    It works to make meth.

    Which is probably what most of it is used for.

    edit: My mistake. Thanks for the corrections.

        Yeah, someone else also corrected me.

        Thanks though, it was a throw away comment anyway.

      Wrong one.

      pseudoephedrine is the meth-making one, and usually the one you now have to ask a pharmacist for.

      Phenylephrine is the one they used to replace it, which many people knew didn’t work and complained about it.
