Discontinue or Securely Lock Away Coricidin Cough and Cold Medicine

The Issue

Coricidin also known by its various street names Triple C's, Dex, Red Devils, Skittles, and Orange Crush, when abused/taken in high dosages leads to extreme states of hallucination. My sister has been abusing this particular NON PRESCRIPTION drug as early as 2005. Presently she is lost in a twisted sense of reality and has acted out violently multiple times while on the affects of the drug. She is legally an adult and that makes it extremely difficult to monitor her and her addiction, but what makes it more excruciatingly frustrating is that this pill that she's been abusing is so accessible. One of the known sources for her drug addiction is Ralphs Grocery but I'm sure there are other stores that carry the cough medicine on open shelves. In effort to serve my sister justice and other addicts on Coricidn we should ban or lock up this product in ALL stores that carry it.
