New Technology To Help Track Sales Of Meth-Making Drug

[0utrider]

Meth Shield is the newest technology being installed in pharmacies across western Kansas. It's a tested and proven system that has decreased the number of independent meth labs in Australia by nearly 50 percent.
The KBI and Kansas Board of Pharmacy are hoping the program will have the same results in Kansas.
Meth Shield will act as an electronic log book that ties individual pharmacies to law enforcement in real-time. Garden City Pharmacy is the first pharmacy in the nation to have the program installed.
Pharmacist Dick Monical says the new technology makes tracking the sale of medications, which can be used to make meth, a lot easier.
Meth Shield is a pilot program at this time that will run for one year in 128 pharmacies and drug stores across 62 Kansas counties.
Monical says he hopes the program works, so legitimate consumers can continue to have access to the medications their families need.
"If this works we'll continue to sell the decongestant. If it doesn't work,
they'll either have to move it to prescription or come up with a system
that's more viable," Monical said.
For now, the pilot program is starting off in independently owned pharmacies. It will then branch out to chain pharmacies who have their own electronic log books, that will then become included in the Meth Shield network.

In Kansas, a person needs his Sudafed. Them damn wheat fields are everywhere.

this logging system is apparent here in the form of even with over the counter sales you need to give an adress & contact no. although we just give a fake adress & tel no. one of these days they'll probably ask for identification.

the system is gaining strength.

Last month, swim went to wallys world to get his monthly supply of sinus meds, he got 3 boxes. This month he was only allowed to get 2. Asked the clerk why, she did not have a answer.

Swim went to buy 2 boxes ephedrine in the form of Bronkaid. That's about half a gram. Limits are, what, 7-9 or so per month?

So Swim goes to counter and checkout lady says "Um, I don't think you can buy that much..." Lol.

Not to mention the demands of identification.



Illegal aliens must be buying our cold meds! That's why they demand to track us! It's for our own good, America

Here in Cali they scan your Driver's license if you try to buy Nyquil!
