So.... Today I decided to try and find some PG in the Vaal Triangle. Went to 3 different Dischem's ( Vaal Mall, President Square and Three Rivers), two Clicks' Pharmacies and all 3 of the local pharmacies in town. Got looked at as if I was a druggy trying to score a hit. NO ONE knew what the hell I was talking about. At the "elite" pharmacy in Sasolburg there was the usual Afrikaner omie in his khakis just hanging on the counter, talking sh...t and not really doing business. He schemed it was a good idea to interfere with my inquiry and reckoned me "THAT IS A CHEMICAL USED BY FACTORIES". I politely told him that he was thinking of diethylene glycol, which we also use as an anti-freeze in our big chiller units. He remained adamant and I ignored it. Then, the pharmacist didn't know what a tincture was when I explained that pharmacists use PG to make tinctures.....
I kept getting answers in English, even though I spoke Afrikaans and they spoke Afrikaans among themselves. I guess if you have earrings and you're a "druggie" you have to be English
Eventually even the pharmacist told me that they sell medicine, not chemicals. I "tried" to be polite and point out that ALL medicines are in fact, chemicals. Needless to say, I will never try to buy PG in the Vaal again!
Hats off to our vendors on here who had to go through all this hassle to get the stuff we need to make our happy clouds
