War on Meth: New Database to Track Pseudoephedrine Sales

War on Meth: New Database to Track Pseudoephedrine Sales

Posted: Oct 3, 2006 07:53 PM

There are new developments this month in the war against drugs. In Oklahoma, a new online database is helping law enforcement agencies stop people who manufacture methampetamine. KTEN's Chelsea Hover reports.

The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics now has another tool to further reduce domestic methamphetamine production.

As of October 1st, an electronic logbook is now in place to better track people trying to purchase pseudoephedrine tablets to cook meth.

Psuedoephedrine, is a key element in the manufacturing of meth. In 2004, Oklahoma lawmakers passed a law that placed pseudoephedrine tablets behind pharmacy counters and required customers to sign an in-store log-book.

Then, a process nicknamed "smurfing" emerged...

"They go around to different pharmacies buying three boxes at a time and there's no way to monitor how many boxes," said an a Bryan County Drug Task Force agent who preferred to remain anonymous.

Pharmacies had no way to compare notes...

"Nothing. It just stays here," said Jana Bennett, a pharmacist. "I guess technically if the DEA wanted to come check out if somebody's been buying a lot of it, they could come see our records, but it doesnt go into any big database or any computer...it stays right here."

Not any more... those logbooks have been replaced with an electronic database, known as the prescription monitoring program.

"Once they buy three boxes, a red flag will come up if they try to buy it somewhere else and they wont sell it to them," said the Narcotics agent.

The way the database works, pharmacies, doctors, and law enforcement agents will have immediate access to the latest records online.

Even prior to this new system, state drug agents say operational meth labs have declined by more than 90% in Oklahoma since 2004.

Looks like they'll need to find a new source of pseudoephedrine.

Shouldn't take too long. I don't see the demand changing.

Or things will start getting more violent and you will see more walgreens getting held up.

It seems this is what people want though. They know there is an addiction, they know people can get violent when they want their drugs, but instead of helping with the addiction, they help bring people to their last resort - violence.

I am not justifying violence for drugs. I am not saying any meth head has the right to go shoot up a walgreens because they wont let them have some drugs. I am just saying that we have a government that knows what they are doing, that knows that this stuff can cause agressive behavior, and that seems to just want to agitate the situation instead of actually helping.

Meth is the one drug I don't mind being illegal. Then again if drugs were legal people could get clean amphetamine and not many you mess with that nasty shit. I think most of the dirty shit comes from Mexico now anyway.

Trouble is that we have wanna be pharmacists cooking up a bunch of very explosive chemicals in a house/trailer somewhere. If it were legal, perhaps trained experts could do this in controlled laboratories without blowing up houses. Even if I dislike meth with a passion, it's a better alternative to clueless people in makeshift meth labs.

My drug is better than you drug so I don't mind if they trample your rights as long as they don't trample mine.

GRRR. You see that all the time. The awful government holding us down and not letting us put what we want into our bodies...they better legalize weed NOW...but better keep coke, herroin, and meth illegal cause they are bad.

Seriously, what job is it of the governments to regulate ANY drug put into our bodies. If you think the one drug should still remain illegal, you are no better than the people that think your drug of choice should be illegal.
