(51,308 posts)I bought some yesterday. Im a longtime allergy sufferer, so Im sure glad they dont follow that law here.
Nothing is locked up, and Ive never had to show ID to buy it.

(3,473 posts)that doesnt have the same restrictions. It uses phenylephrine and it is not as effective. Are you sure you are not buying that one?

Hmmm, maybe thats why it never seems to work anymore!

(3,473 posts)I also have allergies. If that is the case, you will definitely tell the difference when you get the right one.

The right takes a hard, simplistic position on their issues and repeats it over and over without equivocation until people accept it as fact. The left can see everything as nuanced and debatable until they have lost all ground. Then change is not "practical."
Follow the threads, you will see it in here...
Ban assault weapons period!

(34,170 posts)To buy Sudafed in most states, you only need a state-issued ID to buy from a regulated seller (i.e., pharmacist).
To buy handguns and rifles (even semi-automatic rifles) you need state ID and have a national-level background check completed to buy from a regulated seller (i.e., FFL gun dealer).
In some states, you can buy either from your intra-state neighbors without the IDs and background checks because they are not regulated sellers.

Oh well, you can still get pseudophed by signing something. But not too much.
And for extra energy, I'll drink a Monster a couple times a week.

(2,919 posts)Sudafed, go to pharm window, show ID, computer check done, get med, leave window. Less than 3 minutes normally.
Buy a rifle, go to FFL, fill out multi-page form, sign/date form, phone call made, go back 24 hours later, sign/date form again, NOW can leave with rifle. Handgun is 3 days.
