[DRAFT] - Meet Your (Meth) Maker/b]

[b][The Issue] - As @@NAME@@ continues to grapple with methamphetamine and its cooks, law enforcement officials have suggested limiting access to meth precursor chemicals, such as pseudoephedrine, a common nasal decongestant sold in pharmacies across the country.

[issuevalidity] - Follow-up to #1016. Must have selected 1016.1, 1016.2, or 1016.4


[Option 1] - "It's unfortunate that the national drug problem has even infiltrated our pharmacies," laments @@ANIMAL@@ City police commissioner @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Cracking the meth crisis starts with making things harder for meth cooks, and that means restricting the sale of meth precursors like pseudoephedrine. By limiting the amount of this drug citizens can buy, we can put the brakes on meth-makers, who require it in bulk to maintain their deadly production. Buyers should also have valid identification and posses good reason to acquire the drug, and any citizen with good intentions will be able to provide both to their pharmacist."

[Option 2] - "Limits are good, but not nearly good enough," remarks @@RANDOMNAME@@, an anti-drug activist. "In order to stop the spread of meth in our society, there must be even stricter regulations in place regarding the sale of chemicals directly involved in its manufacture. If it were up to me, anyone looking to purchase pseudoephedrine or similar precursors in @@NAME@@ would need to posses a valid prescription from a licensed doctor. Such methods are worth the trouble, after all, drugs kill people!"

[Option 3] - "Restricting pseudoephedrine sales only hurts responsible, law-abiding drug users!" exclaims Medical Rights Association spokesperson @@RANDOMNAME@@. "In the end, criminals are going to get the drug illegally, so restrictions or limits of any kind will be in vain. Rather than targeting law-abiding citizens, the government should establish harsher, deterring penalties for those actually involved in meth trafficking, cooking, and dealing. If someone is willing to corrupt @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ communities, then they ought to spend the rest of their life reflecting on it."

[Option 2] - "And it's not like there are any real reasons to buy pseudo anyway," sniffles @@RANDOMNAME@@, a cold-stricken anti-drug activist. "Limits are good, but not nearly good enough. It’s still too easy for clandestine chemists to get their hands on precursors, as they can still just buy them from their local pharmacy as if it were a 24-hour meth minimart. The solution, like forms of meth itself, is crystal clear: anyone looking to purchase pseudoephedrine or similar precursors in @@NAME@@ needs to posses a valid prescription from a licensed doctor. This level of control is worth the trouble, after all, drugs kill peopl- achoo!"

"I'm no criminal, I just buy my meds by the metric ton, and the government has no right to interfere!

Meth morons are willing to corrupt @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ society after all, and so I hope they get addicted to the sweet taste of justice."
