I suffer from chronic sinusitis, had sinus surgery last week. I have to buy pseudephedrine every two weeks or so and I am made to feel like a criminal every time I do. Thanks so much big brother for again treating lawful citizens like criminals.

Naturally the convenience stores expanded their selections, and the grocery stores cried foul.

The Trondheim police were not as enthusiastic about enforcing these laws as the Frankfurt city inspector in the NYT story. They let the stores know that as long as they didn’t sell alcohol outside official store hours, enforcing this law was a low priority. You’d walk into a grocery store after 8pm on a weekday, after 6pm on a Saturday, or anytime on Sunday, and there would be tarps covering all the beer and wine.
