ST. LOUIS (AP) — Electronic systems that track sales of the cold medicine used to make methamphetamine have failed to curb the drug trade and instead created a vast, highly lucrative market for profiteers to buy over-the-counter pills and sell them to meth producers at a huge markup…
Wow, its almost as though there are these market forces at play and more people want drugs or just don’t care than there are stupid assholes willing to shoot people for the cause. I love how they talk about how great Oregon’s prescription law worked out. It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that if you’re going to work the prescription angle you might as well go for the narcotics you can get that way. You know, the ones that are the most abused on the black market currently and that are really really hard to bust someone on. Its amazing how much these government guys will learn to avoid actually learning anything.
