The news lately is filled with communities and states trying to fight meth through tracking pseudophedrine purchases. It seems like it won't be long until a stricter federal law is enacted.
In August, Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon drafted federal legislation calling for a nationwide prescription mandate for pseudoephedrine; he said he planned to introduce it this year. The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, which establishes policies and priorities for drug-control programs, is examining Oregon's law, though it hasn't taken a position on it.
