Sudafed and other cold remedies contains Ephedrine and/or pseudo-ephedrine, which is regulated, but not illegal. It
can be used in the manufacture of Meth. It is also used as a decongestant or brocho-dilator for asthma sufferers.
To purchase it you must be 18, you have to provide a valid ID and the purchase is logged. You can only purchase 1 package per 24 hours.
It is a Federal law, but IL and some other states also have stricter State laws regarding dispensing it. Here's a link to IL'l law

We sell it at the truck stop I work at and the logs are checked by a State Police Task Force. Anyone who appears to be buying more than they could possibly take is investigated.
I took a DOT drug test a week ago and asked a lot of questions. They did ask if I was taking any medications, including OTC. I was told that they only screen for ILLEGAL substances. As for the poppy seeds, I did ask about that since I had a bagel with poppy seeds a couple days before. I was told that the amount you would have to eat to have it show up is ridiculously large and it would probably NEVER happen.
