Cough syrup - with or without pseudoephedrine - is one of the most common over the counter substances that get abused, especially by underage kids (some addicts drink cough syrup by the bottle) Cough medicine is basically "exempt controlled substances" - they contain narcotics but some of them do get to be sold over the counter (while others, which have much stronger narcotic content, can only be sold with prescription). But even there, the pharmacist generally has rules - state level / set by the pharmacy board, that require him to check ID and log such purchases, plus determine whether there is a legitimate medical need for the purchase. So, anybody at all who tries to buy bulk quantities of cough medicine needs a bit more investigation from the pharmacist, even if they declare that they are just going to blog about it and call the pharmacist staff "goons", not chug down entire bottles or use them to cook meth. It is either that or he risks losing his license, plus facing felony charges. Besides liability suits from the parents of an actual addict who OD's on 25 bottles of syrup.
