Law enforcement officers making the presentation praised South Carolina’s stop-sale system that is a deterrent to individuals purchasing medicines containing chemicals in the production of meth.
Data released for the first quarter of the year by the National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx) shows electronic technology in South Carolina blocked the sale of more than 14,000 boxes of medicines containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) preventing more than 35,000 grams from potentially being diverted by meth criminals. NPLEx was fully implemented in the state in January 2011.
