This Week's Poll
Fulton County Sheriff Walker Conley and Prosecutor Rick Brown both support changes in Indiana law to require a physician’s prescription to buy pseudoephedrine (a component of drugs like Sudafed). Pseudoephedrine is used to make methamphetamine. Conley and Brown say that meth cases have plummeted dramatically in states that have made this change and Indiana ought to do the same. Do you agree with them?

Please select one:
1. – Yes, I do agree. This is a no–brainer. Like the rest of Indiana, Fulton County has a home–wrecking meth problem and this would go a long way to help. Our state legislators ought to stand up to the drug lobby and help our front–line law officers.
2. – No opinion.
3. – No, I do not agree. A lot of people need pseudoephedrine for legitimate reasons like allergies and illnesses. Expecting them to go to the doctor’s office instead of the drugstore is unfair to them. After all, they aren’t the criminals.
