"If we ban water, then no drugs could be made. Still on board? How far are you willing to go?"

Are they talking about banning it, or only allowing it to be sold from behind the counter in pharmacies and requiring people to sign for it like they do in Oklahoma? If they are just talking about having laws similar to Oklahoma's, it's not that big of a deal. Psuedoehedrine is the base product that all of this meth is coming from. The whole cooking process revolves around converting the psuedo into meth. There are lots of different recipes where they use different chemicals and processes to reach that end, but without easy access to large quantities of psuedo we wouldn't have all of these little kitchen meth labs everywhere. I wish my state had these laws. We have little meth labs like these operating everywhere all the time. I'm in a small town and there are probably dozens out there cooking dope as I type this. Otherwise we wouldn't see several people being arraigned every week on dope cooking charges, and I wouldn't be representing so many of them as a public defender.

Am I correct in assuming that you would support the strict regulation of any substance that is a large component in the making of an illegal, intoxicating drug? Regardless of the value of the substance? How far are you willing to go? How much are you willing to give up? You do realize that meth is simply a response to other intoxicants being cracked down on, right? Bathroom chemists will find something else to cook into fake speed or fake cocaine. You must understand that this does nothing to reduce the demand for intoxicating substances, legal or illegal.
