Right, but would reopen the door to your random tweakers setting up shit labs in squats/rental properties and destroying property values.

That stuff's toxic AF even if the labs don't blow up.

Restrictions on pseudoephedrine did nothing to curtail the manufacture, sale or use of amphetamines in this country. It didn't even raise the price. If anything, speed of all kinds is easier to get today.

The restrictions centralized production though. Now almost all meth is being made in a lab that can import Phenylacetone from china. That's safer than someone next door setting up an explosive cookhouse.

Even safer if they sold it at Walmart.

meth production didn't stop, in fact it switched to far more efficient ingdidient and made meth much worse than it was before.

It's cheaper and pure than it was ever been since the ban.
