| In Iowa, it is illegal to possess, make or sell meth. It is also illegal to sell meth within 1000 feet of a school, park or swimming pool. Additionally, it is against the law to make meth in the presence of a minor. It also violates the Iowa law to possess ephedrine or pseudoephedrine (found in some cold tablets) with the intent to make meth or to sell or give either one to someone if you know it will be used to make meth. In 2004, Iowa passed legislation that prohibits retailers from selling and persons from buying more than two packages of pseudoephedrine in one transaction. Also retailers are required to post notice of the law that limits the sale and purchase of the products. House File 2150 (Child Endangerment/Controlled Substances Act) passed in 2004 expands the crime of child endangerment to include situations in which a person permits the presence of a child at a location where meth or related substances are being illegally manufactured, or where the substances are possessed. | ||
