"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."

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.

Or maybe it just means the cookers have hidden themselves better. Any evidence that the street price of meth has gone up, or use gone down?
