I’m skeptical the regulations will ever get rolled back, because it’s just so trivially easy to get spooked by the idea of making meth, but as mentioned in this article, I don’t think pseudoephedrine would become a significant source of methamphetamine again if it was made easily available over the counter. Because the cartels have gotten really, really good at making meth. Extremely pure and extremely cheap, and the proper psychoactive isomer. There’s a massive supply of cheap and “good” crank out there, so I doubt deregulation of Sudafed would really make a blip in the total supply.
