That statement is true of all amphetamines.

Look, this is what I'm driving at, you appear to have some illusions that methamphetamine is significantly different than other amphetamines, or has some higher toxicity profile, more addictive, IDK I'm trying to get you to tell me your biases.

At that point, we can go look at the clinical literature and see what the evidence is.

Yes - why, as your own source says, are amphetamines prescribed at 4,000 times the rate of methamphetamine? Is there no reason for that? Why does the medical system have such a bias?

Many reasons, that's a different discussion.

Note that you've gone from this statement, to acknowledging that they are regularly prescribed.

> Imagining a doctor writing a script for meth is pretty amusing, and maybe if that’s not a cool enough drug, they can hand out some crack or something.
