House sends meth bill to governor
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Georgia House gave final approval today to a bill designed to combat meth production by putting Sudafed and similar cold and sinus remedies behind the counter at stores statewide.
The bill, which passed the Senate on Tuesday and now goes to the desk of the governor, would take drugs with pseudoephedrine off the regular shelves. Pseudoephedrine is a key ingredient in the illegal stimulant methamphetamine.
Supporters of the bill say that making the ingredient harder to get will help thwart the production of meth, often cooked in explosive, makeshift labs in kitchens, trailers and sheds.
