Summary

State and federal laws limit the amount of nonprescription pseudoephedrine (“PSE”) consumers can buy to prevent diversion for production of methamphetamine. States, however, need an effective way to enforce those limits statewide and across state borders to curb the practice of “smurfing,” whereby criminals make purchases at multiple stores to acquire illegal quantifies of PSE. The solution is a multi-state PSE sales blocking system: the National Precursor Log Exchange system (NPLEx) which the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators provides at no cost to states that have legislation requiring real-time electronic monitoring of precursor purchases and agree to use the system. Currently, 25 other states have adopted PSE tracking through NPLEx. The blocking technology monitors all nonprescription PSE purchases in real time to prevent meth criminals from exceeding legal limits. It also tracks purchases among all participating states so that meth cooks are unable to simply cross state lines to illegally obtain PSE.
