Description

In a series of four frames two men discuss the government ban of over the counter sales of some cold and flu medicines that contain pseudoephedrine that can be used for the making of 'p'. One of the men comments that this seems to penalise law-abiding people and the other decides that it is 'a sort of pseudo-fix'. Pseudoephedrine is the substance used to illegally manufacture 'P'; Prime Minister John Key has announced a package to tackle P that includes restricting access to the chemicals P is produced from by making pseudoephedrine a Class B2 controlled drug, which makes it prescription-only.
