Have government controls on pseudoephedrine had any effect on illegal meth production?

Question by cattabu: Have government controls on pseudoephedrine had any effect on illegal meth production?
If you have tried to buy any product containing the drug pseudoephedrine (the active ingredient in Sudafed), you know you have to get it from behind the counter, show a picture ID, and sign a log book. This is the result of a government program to slow the production of illegal methamphetamine. The remedies that are freely available are not as effective. Now that allergy season is in full swing for me and the millions of other Americans who suffer from pollen allergies, I want to know if the inconvenience has been worth it. Any statistics would be appreciated. Comments or opinions are welcome in the DB.
