Reply #11: At least it's an alternative.

Meth is a growing problem in the US. If you haven't had it touch the area you live in give it time. It's breaking all economic and social boundaries. Picture a drug that has the potential to last for 24 hours and causes psychosis. It's not pretty.

I read that Pfizer originally had researched minus pseudoephedrine which could not be used in meth manufacturing but was essentially the same product as pseudoephedrine. It proved to be too expensive to bring to market. They then spent 12 million trying to add gumming agents to the current product. It didn't work.

I don't mind the current regulations on pseudoephedrine products and am glad they are offering an alternative.
