Comment on Anon is anti drugs
Kampfkrapfen_Backup@lemmy.world 4 months agoAdderall is amphetamine, the base compound.
Meth is methamphetamine, amphetamine with a methyl group attached to it, so it’s very closely related to Adderall. That small change makes it a bit more potent, longer lasting and euphoric though.
But meth can also get prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsia in very rare cases where even Adderall doesn’t seem to do the trick. So basically, both substances can be used therapeutically and they both can fuck up your life if you start abusing them, with meth admittedly being more potent and dangerous than regular amphetamine.

While there is credence in this example but we all know chemistry does not work like this. For example, H2O, very good, essential for all life. H2O2, not so much.
