Yes, it is Federal Law BUT, they can override the "flag" if they know you aren't abusing them. If you use the same pharmacy most of the time, they will usually ignore the "flag" if you have never been known to be a druggie. They obviously didn't want to bother. They SHOULD know there are other signs of abuse besides just the purchase of the cold medicines. It would be different if you bought a half dozen but you ONLY bought a couple. DUH!

Yes, it is Federal Law BUT...

Oklahoma's statute is more comprehensive. All pseudoephedrine HCL products that could be used in meth production can only be sold in pharmacies, kept off of the shelves and you must show ID and sign for it. It has substantially reduced meth labs in the state and Texas and Kansas are in talks with OK to see if the program can be adopted in their locales.

This is NOT an instance of looking for drug abusers, but the makers of meth.
