"War on Drugs" update

Missouri legislature contemplating new steps to curb the sale of over-the-counter products used in methamphetamine manufacture.

"This proposal just goes a little too far," said Mike Sargent, a lobbyist for the association [Consumer Healthcare Products Association, which represents manufacturers and distributors of over-the-counter medicines]. "It really unfairly targets the chronic allergy sufferer, because that's the consumer who uses this product most often."

Will Texas soon pass legislation to restrict the sale of pseudoephedrine and natural ephedrine products? There is a bill currently under consideration to add ephedrine to the list of controlled substances.
