I think methamphetamine is only a little more neurotoxic for an equivalent dose. Methamphetamine is more potent because it more easily crosses the blood brain barrier, but the effects are almost identical. It's also prescribed for ADHD, i.e. Desoxyn.

> the effects are almost identical This has been my experience too. I don't think I could tell them apart if I was drugged with an equivalent dose and not told which was which. I think the appeal behind meth is mainly the better value, its ability to be smoked, and the difficulty in adulterating it (since it is typically sold in crystalline form, whereas amphetamine is often sold as a powder or paste).
