Six months ago, Iowa started cracking down on meth users with a computer system. It keeps track of where and when people buy pseudophedrine. The idea is to keep people from pharmacy hopping to get enough to make meth. So far, it's getting big results. State-wide the system has blocked about 18,000 sales, enough pills to make 45 lbs of meth. This system also gives police more information on how to track potential meth makers. As a result they've caught 18-percent more meth labs.
