Shake-and-bake shakes up new laws

What did I tell you about the new laws that make you sign a log just to buy Sudafed being completely ineffective at fighting meth?

A new AP report says meth cooks have now developed a new shake-and-bake method that evades these laws entirely. This requires far fewer pseudoephedrine tablets than the old methods.

In other words, the laws (just as we predicted) don't affect meth cooks at all. These laws affect only the innocent allergy sufferer.

The shake-and-bake process that has been fostered by these laws is at least as dangerous as the old recipes. This method often produces large explosions and releases toxic waste. Because this process can be carried out in a moving car, countless bottles full of poisonous meth residue have been found along the nation's roads.

And it's all because the drug warriors wanted new laws that everyone knew wouldn't work anyway!

Mark my words: They're going to find something else to ban. And when that doesn't work, the vicious cycle is just going to keep repeating.
