Oklahoma meth bill pits police against drug industry
Oklahoma confronts a clash over a proposed prescription requirement for pseudoephedrine in cold medicines. Law enforcement argues the rule would curb a surging meth trade, while drug companies warn it infringes consumer rights and could keep products like Claritin D and Advil Cold off shelves as legislators weigh regulation against industry lobbying. Data show meth labs rising again after a 2004 ban, with shake and bake methods fueling growth from 213 labs in 2008 to 748 in 2009.
