I think it was two years ago now that the organised attack on self-detox tools by tools like the warmonger fascist mafioso pig-fucker US Senator Tom Cotton (Republican, Arkansas), spokespeople of the multi-billion dollar rehab racket and others turned their attention to loperamide and I wondered what would happen . . . I remember Amazon.com and WalMart being particularly craven and on the other hand the sustained attack on MacNeil Inc, makers of 200-count bottles of Imodium®, took about a month and a half before they caved . . . a lot of retailers jacked up the price, put loperamide behind the counter, stopped making/carrying any package bigger than 48 tablets and almost all of their bottles, so that most of the packages are the very environmentally-unfriendly and wasteful (and even less friendly to those with arthritis) blister packs that would incense a European pharmaceutical factory owner . . . All of this so that more people are forced into rehab at five or six figures a pop with a 98 per cent plus chance of failure, which doesn't really bother the gangsters because they have another infusion of dough coming from that patient' case when they are forced to come back . . .
Admittedly, it is very hard to use this medication safely as "poor people's methadone" but it can work in a pinch for a short time, and it takes much less than some people have been talking about using. If I were in that situation, I would only consider it if supply were an insoluble problem with poppy seeds and CWE-able codeine or DHC and kratom were not available or prohibitively expensive. Tianeptine helps too but usually needs to be used along with one of the above. Poppy seeds really cannot be "washed" in any meaningful way -- look at other threads I have contributed to about this. Fuck you, Senator Cotton, and everyone who looks like you -- you and Senator Manchin (Democrat, West Virginia) are going down in 2020 just like the lying craven gangster-lover Ayotte did in 2016 . . .
I was talking to a pharmacist in the States who was helping outfit members there of a group of about 50 of us who are going to Madagascar for the elections, and I was amazed, at first, with what she told me -- the digestive section of her pharmacy looks like a war zone by mid-morning and the loperamide section is as clean as a whistle (empty) by lunchtime -- to the frustration of customers with diarrhoea of whatever aetiology who come in later . . . there are people who come in and purchase large numbers of boxes of 12, 24, 48 tablets of the stuff and others who have to settle for the boxes of 6, all of which she is glad to sell to them unlike in some places, or they outright steal it. She is moving five times as much as she used to but is not that happy about it for the above reasons, the "inventory shrinkage" being especially galling and her reason for reluctantly applying a 12 per cent price increase to all digestive items.
There are large retailers and department stores whose problems with this are worse, but the upshot is, the consumer gets shat on by regulators and arseholes like the people who started this. The banning of kratom and large retailers buying the lies about poppy seeds about the same time caused a real crunch at one point including a huge spike in shoplifting. Shame. I guess one could call the shoplifting political terrorism or civil disobedience, but all retailers have an account in their general ledger for "inventory shrinkage" -- I really am not sure they get the point, and the mom & pop and regional chains didn't do this. I even noticed right before I left the US because of all of this "opioid cri$i$" terrorism by the government and what they do to doctors that Walgreens had been running a fire sale on 96 and 200-count bottles, even 2-for-1 sales, of loperamide for close to a year including some very lucrative coupons in the Sunday newspaper supplements. Way to split the baby, folks. Do they still carry those there, or is it like everywhere else now?
