Pseudoephedrine Purchases and Methamphetamine

The Senate Judiciary Committee recently passed Governor Bill Haslam’s plan to battle the growing issue of methamphetamine use and addiction in Tennessee by limiting the purchase of pseudoephedrine to two twenty table boxes per month with a cap of six boxes annually. The fight here continues as many in the House and Senate push for pseudoephedrine to be available only by prescription. Pseudoephedrine is primary ingredient for the manufacture of methamphetamine and an active ingredient in many cold and allergy medications.
