(Article doesn't mention which states are affected, but I do know this is the case at least  in Pennsylvania)

Another case where other people ruin things for everyone. The thing is, it's hard to tell what kind of person is buying this stuff just by the looks of them, most times.

You didn't read the entire article. The fault is not with meth users.

I remember trying to buy claritin-D for the wife back when they started requiring you to sign a paper and show your driver's license. That was crap.

Still, here in WV meth is a HUGE problem. I don't know about other areas of the country, but meth is definitely the redneck drug of choice. Before the law, you couldn't usually buy the stuff anyways because it was stolen off the shelves as soon as it got there. Most businesses were already keeping it behind lock and key, and were only keeping like 2 packs in stock at any one time on top of that. It is quite normal to notice "meth teeth" on workers at convenience stores and McDonalds around here. Meth house busts are quite common, as are mobile meth units.

I wrote part of the app that my employer uses to track buyers of these products.  These are federal laws, IIRC.  Implementation specifics are left to each state but the requirements are an act of Congress.
