Fighting meth does not require more intrusive laws

The Times Free Press reported that most of the meth poisoning in our communities is coming from Mexican drug cartels, not from homegrown meth-makers. The price is down, and meth use in America is up.

Mexican drug lords play rough, and we need to get tough if we are going to stop them.

The government’s solution? Pull a prescription for safe and effective cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine. That is a ridiculous way to fight the problem. It’s just one more way for the government to meddle in our health care. It does nothing to stop the Mexican kingpins.

We don’t need new laws that punish the innocent. We need to enforce the laws we have and do a better job of keeping our borders safe.
