just from your experience?

Yes. Pseudephedrine works quicker and longer for me.

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. My experience, along with everyone in my family and everyone I know. Some of them didn't even know the formulation had changed; they just noticed the same brand didn't work as well as it used to.

Whew, I dunno Kevin...I do see what you mean though in that context, but lets say you purchase this "thing"...

And that thing is stolen property???

What if you purchase this "thing" from a licensed dealer, and it turns out to be stolen?

You took a logical leap there that's not warranted. I wasn't speaking about rightful ownership, only legal possession. If it's stolen, the seller's age doesn't matter. If it's legal, then again the seller's age doesn't matter.

And again, I'd run this past the father before assuming the son was legit.

I beg to differ... phenylephedrine is not just as good as pseudoephedrine. The "War on cold medicine" has not reduced meth usage one bit, although it has reduced homegrown drug labs. Instead, users have to buy a purer, more potent version imported from Mexico, called "Ice".

It's the same result whenever prohibition is tried: outlawing beer by the Volstead act turned millions to rotgut whiskey (blinding hundreds and killing thousands). Cracking down on cocaine led to the creation of crack. Cracking down on over-the-counter cold medicines led to the creation of Ice.

And meanwhile, allergies are kicking my butt.

Back to the original topic: yes, it's perfectly legal to buy a handgun from someone under 21, or even from someone under 18 who may not legally possess it. Their status doesn't affect your legal status in purchasing it.

But in the situation described, I definitely wouldn't purchase it without talking to the young man's father.
