Big Drip

Texas State Sen. Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls) says cold and allergy sufferers will just have to endure their ailments for the public good. Estes wants to ban common cold remedies that contain pseudoephedrine because they may be used to make illegal methamphetamine. His bill would still allow liquids and gel capsules that contain pseudoephedrine along with other ingredients. Meth can be made from ingredients other than pseudoephedrine, and law enforcement authorities say much of the meth consumed in the U.S. comes from Mexico.
