SHOULD ADOPT DEC LAWS TOO THE EDITOR: Bill Oliver tells Mr. Lauzon to take off his rose coloured glasses. What colour are Mr. Oliver's? Meth abuse has been documented in several states in the USA of creating or causing 85% of criminal activity. What is interesting is that meth production can be eliminated completely by banning the key ingredient found in cough remedies and manufactured by only three major corporations world-wide. Some states have already banned this ingredient. Drug Endangered Children Laws have been adopted in numerous states and the province of Alberta. I urge all Canadians to demand DEC laws in Canada and a national ban on this ingredient. Maybe, together we can stop the hemorraging and have the resources to clean up the mess. There is nothing worse then looking in a small child's mouth and seeing extensive dental work as a result of meth exposure.
