On a related note when they outlawed Sudafed (ephedrine), makers of methamphetamine started using a different manufacturing process that results in meth that is slightly chemically different, and it makes people really crazy, really fast. Meth always caused psychosis (craziness) but the new version that's not made with ephedrine is way worse.

Sudafed isn't outlawed. It's just behind the counter.
