Kentucky sees record number of meth labs (shocker!)

It's another record!


No, not the Scott Brown kind of record.

The year 2009 saw the most meth labs ever found in the state of Kentucky. The 716 illegal, dangerous labs shatter the previous record of 600 labs.

Why is this significant?

This absolutely kablammos any pretense that tighter restrictions on over-the-counter allergy products are effective at reducing meth.

And we're all paying for the sheer insanity of the War on Drugs. Not just in inconvenience for innocent people trying to buy Sudafed. Not just in the $1,000,000 in taxpayer money that was needed to clean up the labs. We also pay for it in lives lost or destroyed by meth or by exploding labs.

All this because of the ineffective Sudafed restrictions that punish only the innocent.

We need to repeal the recent state and federal laws that force people who buy cold and allergy drugs to sign a log.
