Rally To Focus On Pseudoephedrine
KENTUCKY....
Police say about 77% of Pseudoephedrine sales in Kentucky are used to make meth. A rally is set to take place in the Capitol Rotunda February 3rd relating to a bill that would require a prescription for some cold medicines. U.S. Representative Hal Rogers, founder of the anti-drug task force Operation UNITE, called Friday for state lawmakers to require some over-the-counter cold medicines to be sold only to people with prescriptions. Rogers says a proposal pending in the Kentucky General Assembly is crucial to curbing the state's meth problem. The bill would require a prescription for drugs with Pseudoephedrine and would place a limit on how much could be purchased. Those against the bill argue it would put an unfair hardship on law abiding citizens who need cold medicine.
