    I take it myself and have done so for 10+ years, and know the chemistry of it. It’s in the same tree, but it’s absolutely not meth.

    If it were meth, it’d be called meth.

      Adderall is not meth, but it’s still a form of speed/amphetamine and is still addictive to some neurotypical people. Maybe not as addictive or dangerous, but very much in the same category.

      The reason ADHD people don’t get addicted is because of their altered neurology and the doses it’s prescribed at.

      In fact actual meth is sometimes prescribed to ADHD patients in small doses. It’s called Desoxyn.

        Yes. Absolutely. But it is not meth, as people keep trying to claim.
