Restricting the sale of Sudafed is an effort to curb drug use by making production harder. Why not apply the curb to the paraphernalia used to take the drugs too? Sudafed access affects everyone, good or evil. Crack pipe access only affects the crack users. Ron Leurquin Nokomis East

If someone wants to use crack they're going to find a way to do it whether it is with tin foil and a straw or with a light bulb. Now if you could buy crack at your local neighborhood store that might be something to take issue with. I don't think hiding paraphernalia is going to lessen the use of crack. It's not addressing the actual issue of drug use. Also, it's not the same as restricting the sale of sudafed (or at least tracking its sale) because that is used to make the actual illegal substance. And you can still easily buy it, it's you can't buy massive quantities of it all at once. REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
