Yes, it's interesting that, for example here in Finland, they sell turbo yeast and activated carbon, etc, in EVERY supermarket in the country (supermarkets being classified as either Prisma or Citymarket) as well as many other smalller stores. Turbo yeast is specifically designed to produce cheap alcohol fast, i.e. only by adding sugar and water you get 14% ABV in 24 hours and 20% ABV in one week if you add enough sugar. In finnish language, that is called "kilju" and it's production, posession, sale, and or consumption are all illegal. The police even have laboratory testing equipment to allow them to detect if somebody's homebrew is containing an acceptable amount of unfermentable solids in it or not. Yet turbo yeast, which is specifically designed to produce kilju, is not illegal here. Even more interesting to note is that the price of sugar is also highly controlled in this country because the authorities know that people need bulk sugar to make kilju, so it's sort of like a type of indirect alcohol tax on sugar for poor people. To further compound the interest, in many places where they sell turbo yeast they also sell bottles of essence flavoring. These generally resemble the flavors found in popular brand-name liqueurs such as Jägermeister, Amaretto di Sarone, etc and so forth.
