Sometimes you got to admire the whole Freedom thing in the US of A. 3

I'm Dutch, I live in the Netherlands.
This morning I had a wonderful plan: give Dextromethorphan a chance, at 800mg.
That was the plan.
I knew that pharmacies used to carry a big bottle of cough syrup that used to carry exactly that to a bottle.
I looked on the Internet.
No such thing, it had been discontinued. Currently the going brand was a box of 10 capsules of 29.5mg DXM TIME RELEASED which bore the ominous brand name DARO RETARD (slang translation "up there, retard!") for the fucking price of about $10. Can you imagine the horror? It was a nonprescription drug thank god. Two boxes. 590mg of DXM HBr for fucking 20 dollars. Fucking price gouging fuckers. That is 20 cents of drug, calculated as the HBr AND Time released.
Holy crap. But I never had DXM at that dose and I want to give the kids proper advice on how to get high on DXM so yes, I was going to shell out the 20 bucks, truly for science, get the drug, grind the time release pellets and make tea thereof like I was doing an opiate extraction and doing it like that. I was probably gonna puke because of the additives but thats what the n00bs do so heck, I was going to get the authentic experience like I was not 43 but 13, and craving heady dr00gz.
That was the modified plan.
I bicycled over in the early morning with a plan.
If they were to ask (the fuckers do) I was going to say it was for my wife who had been coughing all night, since I obviously wasnt hacking a cough.
Solid right?
NO!
I came there, got two boxes and headed for the counter. The... apothecary assistant... didnt get behind the cash register but behind the COMPUTER.
A nonprescription medicine.
I told the rigmarole.
"My wife has been coughing all night. Damn cigarettes she should quit. Yes yes, nonproductive dry cough. She should just quit, yewh yeah, yeah probably a cold. You could say its half fpor her nd half for my good nights sleep, hehe."
"Can't you take ONE box? Why two?"
Ex fucking cuse me what? OTC medicine? I gave not a peep.
"She says it always takes two boxes with a flu, so I get two." (it would, price gouging fuckers)
"What is her NAME?"

"Marguerite Blabla." (bogus but credible name"
Her fingers rattle it into the computer.
"Date of birth?"
Date of fucking what you pill counting piece of suck?
"Bogus DOB"
*Rattles. Looks at me.*
"She isn't known here."
I'm 43 years old, impeccably dressed, short hair, clean shaven, entirely nonsuspect mind you.
Wanna play it like THAT with me?
*slightly annoyed* "I didnt know an OTC drug needed to be purchased in ones own pharmacy. I just went to the nearest one on my bicycle. Odd that she isnt registered here, I'll go ask her about her pharmacy."
"You go do that sir, have a good day."
I cursed out loud on my bicycle on the ride home. I was just blown away at the unbelievable audacity, the arrogance regarding all of this, from the glorified licenced pill counter from a pharmacy that didnt even compound prescription medicines anymore.
I got home and announced to my Nkondi:
"Marguarite, honey, looks like you'll be coughing for a few nights more because they only had suppositories which they could stick UP THERE, RETARD, and now please excuse my while I order a quarter gram of gray market PCP analog off the god damned Internet for the exact same price."
"Will that help my cough dearest?" my Nkondi spirit joked and I laughed it off all the way to my RC vendor.
People. PEOPLE.
You Americans can buy fucking pump action twelve gouge shotguns at Walmart and I cant buy two boxes of overpriced TIME RELEASED non opiate OTC cough medicine at a pharmacy.
Its a good thing I can't buy a fucking pump action twelve gouge shotgun because I was in the mood for some rock and roll 
Christ almighty.
I hope it was at least an entertaining read.
It really went down like this.
I didnt of course swear like a Trump supporter on election day but, all the dialogue was real.
That freedo m shit you guys got.. I sometimes mock that but, don't ever lose that guys. Fuck yea.

Fuck yeah merica!
Seriously though, that's really shitty. Fuck that pharmacy asshole. You should buy one box from one place and one box from another, and in both cases say the cough is yours (because they can't prove that you don't have a cough). Or just get it on Amazon or something if you can. Or pure on DNM.
DXM is really shitty though, I do not recommend it.

I loved dxm back in high school then after about 12 trips my body didn't like the load, stomach pain, sweats, extremely violent bowel movements killed it for me.
Used to love swimming on a high 2nd plateau. Water felt soooo good

I'm never setting foot in a pharmacy again without a prescription. I'm not sponsoring that BS.
This really slighted me.
I'm actually a bit offended. When you are young or old you can expect people patronizing you a bit because of age. I'm smack in the middle. Nonsuspect. Intelligent. One of the perks of being a not so young adult is that you dont get bullshit like this. This is a honor thing. 
I'm not 13 I'm a 43yo adult and a customer. I am King dammit, I order 100 grams of MXE off the internet like it aint shit I don't have to suck dick over cough medicine

It's kinda similar here in Canada for codeine. Tylenol 1 is "over the counter" in the sense that you don't need a prescription, but in practice it's behind the counter and you have to talk to the pharmacist to get it. I don't think they go to that kind of extreme (name/DOB etc) but I could be wrong, never had occasion to buy it myself.

Yes but thats codeine. Codeine is a sneeze away from morphine and heroin, the worst of the worst addictibve drugs.
This is a safe cough medicine for children which acts as a dissociative at ten times the prescription dose. Its less of a drug than a pocket bottle of gin.

In the states there are similar, local restrictions. Many pharmacies voluntarily place DXM in "behind the counter" status.

Here in California it's just sitting on most store shelves. Sometimes I still get a little nauseous walking past it.

Were you wearing a wedding ring?
You said the Medicine was for your wife, if you weren't wearing a wedding ring the person behind the counter knew you were lying right off the bat.
Should have said it was for your mom/child.

You can order pure DXM online, if you really want to try it that badly
I have O-PCE and 3-MeO-PCE that I misplaced when moving to a new apartment. Hopefully it turns up

Let me get this straight, the Netherlands, aka Holland, is controlling DXM sales?
WTF! 
They have legal weed and legal shrooms (still, i believe) but DXM is controlled? wow....
Come to 'Merica Asante, its legality is calling your name.....
