> Certainly I could have realized it would lead to weight loss, I just never really thought of it that way. I can’t be the only one, and I am simply surprised it’s not a part of the broader conversation. Here's the thing... Unless you (err, uhm) need an amphetamine, they really have nasty side effects and can lead to serious health problems. IE, in the 1960s and 1970s they were used for weight loss, and they were pulled from the market for good reason. You can go do the digging needed to find out why, but the cliff notes reason is that amphetamines increase risk of heart attack, and for many people cause amphetamine psychosis when used for extended periods of time.
