Meth

Bovett, Rob. "How to Kill the Meth Monster." The New York Times. Http://www.nytco.com/, 15 Nov. 2010. Web. 07 Feb. 2014.This article, from The New York Times, discusses the reality of states putting pseudoephedrine, or at least trying to, put it behind the counter. Tracking devices have been attached, but in Kentucky, it has only reduced the number of meth labs by 10 percent. The only effective solution, it seems, is putting it behind the counter and requiring a prescription, as Oregon requires. The New York Times is a credible source, as it is well known and written by reliable journalists.

"The Meth Epidemic." PBS. PBS, 17 May 2011. Web. 06 Feb. 2014.This Frontline video portrayed the major meth epidemic in the U.S. and Mexico, and how suppliers transport ephedrine and pseudoephedrine into the U.S. illegally. The mandates Congress have made towards putting cough medicine behind the counter was portrayed along with how supplies work their way around the system. This video is reliable because it was made by PBS, a credible source, and the research was done by a Reporter from the Oregonian. Yet this was made in 2011, so three years have passed, meaning some of this information may have changed.
