I know this is a nuisance, I've had to buy as well but here in Missouri meth production was rampant and has been drastically decreased by this law. Often times the ones that get hooked on this stuff are teenagers, then their life is ruined, they spend years in jail (at taxpayer expense), manufacture and get other kids hooked. It is troublesome and I'm not for lots of laws but I stand behind this one.

I'd rather make parents legally responsible for the actions of their children than impose one more regulation on law abiding citizens.

There is a major problem with kids making the meth. I agree its a pain to show id but I'd rather not see kids on drugs. I had not known how bad it was until I saw a program on it. It's really heartbreaking. I totally agree with you on this law.

When I was a kid in the 60's, the manager would chase us out of the store when he knew we weren't buying cough syrup for a cough. Shoo! Shoo!

It worked well.

Agreed...

And now meth will just come up from mexico, like was already happening...

Dumb laws like this do nothing to stop the big distributors. This will just give them more power. The only thing it will hamper is the small time meth makers.
