Maybe, but more people are willing to do felonies to get/sell meth than to do the same thing for pseudoephedrine, and its just as illegal to by meth to cook pseudoephedrine as to cook meth from pseudoephedrine.

A "cook house" burned down from me a couple months ago, so there's clearly still domestic cooking going on here (Cali hi-desert around JTNP).
