This investigation revealed that William FOUSSE had purchased 406 Bronkaid caplets which contain 25 mg of ephedrine sulfate per tablet over a two week period, which resulted in purchasing over 29 grams of ephedrine. Further investigation revealed that FOUSSE had also purchased similar products over the same time period from three other pharmacies. The combined amount of ephedrine purchased was over 29 grams which is three times over what is allowed by law.

edit to add: what if someone felt it necassary to stock up on cold medicines and other items for some sort of catastrophic event? would it be a crime to have a large amount of this medicine stock piled in your home?

Plus, when you purchase it, you sign an electronic log that is sent to the state for their records and you can be denied if you purchase more than a 1 month supply in 30 days. They take your name and punch in your drivers license ID number. Nothing like Big Brother checking in to see how your head cold is doing.
I've had problems with this. I pick up my wife's Claritin D 24 hour every month. If I get sick, I have to send her out to pick up Sudafed since I am over the limit...good law on the books, but kind of a pain at times.

Not true: It is a state by state matter. In North Carolina all you have to do is ask your pharmacist for the good stuff with codeine, usually mixed with guatussin or another expectorant, and all that is required is for you to list name and address on a sheet,
