“Aren’t the exact same” is a huge understatement…
nope, grue is right. medical anti-adhd amphetamines use vs street use mostly boils down to dose and route of administration. there is difference in potency but not some massive like with fentanyl vs heroin (20x)
That is misinformation. methamphetamine is more addictive and has about twice the duration of amphetamine, not to mentiom different effects.
the only real difference is t1/2, fine, but it hits the same receptors with potency that is at least in the same ballpark (as in, not 10x, more like 2x)
