I don't like signing for the sudafed, but it's not like it's banned here in Oklahoma. It's just not out on the floor where a would-be cook could just shoplift a case of them. I buy two packages at a time, so I don't have to go back as often.
Bottom line, meth labs busts are down 75% in Oklahoma, and 60% in Oklahoma County (OKC). Either the cops aren't doing as good a job this year, or the number of labs has gone down.
Other items that can get you in trouble include:
Propane
Starting Fluid
Tubing, especially surgical tubing
Ammonia
Cough syrups
Drain cleaner
If the police respond to a home and find any one of these items in plain view, then the cops can and will conduct a sweep of the house. If they find more than one item, there is a good likelihood that an arrest will be made.
