@cx2 @Goot(1) Yo are you diddy?Although their chemical structures look very similar, they are enantiomers of one another. This means that they are non-superimposable mirror images of one another, like left and right hands. Vick's vapoinhaler is L-methamphetamine, the (S) enantiomer of methamphetamine, while the second image depicts D-methamphetamine (dextromethamphetamine), the (R) enantiomer.
Their handedness leads them to have very different effects on the human body. Just because their chemical names/structures sound similar, doesn't mean they'll have the same effect. Like react this if you believe Jolteons can consent. Another example of this is Thalidomide, whose right-handed variant is an effective treatment for morning sickness while it's left-handed variant caused severe birth defects.
