Alberta will follow the lead of the other Prairie provinces by limiting access to a group of cold remedies used to make crystal meth.
Effective immediately, pharmacists must restrict the sale of products made primarily with pseudoephedrine by moving them behind the counter.
The restriction does not apply to many popular cold remedies that have additional ingredients besides pseudophedrine.
"That means a pharmicist will have to agree to the sale of that product," said Alberta Health Minister Iris Evans. "Let's remove that drug from people who just come in and scoop it up for illicit purposes."
Alberta's move follows announcements in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. B.C. and Ontario are considering similar restrictions. I'm sure Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P.E.I. , New foundland and Labrador, will follow along.
Alberta's Solicitor General Harvey Cenaiko said the decision will have a major impact on the production of the highly addictive drug by choking off the supply of key ingredients used by illegal drug labs. "This is a significant move towards preventing young kids and adults in becoming addicted to crystal meth," said Cenaiko.
As for the 3 territiories, (Nunavut Territory, Northwest Territory and Yukon Territory) I wonder if they will follow this. I don't know if they're having a meth problem like the rest of the country. It might be too damn cold. But the idea makes common sense.
