Meth Problem Gets Legislative Attention
KENTUCKY...
What is quickly becoming a major problem in the state has a bill aimed at combating the production of methamphetamine is being considered in the House Judiciary Committee. The proposal would block some drug offenders from purchasing cold medicines commonly used in making the illicit drug that has become a scourge in Kentucky. Medicines containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine are an essential ingredient in meth. The measure that cleared the committee on Wednesday would prohibit drug offenders from purchasing those medicines for five years. The bill now heads to the full House. It has already passed the Senate.
