Local drug law
A law aimed to curb the production of Meth in Tennessee is about to become law. The bill would require certain cold medicines be kept behind the counters at the pharmacy.
Sounds like a decent idea, I suppose. However, I’d say this could lead to more pharmacies being robbed at gunpoint.

I think you also have to show ID and sign a log to purchase the drug. I just hope that no meth addicts grab the log from behind the counter. They would then have a list of all the people who have bought it. That would not be good.

They have a similar law in WA…sudafed behind tha counter, and you can only buy 4 boxes at a time, IIRC.
My wife used to work at a Rite-Aid. She said she’d frequently she groups of 3-4 guys come in the store, trying hard not to look like they were a group, meander separately through the store, come to the counter one at a time, buy the 4 packs, and leave. Then they’d go around the corner and all get picked up by the same car. Doubltess they then drove to the next drugstore down the road and did the same thing.
