results? Meth use has continued to increase, along with all other drugs. So who was punished? We, the general public, were punished. Psuedophedrine is the most highly effective decongestant on the market, and recent data shows it may be the safest as well. Recent data is emerging which has shown these products (eg phenylephrine, etc.) to be both, ineffective and dangerous. Many of these products are being removed from store shelves. But where is the government outrage? They're not giving us more access to the safe and effective alternative which is already available. Meanwhile, marijuana use continues to be promoted by the California government, with no oversight or evidence based medical principles.
