I was just wondering the same thing. Any pharmacists out there who can explain this?

I tell them exactly what I am using it for and even showed them my E-Cig. I had no problem ordering it from Walgreens and picked it up the next day. At first they thought I wanted the powder form and I told them no I need the liquid form like you use for mixing compounds. No problem, it's not restricted and any pharmacist that says it is is full of it and making up rules as they go.

Just tell them you mix it with bees wax to make shoe polish.

-or-

You add it to car wash to maintain that showroom sheen.

-or-

You make a 50/50 mix and spray it on the dog to kill fleas.. (hmm...maybe I'll try that on the cat)

-or-

You use it to make homemade antifreeze....Wut!

How about when they ask what it's for, just reply nonchalantly with, "Why, it's not illegal is it?" When they say no, just say, I'd like a pint, can I pick that up tomorrow, or do you carry it in stock.

In many areas, pharmacists are protected to ask for the purpose of any product they sell, and refuse if it seems the least bit suspicious (because almost anything in the place can be used in the production of one drug or another these days).

I'd reply using one of the above stock responses that it's for skin care, car wax or such.

I'm an insulin dependant diabetic... My CVS Pharmicist knows me REAL WELL! I asked for a bottle of PG and he asked why I wanted it...

I just said, "It's a good base for hypoallergenic lotions."

He told me he would have it for me the next day, and sure enough on my way home I stopped at the drive through and my pint bottle of Pharmacudical grade Propylene Glycol, USP was waiting for me!

Here in england they sell you anything if you pay for it. If a pharmacy at C4 they would probably not ask what its for haha

Yeah, you gotta love it!
When we visited out daughter in London, I was able to buy an 8 oz bottle of pure codine just by walking into the local chemist's and asking for it!

Here in the US, You'ld have to be a licensed pharmisist to get that much codine!

Asked my pharmicist at CVS, all he said was it would take a couple days to get there, no questions asked.
If you need to give a reply tell them you are putting it in a humdifier. That is a acceptable medical reason someone would use it.
