Gabrielle Biondo from TownAndCountry-Manchester Patch has written excellent articles about pseudoephedrine used to produce meth, explaining that future laws could make it harder by requiring a prescription, and also announcing future meth-resistant products: http://ephedrinewheretobuy.com/ephedrine-for-sale-over-the-counter-again
Let's hope that this will help fighting meth, which is much more dangerous than other drugs, not only for drug addicts but also for innocent people: any child could be hurt by opening a soda bootle found in the street, drugs agents risk their life when entering meth labs. Any step making it harder for meth cooks goes in the right direction.
Cheers, Mike
