Oregon Crystal Meth Addiction

Methamphetamine became popular in Oregon during the 1980s. Over a five year period from 2003 until 2007, there has been over a 95 percent decrease of Meth abuse in the state; due to new laws concerning pseudoephedrine (in some states, an over the counter cold remedy). Pseudoephedrine may now only be purchased with a prescription, making it harder for chemists to acquire the ingredients they need to produce Crystal Meth for profit. Officials are proposing a state law be passed that requires all medical physicians to turn in methamphetamine abusers to the local public health Authorities. In recent cases (July 2007) various flavors of Crystal Meth, such as strawberry have shown up in numerous drug busts.
