You can get it just fine, but you have to show your license and you can't buy more than 3.6 grams of pseudoephedrine in a day or 7.5 grams in 30 days. Sudafed's 30mg per tablet, so that's 120 tabs a day or 250 a month. Seems like that's probably plenty for cramming purposes as long as you don't plan a weeks-long binge.

My wife has chronic congestion issues and phenylephrine does nothing for her, so we're frequent customers.
