One measure would allow regular pharmacy customers to buy pseudoephedrine medicine, which is a key ingredient in meth, as usual, but would give pharmacists the leeway to sell limited quantities to unfamiliar customers before requiring a prescription.
The other bill passed would add drug offenders to a national pseudoephedrine tracking system and would ban offenders from buying such medicine without a prescription.
Both bills come after wide debate on how to stop Indiana's meth problem after the state topped the national list for meth lab seizures for the third year in a row.
