COLD MEDICINE FEVER
Methamphetamine is growing in popularity in rural and
urban Wisconsin. So the state Legislature passed a bill to make it harder
for people to buy cold medicine. Despite being shown briefing papers that
most of the pseudoephedrine used to manufacture meth (which is also the key
ingredient in Sudafed) comes from Mexico, not over-the-counter cold
medicine, lawmakers desperate to make a strong stand in the meth war
overwhelmingly passed the bill.
