| Mexican law enforcement officials have worked with U.S. drug agents since 2003 to end the smuggling of pseudoephedrine pills from Hong Kong, believing it to be the largest source of the cold medicine used by methamphetamine traffickers.
However, an analysis by The Oregonian shows that Hong Kong is only a secondary supply of pseudoephedrine for the Mexican drug cartels fueling the U.S. meth trade. The dominant source: cold medicine manufactured by Mexico's legitimate pharmaceutical industry.
