Mething around

Oklahoma's efforts to curb meth labs include restrictions on the purchase of products containing pseudoephedrine, an essential ingredient in homebrew methamphetamine, and Governor Henry has been recommending similar programs be adopted in other states.

Apparently it's working in Tennessee: the Volunteer State, after thirty days of pseudoephedrine restrictions, posted a 39 percent reduction in lab busts from the corresponding month last year. Governor Phil Bredesen says it's gratifying, but cautions that the figures are for only one month.
