alt Hacker News> Pseudoephedrine being pulled from the shelves is one of the biggest crimes of our time.
What's even worse, modern pseudoephedrine is produced in a form that makes meth synthesis from it extremely tedious and generally impossible in home conditions: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3793278/
99% of pseudoephedrine sold is not this form and this specific product has already been debunked years ago with Mississippi's complete ban (and their refusal to allow it.)
I remember the video of the pharma rep or cop or whoever trying to make meth out of the new pills and the product getting squishy. Months later, a different video was published, where some household solvent was used to easily pull the very-dissolvable pseudoephedrine salts from the paste.
