Meth is legal, sometimes.

It's called desoxyn, and can be prescribed for ADHD or weight loss.

Also chirality-flipped meth is available over the counter as a nasal decongestant

Over the counter… with an ID. It’s not on shelves precisely because it is so similar to meth

It's not on shelves because it's a precursor chemical to actual meth manufacturing, not because it's a dangerous drug (otherwise it'd be Rx-only, like the other meth-like drugs).

Neither ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine are the reversed-chirality methampetamine. "Regular" methamphetamine is dextromethamphetamine; the other version is levomethamphetamine.

You don't need an ID for levomethamphetamine.
