A few folks died trying to get high on immodium AD. FDA looking into restricting access to the drug to protect the rest of the 380,000,000 Americans from the scrouge of Immodium AD.

Looks like we might see a war on anti diarrhea Pills.


"Immodium AD death epidemic, more at 11"

You can get high on Imodium?

380 million Americans could litterally give a shit about this.

Immodium always makes me feel better. I didn't know I was high. I thought it was because I wasn't an upside-down volcano anymore.

Soon you will need to present an id and be limited to one bottle a year and be put on the DHS database.

 

[WelshBloke]

I couldn't give a shit.

People try to get high on damn near anything, including snorting Viagra and whatever else you can think of including other off-use medicines or old over-the-counter standbys like Dramamine and nasal sprays (Afrin, etc.) and food products like nutmeg.

For the medical effect you can substitute immodium AD for short bread cookies or ritz crackers.

I always try to moderate my Immodium AD intake with a steady supply of Yuengling.

This is one of those examples of why I hate it when idiots say "if we could save even 1 life by doing this, it's worth it!". No, just because you could save one life doing something does not mean it's automatically worth it. Sometimes you just have to understand that stupid people are going to do stupid things, and you can't protect everyone from themselves all the time -- nor should you try.

380 million? Is that like the population of all 57 states?
