Stay away from anyone shaking a 2 liter pop bottle.

I have to say I hate this because I find pseudoephedrine to be the only effective over-the-counter decongestant, and I use it for colds and hay fever.  They already moved it behind the counter and made me show my ID and sign a form to get a package.  Now, if meth cooks are making it with micro-quantities of pills, fed or state governments may try to take it off the market entirely.

I know what you mean Rev.  I get some mean sinus headaches and a couple of pseudoephedrine and some advil is all that will help.

Speaking of which, I remember one time I bought a can of compressed air at Wal-Mart to clean out my computer keyboard and I had to show ID for that.  Apparently people are using that stuff to get high as well.

Yeesh!

At one time in South Africa you couldn't buy paint thinners, glue, methylated spirits or turpentine off the shelf in a hardware store ~ they were kept behind the counter so that the store people could see if any kids were buying those products to sniff.
