An excellent goal! I too hope that it will be possible to experiment and improve the performance of a human with tested, verified substances, known concentrations of active agents in them by legal means. As it stands now, in my country in EU, not only it's impossible to legally take amphetamines for ADHD (only Concerta is allowed for children), it's actually forbidden to diagnose it in adults. So here I am, sitting with my 8/9 DSM-5 symptoms in inattention and the only thing I can do about it is go find a meth dealer!

You probably don't need meth. I once tried meth out of panic when I had an overwhelming pile of work and really too little time to do it (I had to design and develop a comparably serious app from scratch alone in a week to production + do a lot of accounting-related paperwork). It helped great and I had no problem quitting (but it felt a way making me sure most of the people will so I strongly recommend to stay away from it). I tried amphetamine in about a month and it had almost no effect so I concluded the medicine I would have to be taking if legally could is Desoxyn. A couple of years passed, my brain chemistry recovered from the damage (tolerance in particular) meth does and now a minuscule speck of black market amphetamine dissolved in the morning tea is enough for amazing, satisfying full-day productivity and happiness. And it is many orders of magnitude less harmful than meth is. Don't take meth. Also don't take amphetamine if you can. An alternative I actually use when I really need productivity is simple nicotine in form of a vape - it's not nearly as good but also helps significantly (if you only use it a couple of months a year). But I still recommend everyone to avoid starting with nicotine either.

  Just to clarify, I'm not going to look up drug dealers and risk a charge forbidding any future international travel, etc. Also, if I would, it wouldn't be in the 'get high' dosage -- 20 mg for amphetamines, 10 mg for meth, typical dosage in ADHD medication would be the ceiling. Basically, legalizing them would allow me actual therapeutic experimentation. I used to smoke 10 years ago, so going back to nicotine in this case is a big nono. :)

    Yes, I think all the substances should be legal for qualified medical use. Even the substances with serious adverse effects in cases in which they do more good than harm. But a patient should have a right to opt-out and ask for an alternative treatment when there actually is any harm probable to expect. > forbidden to diagnose it in adults. This is plain outrageous.

By the way, given the fact American science is universally recognized, I actually wonder why won't all the counties and the EU countries in particular just recognize everything FDA approves. It is scientifically, clinically and time-proven Adderall helps with ADHD and hardly does any harm. Yet they stubbornly refuse to legalize it.
