New Tangent on Meth Legislation Discussed at Statehouse
(INDIANAPOLIS) — There’s a new twist on the push to require prescriptions for cold meds containing pseudoephedrine. Instead of requiring a prescription for everyone, Auburn Representative Ben Smaltz (R) is proposing to maintain the status quo — if you already fill another prescription at a pharmacy. Otherwise, you’d only be allowed a single 24-count box, an amount Smaltz says is too small to make meth with. But a no-exceptions requirement didn’t get a hearing in the Senate, and appears to be off the table in the House.
