My favorite part of a recent visit to my pharmacy was needing to provide picture ID for a box of Cold Formula Advil, but not for the Rx I was getting refilled. Prednisone and hydrocodone!
And I'm pretty sure that I violated at least state, and probably federal law the other day... One of my co-workers was complaining of a terrible sinus headache, so I gave her one of my Cold Formula Advils when she asked for one!

I had the exact same experience in the pharmacy!
After having a wisdom tooth extracted, I was given a very powerful RX for the pain (vicodin). My husband had been suffering with pretty severe sinus congestion, so I picked up a box of the real Sudafed.
For the powerful and addictive vicodin, I signed nothing. For the utterly harmless Sudafed, I had to provide picture ID and a signature.
It is utter insanity, and needs to be repealed ASAP.
BTW...what in the name of All That's Holy does Sudafed have to do with the War on Terror? Why is this legislation attached to the Patriot Act (the rest of which I support)??
