Should baking soda be sold behind the counter like some cold medicines now are, to stop meth producers?

St. Louis legislator wants to require that baking soda be sold behind the pharmacy counter, as part of an effort aimed at a base ingredient in crack cocaine. The proposal by Democrat Talibdin El-Amin is modeled after a state law that requires some cold medicines to be placed behind the pharmacy counter because they contain ingredients used to make meth. The anti-meth law requires customers to show a photo I-D and sign a book specifying their name, address and how much they purchased. The bill would implement similar requirements for the purchase of sodium bicarbonate, otherwise known as baking soda. The measure was filed last month and has yet to receive a hearing.
