Ohio to Ban Meth Ingredient
Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro decided to follow the examples of other states by restricting the sale of pseudoephedrine--one of the many common chemicals used to make meth. Ohio's specific restrictions put medicines containing the chemical behind the counter, allow only adults to purchase it, and allow only 9 grams per month to any single customer. The legislation comes at a time when meth use in Ohio is still small, but the occurrence of meth labs is increasing.
