If you ask the president of the Missouri Narcotics Association, who has been tracking meth down for more than 15 years, the answer is "Yes."
Franklin County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Jason Grellner makes finding meth his mission. He's the President of the Missouri Narcotics Association and the Unit Commander of the Franklin County Narcotics Unit which works in conjunction with the St. Louis County Drug Task Force. Grellner said meth started showing up in the St. Louis area in 1996. That is 20 years after the FDA changed the drug pseudoephedrine, a decongestant that is also the key ingredient for making meth, from requiring a prescription to an over-the-counter drug. The FDA made that change in 1976. "Missouri has been the leader in meth labs for over a decade. 2010 was the only year we weren't ranked number one, Tennessee took us over and we were back as number one in 2011…

Hello Gabrielle, To be honest these legal aspects are a bit confusing: depending on your town, you will buy ephedrine behind the counter or only with a prescription. For me it would now make sense to pass prescription laws at state or county level only, with an exemption for meth-deterring products such as Zephrex-D. We would avoid a lot of admin work and meth-proof ephedrine could be bought … more ›
