Once again, "drug warriors" fail to think things through.

Shockingly, Anti-Meth Laws Have Had Unintended Consequences - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine:

"An A.P. investigation into the fallout from those meth fighting laws that restrict the sale of cold medication has turned up results that 'surprised' law makers and law enforcement officials...

Meth use was also up 34 percent in 2009. So the new laws are inconveniencing law-abiding people who want to treat cold and allergy symptoms, have had either zero or a positive effect on meth use, have lured new people into the meth trade, and have created a bigger market for smuggling meth and meth ingredients into the country from Mexico.

But perhaps we should go easy on the politicians who passed these laws. I mean, it's not like anyone could possibly have predicted any of this."
