> Argh, I always get crap like that from retail pharmacies too. It's like the pharmacists think that it's their job to wage the war on drugs or something. Sometimes they even claim or imply that something is a law when really it's just the store's policy. Try asking a pharmacist at a different pharmacy the same question -- and start going there instead if they have a more fair and agreeable "policy." (I've often caught pharmacists lying to me about stuff like this. Why can't we have cool pharmacists, like Cam? :-) )

due date and authorization from the doctor that
he could lose his license (this is the law).-john
