You think they should ban the making of cold medicine? Are you nuts?

"Are you nuts?" Depends on who you ask.
On the program I referenced the DEA person compared it too the Quaalude problem we had years ago. He stated that the ban dried up the supply and ergo the problem.
The people running the labs in Mexico are buying the pseudephedrin by the ton. That is why the drug busts in this country are now of pounds of meth with street values of sometimes a million dollars.
Another problem the film revealed was the correlation of the availability of high grade meth and the number of addicts. The better the quality, the more addicts.
I would urge anyone interested in the meth problem to view the PBS program. It provided some good information on the problem. We live in a rural area and have had 3 busts within a 5 mile area of our home.
