That law that made it tougher to sell Pseudoephedrine just helped the Communist Chinese and the Mexican Drug Cartels.
The ChiComs are the biggest maker of Pseudophedrine...and the Mexican Cartels use the ChiCom P-eph to cook up the Meth.
There is still just as much meth out there than before the restriction....instead of some rural American cooking up Meth...it is now the Mexican cartels
Anyone with allergies prefers Pseudophedrine over the PE crap. The Pseudophedrine ban just helped out the ChiComs and the Mexican Drug Cartels
American owned pharmaceutical companies sell many times more of ephedrin and pseudo-ephedrin to Mexican “companies” than is need to produce cold medicine. There was a Frontline special on that documenting the trail directly to US based companies. I have never heard of the Chi-coms being involved, but it makes sense also.
Honestly, I'd rather the Mexicans cook this crap up than my neighbor.
The pseudophedrine that finds its way into super-lab meth is primarily from India,
