    The document discusses a debate between Liza Kroeschell and Yoshie Fujimoto-Kateada on whether making pseudoephedrine drugs available only by prescription would help solve the nation's meth addiction problem. Yoshie argues that restricting access to pseudoephedrine would reduce meth use and cooking since it is a key ingredient. However, Liza counters that meth cooks are resourceful and would find other ways to obtain ingredients, and that restricting access would inconvenience legitimate cold medicine users. The document also reviews Oregon's experience which showed a significant drop in meth labs and related arrests after requiring a prescription for pseudoephedrine drugs.
