To deal with my current cold I purchased some NyQuil D a super-hardcore night time cold medicine. Because it contains alcohol (10%) and pseudoephedrine I had to show ID and sign something informing me of the penalties (jailtime and fine) if I sell it to minors. I also purchased some straight 120mg time-release capsules for daytime use.
After taking the NyQuil I ate some Hungry Howie’s Cajun Bread along with a beer. I’m now quite, quite tired and ready for bed. The beer may not have been the best idea as the medication already contained alcohol (which, oddly, is not listed as an active ingredient), but I don’t think that just one will do anything more than contribute to the feelings of sleepyness.
I had this exact conversation in a Manhattan CVS. And I said, “If I were running a meth lab, I’d do it someplace with low rent and discount drug stores. This is an unrealistic enforcement situation.”
Apparently, the big drugstores have made this a company policy. But the clerk was unaware that the cough syrup was used as a meth ingredient/precursor.
