| High street retailer Superdrug
faces court action this week under the terms of the Trade Descriptions Act. The action
follows that medal loss of Alain "Busted" Baxter who claimed that he didn’t
know that a tube of Vick he bought at the Winter Olympics was laced with speed. A
spokesned for Scotland’s recreational drug taking community told the JT that the
Baxter case raised serious issues centring on access to decent gear. "My pal Jaikey
right? His maw went tae Florida right? An' see the chemist shoaps? Fuck man, ye could buy
really good gear right ower the counter an’ ye didn’t need to blag a script or
nuhin’" |
The be-Kappa’d citizen
constrasted this pharmaceutical Elysium with the situation in the UK especially at the
above named retailer. "Super Drug? Shite Drug mair like. It's total pish man.
Aspirins and nappies an a’ that shite. Oh aye and they only sell the non-drowsy
Benylin which is shite as well." Until the UK catches up with the
more adventurous pharmaceutical formulations available in North America, Scots with stuffy
(ahem) noses will need to rely on personal imports of US Vick or, as its also known
"Saltlake City Speedy Special." |
