The Patriot Act Attempts to Curb Meth Labs
The new USA Patriot Act will prohibit the sale of cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine unless it is behind the counter. Pseudophedrine is a key ingredient in the production of meth, and cold medicine is a common way of acquiring the substance. The Patriot Act will restrict the amount of pseudoephedrine a person can buy each day and each month. Furthermore, customers will be required to sign a log book and show valid identification.
