don't you guys have enhanced ID because up here in Canada my current Driver License is RFID Chipped and ebhabced has 3D imaging with ny picture laser etiched into it and all these tiny holograms that show my DOB even have a secure tamper proof outer coating


And if I lose it then I need my original B.C. govronment issued Birth Certificate and either my current valid passport or Govronment issued card card and 1 other offical form of picture ID to get another Drivers license.

Pretty much is proof that I am me and that I was born in 82 and in B.C. and am 100% Canadian born.

On top of that, new law is basically you have to convince the Pharmacy you need it if you want it.

So If my chronic sinusitis kicks in, I am just eating hot wings instead of begging to be able to spend my money on some sudafed.


Allergy med purchases have extra layer security beginning Jan. 1 | TriCities.com
I canada we sell 100% pure ephidrine as energy pills which is a banned in the states and illegal to posses but my local GNC sells it as a weightloss pill but if you buy case loads well then you are flagged as a person who maybe the Local police deparment should look into we also allow the sale of codiene but a maxium of 8mg per pill and has to ahve 200mg of tylenol and 8Mg caffine. so to use them to get high from you would have liver failure before you could get a buzz from a overdose of Acetaminophen.

I guess Canada say sure you can have it but we would rather you die of liver failure than get a some type of a on high narcotic opiate based painkillers.

Maybe we need a new law that requires all politicians to be sterilized... then at least they will stop breeding.



Buying a bottle of Drano won’t be the same in Illinois beginning Sunday.
A new state law requires customers purchasing products containing sodium hydroxide, or lye, and other corrosive chemicals to show a legitimate photo ID and to write their name, address and date of birth. And the store clerk will log the time and date of purchase.
Intrusive? Illinois lawmakers said Friday they agree that regulating drain cleaners and other products is needed to protect the public from those who may use them to harm.
“The fact of the matter is there are evil people in the world who will abuse the most normal, everyday household products for sinister aims,” Illinois Rep. Rich Morthland, R-Cordova, said.

Is there a ban on wood ash and rain water? Just curious.

God bless those Democrats, always out to save us from ourselves. So what if only 1 out of every 900,000 people who buy Drano will use it to make a drug - clearly this is an epidemic that needs addressed, and the inconvenience anyone with a clogged shower faces going forward is a small price to pay to make it appear to be combatting nefarious individuals while doing nothing of the sort.

What increased cost? Is Drano such a fast-selling product that checking IDs is going to cut in business bottom line that much?

Thank, Frank, THINK!

Start really punishing criminals, and the activity will begin to decrease.

The certainty of getting caught is a much bigger deterrent than the severity of the penalty.
