Update of White Paper on the Impact of State Laws Regulating Pseudoephedrine on Methamphetamine Abuse

The purpose of this contract between the National Association of State Controlled Substance Authorities (NASCSA) is to engage the services of researchers from the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy Institute for Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy (UK Project Team) to update the white paper, providing a review of current state laws regulating pseudoephedrine and their impact on curbing methamphetamine production and abuse. This white paper will help summarize the relative impact of varying PSE laws so that public officials and legislators can make informed decisions relative to which laws may have the greatest impact on methamphetamine production and abuse.
