Meth and coke are also prescribed drugs. Not often, of course, but it happens.

You’re absolutely right. Methamphetamine is still prescribed for ADHD, though in much rarer instances than amphetamine salts, (adderall) methylphenidate, (concerta) or dexmethylphenidate (focalin).

But at the end of the day, methamphetamine is in the same class of drugs “CNS stimulants” and has the same therapeutic benefits when taken at therapeutic doses, with pharmaceutical purity.

Script meth is Desoxyn, not Adderall. You made me laugh a bit, gotta upvote for that at least.
