Right? You can’t even get ear drops that work anymore because all of the ones they stock over the counter are homeopathic where I live.

By my understanding yes, pseudoephedrine was being used for meth so they put it behind the counter and the name brand “Sudafed” made a PE line that was this, phenylephrine, to stay over the counter.

The US Army used to teach shooting similarly to that, minus the hand in the pocket of course.
