BILL WOULD PUT COLD MEDICINE BEHIND COUNTER LEGISLATION AIMS TO CURB
METHAMPHETAMINE PRODUCTION
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive and potent powder "cooked" from
common ingredients such as ammonia, lithium from car batteries and
pseudoephedrine. After snorting, eating or injecting the drug, users
experience rushes of energy and euphoria. The drug's effects can last for
hours.
Meth creates the potential for explosions and contamination because of the
combustible ingredients used to manufacture it.
A measure to fight methamphetamine production in Mississippi could cause
some confusion in pharmacies in the coming months, but retailers and law
enforcement officials say they support the general intent of the bill.
