People buy up the cold medicines to make meth. The mixer is highly volitile and blow a house into splinters. Often they use cars and vans in traveling methlabs endangering people on the highway. Therefore they are regulating the over the counter drugs by limiting the amount you can buy.

You can also get a direct Suphedrine high. No need to make meth. Teens often drink Suphedrine cough medicine to get high.
