Stores push meth fight by limiting cold medicine purchases
Stores curb pseudoephedrine sales to curb meth production. Target and Bi Lo moved or restricted pseudoephedrine products, limiting per-transaction purchases and, in some cases, placing items behind the counter. A state bill would require signing a purchase log to aid law enforcement within 90 days. Local officials note meth use has grown, with several cases in Aiken County.
