NEW LAW PUTTING CRIMP IN STATE METH PRODUCTION
Retailers Must Make Drugs More Restrictive
A new law that takes cold and weight loss medications off store shelves has
already had an effect in controlling the production of methamphetamines in
the state, a drug enforcement official said Monday.
Tim Rutledge, training director for the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics,
said the law that requires retailers to put restrictions on products
containing pseudoephedrine and ephedrine - ingredients used to make
methamphetamine and commonly found in cold and weight loss medicines - has
made it more difficult for people to obtain the raw materials to make the
illegal drug.
