    I mean, you technically sort of are taking meth in a way, but that’s because you need it since you react differently to it.

    I mean, there’s nothing wrong with someone with severe physical trauma being given fentanyl for example.

      dexamphetamine literally lacks the methyl group which gives “meth” it’s name.

      You are 100% NOT taking meth when you take ADHD stims. The only thing linking the two is the core ingredient which is a methyl-5 molecule, which your body makes on its own.

      The drug meth is a synthetic methyl-5 compound with a ton of other nasty crap in it that doesn’t exist in ADHD medication.

      Like I said, whoever says that is in the same group as the American cheese is almost plastic crowd.
