What do you think...
Are we going to far by making over the counter drugs, now requiring a doctors notice, a sighn up sheet and paying 25 bucks just to get them for their original use?

Who's "we"? As in, where is this done? Around here the only thing done was having to ask for certain over the counter drugs (cold medicines in pill form) from a phamacist or clerk. And even that isn't the case anymore.

Although, if you don't want to give your location, that's okay. But I think this is something that varies by state in the US, and of course other countries would make their own rules as well.

In my state (Colorado) you don't have to do any of that. You just go to the counter and ask for it. I think they may force you to pay for it at the counter there, but that's no different than what Walmart does for video games.

Statist pigs suck.

It's none of their business what a person puts in one's body unless said person hurts other people.

I agree with this statement mostly. Even if said person does hurt other people its none of their business what they had put into their body. The only thing that really matters, is that they hurt someone. What they put in their body is irrelevant. People need to make their own judgement about what they should or should not ingest. If they make a poor judgement call and end up breaking the law that's their own fault imo.
