I told my wife about it, and she was saying that in some states, they’re doing the same thing with DRAINO!! WTH?? DRAINO?

I’m starting to realize that I’m living in a bubble...I’m seriously disconnected from what’s going on. The Walmart employee was surprised that I was shocked at having to have my ID run for allergy meds. She was looking at me like I had two heads! Lol
Years ago I had to show my license (Georgia) to buy some cough medicine but hasn't happened since.

You can thank all the freaks out there making meth at home for it.

Personally, I avoid Walmart. I haven't bought anything there in maybe a decade. So maybe you should switch to another source. I've never been asked for that. Why didn't you ask, Why do you want my license? I've certainly refused mine. And what would they have done if you didn't have a drivers' license?

However, that said, I know there are some medications that are experiencing a crack-down because they'd been co-opted for illegalities.

I prefer to hang it all on the politicians and their idiotic war on drugs. If someone wants to make meth out of whatever, its no one elses business.

I agree. It definitely seems to be pretty lame to me.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Meth production will continue unabated as long as the demand remains strong.

The OP does live in Arizona. He hasn’t stated that Detroit is better than Arizona.

It appears the OP hit one of your nerves.

I get a couple of sinus infections every year and Actifed was the only thing that really worked. It's been gone for probably ten years. Sudafed doesn't quite cut it, neither does Claritin. I dread cold and flu season now. Thanks stupid druggies and politicians.

It's almost as bad just to buy a can of spray paint.

The guy sees me post anything, he immediately starts up with the bullhockey. Don’t know who pyssed in his Wheaties.

He’s only been in Arizona for 2 hours, and acts as if he’s some expert on the state just because he slipped and fell down with his ass landing on a prickly pear cactus.

I bought some spray paint at Ace about a year ago. They didn’t say anything, but it could be because I’m in there at least once every two weeks to either buy some miscellaneous household item or to exchange my 5 gallon water bottles. Pretty much the same people have worked there for the last 15 years so there’s a familiarity.

Supposedly, stores are cracking down on glue sales too. Lotta rigmarole going down these days just to keep folks from getting high. The United States has gotta get off of this obsession to stop folks from getting stoned. It’s ridiculous.
