I disagree with treating amphetamines in a blanket "drugs r bad 4 u" way because there are people that see legitimate improvement in their lives because of them. I'm not one of the extreme cases that wind up using them everyday for the rest of their lives and see long-term improvement, but my grades were consistentky higher than normal while I was on them, and I was participating in more school events and hanging out with friends more. There will always be people with addictive personalities and yeah shrinks will prey on these types for their easy prescription $$$ but why should that have any bearing on people who know themselves, know they aren't the type to easily medicate, and bother to do their due diligence? The moment my doc mentioned a drug name I was doing research on it and reading testimonies and forum discussions on it for a month before I decided to try it, and even then I dropped it within the year despite it having positive effects. Not everyone is some high school junkie. Just by making this thread OP atleast proves he has the basic sense to ask someone before pulling the trigger.
