That’s right, the photo ID bill I blogged on last week was signed by Gov. Perdue right after she vetoed HB 854,”Women’s Right to Know Act.”
Senate Bill 474, “Photo Identification for Certain Controlled Substances” requires a person to provide a photo ID to obtain Schedule II controlled substances such as amphetamine, codeine, morphine, etc.
The allowable types of ID are very limited, they are: a drivers license, special identification card issued under G.S. 20-37.7, military identification card, or a passport.
All but 8 members of the North Carolina General Assembly voted for this legislation. Unlike the voter photo ID bill, we heard no insults or accusations of racism from the Democrats in the Legislature or from the Governor’s office with this bill.
Liquor is controlled by the State but you didn’t need to show an ID to get prescription drugs? NC is one of the most backward states I have ever lived in. Let us all pray that Republicans retain control for years to come.
What the hell does this mean? You can’t buy amphetamine, codeine, morphine, etc. anyway as far as I know!
I have to sign and show ID at the drugstore to buy Sudafed which affects only me and my health, but Democrats want to prevent photo ID as a requirement for voting which affects everybody’s well being and helps to insure the integrity of the vote count. What’s wrong with this picture?
