PRODUCTS FOR METH LABS SHOULD BE RESTRICTED

The solution to the current methamphetamine crisis is both simple and
obvious: immediate restriction of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine to
prescription-only status.

This would deprive illicit methamphetamine manufacturers of their key
ingredient, directly causing cessation of production.

Since the over-the-counter availability of these feedstock chemicals
represents a clear and immediate danger to the public health and
welfare, one wonders why the Food and Drug Administration and Drug
Enforcement Agency have perfervidly procrastinated acting on this matter.
