Abstract:
In January 2006, North Carolina joined over thirty others states in requiring retailers to keep some common cold medicine tablets, like Sudafed, behind a counter and to get a photo ID and signature from anyone who purchases the product.

The State Bureau of Investigation shut down nine meth labs in 1999, but expects that number to climb to four hundred in 2005.
