The Department of Justice's most recent numbers show methamphetamine manufacture and abuse has shown a steady decrease over the past two reported years in South Carolina from 2005 to 2007.
The number of reported meth lab incidents was 116 in 2004, but that number dropped down to 69 two years later.
During 2006, South Carolina passed legislation to curb indiscriminate access to over-the-counter cold and allergy medications containing pseudo ephedrine to help curb the manufacture of the drug.
