      Although the ADHD joke is spot on - ADHD gets treated with amphetamines, and straight up meth is used for the most severe cases (I myself am on dextroamphetamine for my ADHD)

        methamphetamine is neurotoxic and not used medically, except the levo isomer in some cough/congestion formulas

          Desoxyn would like a word.

          Edit to add: more commonly prescribed amphetamines are neurotoxic, too. Whether they are neurotoxic at clinical doses is still debated.
