Some cough syrups have elements that are extracted for use in making methamphetamine.

Either you are against all items that are addictive and can do harm or you aren't. The point I see is that it is ridiculous for one substance (alcohol is the perfect example) to be legal for recreational use and another (pot) is not. It is a hypocrisy.
