#2. "Meth" Bill Would Limit Some Cough Syrup Sales.

In a rare show of bipartisan unity, the Senate Judiciary Committee has
voted unanimously to limit consumer access to over-the-counter cold
remedies containing pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine is one of the key
ingredients in methamphetamine - an illegal drug that has become a
scourge, especially in rural areas.
