The actual ingredient they use is not that expensive (pseudoephedrine) by itself, but it's made in combos with more expensive stuff like Mucinex-D, Claritin-D, etc. For a while there was just a restriction on how much you could buy at once, but alot of druggies were just swiping the stuff.
It's like any annoying law- it's either to protect us from idiots or protect idiots from themselves.
