METH VOTE WAS HUGE VICTORY FOR LAWMEN
The Legislature's rather decisive vote to strike a blow at the supply
of pseudoephedrine available in Mississippi for home meth labs
represents a huge victory for state lawmen and a huge loss for drug
companies and their lobbyists.
Law enforcement agencies don't really have the political clout or the
financial resources to lobby in the classic sense - nor should they
have to engage in that nonsense.
New moonshine? Crystal methamphetamine is the new moonshine in
Mississippi. It's relatively easy to make, the precursors are cheap
and readily available at a lot of locations in even the smallest
Mississippi towns and the demand for the drug is high.
