Attorney General Lisa Madigan is sending a strong message to people who buy pills for meth manufacturers. "If you purchase those pills for a meth cook, you are essentially cooking meth too. It carries with it a significant criminal penalty. I think there are a lot of folks who think they are not the actual cook they have nothing to dowith it. That is not the case," Madigan said. The attorney general is asking lawmakers to extend the bill which tracks pseudoephedrine purchases and limits the amount a person can buy in a 30 day period. More than 70,000 people have been denied purchases since the bill went into effect in 2006. Madigan says Illinois will, quote, "become a pill-shopper's paradise" if lawmakers don't extend the bill when they return to session at the end of the month. - http://goo.gl/To9Oc
