Pseudoephedrine, many ADHD medications and some muscle relaxants require ID.

You got me curious as to which states require ID to pick up prescription narcotics as I've never heard of this living in Illinois and Colorado. Turns out each state has its own set of unique and sometimes bizarre rules:

...in your state. This is not a federal requirement.

Yes, I believe you’re agreeing with me? As the person I’m replying to made it sound like it was a blanket need to show ID.

That depends on stat, I suppose.

In my state, none of those require ID if a prescription.

Pseudoephedrine does if purchased without a prescription.
