You mean bootleg moonshine w the poison comment.

People who produce bootleg moonshine are still making it from corn mash. They also drink it to get drunk and sell it to others to get drunk. So producing a deadly product isn't really an option, ignoring the inherent danger in consuming copious amounts of very pure ethanol.

It's not the ethanol amount, it's the byproducts from the distilling process that if you don't do properly, can make you go blind over time. Even wine can have some debris in it, that stuff isn't bad, but people just are grossed out from it.
Also, making it from corn is how you make it in the first place, if you make it from something else, say potatoes, you get something else, say vodka.

Most of the contaminates come from poorly recycled automotive parts used to make homemade stills and not from the production process itself since fermented corn mash can't produce methanol. Although this is also discounting unscrupulous distillers who spike their product with methanol but it's never a good idea to kill/poison your customers.

You can also use agave.

Bourbon is actually a barrel aged moonshine.
