One ton is equivalent to:

2205 lb (to four significant digits)
98.42% of a long ton
One long ton (2,240 lb) is 101.605% of a tonne
110.23% of a short ton
One short ton (2,000 lb) is 90.72% of a tonne

#7 200 tons? The little box of generic decongestant that I had to give my name, address and show photo id to buy contained 720 milligrams of pseudoephedrine HCl. Yeah, less than a gram. Compared to that, 200 tons is, let's see... divide by...carry the one...it's a whole *bleep*ing *bleep*load.

#8 The little box of generic decongestant that I had to give my name, address and show photo id to buy contained 720 milligrams of pseudoephedrine HCl

But have you noticed how meth production has plummeted since they put that regulation in place?

Didn't think so.

#9 I live in Missouri and have noticed that there are MANY fewer events over the past year where some dingdong has brewed up some sort of crank in their bathtub and blown up their house.

The local constraints on the sale of cold medicine have made buying cheap Mexican drugs more appealing to whacked out losers than making their own.

This has protected untold numbers of children, firefighters and policeman from exposure to hazardous situations.

I say this is great. Stopping whacked out losers from using drugs is a fools errand. Stopping whacked out losers from messing about with toxic chemicals and explosives is the work of angels.
