Police broke down a door Thursday in Crystal City and found two meth cooks using a toxic mix of chemicals to make meth, endangering the life of a 5-year-old and his pregnant mother in Jefferson County. Police believe a measure making its way through the Missouri Legislature to make some over-the-counter products available only by prescription will end the meth epidemic of the Midwest. While opponents say the state should equip the state’s pharmacies with software to track purchases of meth’s main ingredient, pseudoephedrine.
