Where I am in america you can get a buy a gun when you reach 18, alcohol when you reach 21 and cough syrup when you reach 40.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Cough syrup at 40?

After a bit of looking around and discussing here with folks I think its likely the person meant that they card anyone who does not look over 40 but it sounded to my wife like you had to be over 40 to buy it.

What are you talking about?

My wife was carded for it and told you had to be 40. I suspect there was a mis communication but I thought it was funny. I do know there was federal legislation to restrict it to 25 but I would not surprise if I state upped it to stricter.

Probably also 21 or 18 and they are required to ID of you look younger than 40

yeasterday I found something about federal legislation for 25 but can't today and im thinking whatever it was was likely not passed. I found my state does not allow it if pure but I can't find any other restrictions. I also notice here 25 is mostly given as the age people have to look to not card (which the more I think about it is wierd and silly. its so subjective). I wonder if the person was telling my wife their own personal criteria to not card.

Where the fuck is cough syrup at 40?

I think the rule is if you look over 40 they won't card you since obviously you're over 18 and 21 at that point.

So if you can't guarantee someone looks over 40 (gray hair wrinkly etc) you are obligated to check ID.

I was actually looking it up and alls I can find is my state has completely outlawed pure forms of Dextromethorphan but I can't find anything on age limit except a federal thing for 25. Which is still funny given the gun thing.
