#5  Regulation of precursors here has made it harder to make meth. I needed a large bottle of iodine to treat my horse's foot. Can't buy it any more. I had to buy 2 2 oz. bottles and go back when they were empty and buy two more. I now have to go back for a third round. Probably get a visit from the Gendarmes, too.

#3  what happened too them busting the major meth labs the mexicans have set up?

I was under the impression that meth was a local American business, mostly by small-time entrepreneurs. It sounds like I was wrong.

#2  alot of this lately seems too be feeding the US media for what they want too hear about cocaine and marijuana and not what is really doing in this counbtry as a drug of choice like meth.I wouldn't call that an arsenal either.
