The way it works in Oklahoma is that the pharmacist has to take the info from your drivers license and record it in a book they keep. Theoretically, all the info in all the books at all the pharmacies are combined by the State DEA or whatever to see if one person is buying too much.

IMO, by the time they put all that together, the meth is made and out the door. But I can't back that up with facts, and can't know for sure whether it's effective or not.

Sounds like a record keeping nightmare for pharmacists and the DEA.

Apparently meth lab busts have dropped by about 80% in Oklahoma since they passed those laws which seems like a pretty major success to me. How often do you see a major success in the war on drugs? How many zillions of dollars and how many thousands of people would have to have been put in prison for law enforcement to have had this kind of success just arresting people? I think these are pretty amazing results and speaking as someone who has represented a ton of people on meth cooking and related charges I personally would love to see us pass the same laws in my state.
