Is meth made via 'p2p' far more dangerous than meth made via 'ephedrine'?

Author Sam Quinones on an EconTalk podcast episode mentioned that Mexico made ephedrine, a precursor chemical to methamphetamine, illegal in 2008, and that this pushed the Mexican drug cartels to search for other ways to make methamphetamine. They then discovered how to make methamphetamine via 'p2p', 1-Phenyl-2-Propanone.

He further states that this particular version of methamphetamine can make the user far more antisocial, compulsive, with 'bizarre thoughts and conspiracies', unable to speak, and creating symptoms of schizophrenia or other mental illness.

How much truth or other research corroborates or disproves this?
