The Meth problem has become so pervasive, our firemen are at serious risk when they respond to house fires. They never know whaen they may have another meth lab explode in thier faces, and the cookers will set up shop anywhere; motels, in campers in parking lots, rental houses in YOUR neighborhood.
A lot of people complain about the inconvienience of signing for Sudafed, but do any of them have a better idea on how to deny Meth pre-cursor chemicals from criminals??
This is a very complex problem dealing with a horrible drug. Treatment alone is not the answer.
I think the question is whether these actions deprive the pre-cursor chemicals from the criminals. It makes it marginally more difficult on them, but on everyone else as well.
