NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Meth is back with a vengeance, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. The state of Tennessee is on pace to have a record-breaking year for meth seizures in the state.

TBI: Meth Is Back With A Vengeance

"Now we're seeing it all over the state," said TBI Director Mark Gwyn. "Nobody is immune to meth in the state right now. It's everywhere."

Meth production dropped dramatically after the Legislature passed a law in 2005 requiring pharmacies to keep pseudoephedrine tablets behind the counter, limit purchases to a certain amount of grams and require a driver's license for purchase.

However, cooks have found ways around that law. Because the database doesn't have real-time updates, there is no way for law enforcement to know if cooks are smurfing, which is when they hit multiple pharmacies and buy the limit at each one.

A case of smurfing occurred a week and a half ago in Smyrna, where five people were trying to buy pseudoephedrine at multiple pharmacies and had a list of every pharmacy in town. A pharmacist noticed something strange and alerted authorities.

Lawmakers will likely look to change current laws.

This year, law enforcement in Tennessee has seized 1,159 meth labs to date. That's up from the 589 seized in 2007 after laws were passed to limit production.
