| #8 Also Thursday, authorities said they seized 88 tons (80 metric tons) of a precursor chemical used to make methamphetamines at a Mexican Pacific coast seaport. "No, essay, I got this really bad sinus thing goin' on. It ain't no drugs, honest, essay". |

| #7 "The Indians cracked down on illicit distribution some years ago. China, not so much." Imagine my surprise. |

| #6 Pseudoephedrine is made in China and India. The Indians cracked down on illicit distribution some years ago. China, not so much. |

| #5 Meth precursors = pseudoephedrine and ephedrine? Where would such large quantities be obtained in Mexico? These are factory-sized quantities. Are these substances controlled in Mexico? We have methamphetamine precursor control acts in the states. The old non-drowsy Sudafed (pseudoephedrine HCl) was available over the counter stateside not too many years ago. It's still available that way in China, and possibly many other countries. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that these imports came from one of these countries, either directly from the plant or as a transfer point, to shake off suspicion. |
