MED LAW TAKES EFFECT JULY 1
Hinds County Judge William Skinner said stopping methamphetamine
abuse is worth the inconveniences caused by a new law that will
restrict use of decongestant medicines, the main ingredient of meth.
"We took a lot of heat over supporting this," Skinner said, noting
his three years presiding over the county's drug and Youth courts
showed him the ill effects of meth abuse.
Gov. Haley Barbour signed House Bill 512 on Thursday requiring
prescriptions to purchase medicine that contains pseudoephedrine,
like Sudafed D and Zyrtec D. The Legislature overwhelmingly approved
the measure.
