      Do you know what the first legal government meth was?

          Hm? Widen your scope of semantic salience my friend, I do say something different, but that’s just academia, don’t take it too seriously it’s not a challenge.

          Wow I just went down a rabbit hole… I feel (pray) so many things would have to fail for you to actually get that Rx filled tho

            It’s a very effective medicine, though. For example, in small doses it’s more effective than adderall or Ritalin for ADHD. It’s less common than either of those drugs because there is a higher abuse potential, but there is nothing really wrong with it either.

            The key here is small doses taken orally. Taking it in a medical context is a very different animal than recreational methamphetamine.

      Our air force crews are often given one of these during combat missions. I imagine other military units use them when necessary, too. They also prescribe it to people with severe narcolepsy.
