A therapeutic dosage of methamphetamine (Desoxyn) is about 5mg - 15mg, whereas a recreational dosage can be as high as several hundred milligrams. Though certainly toxic at higher doses, research hasn't shown that the drug is toxic at therapeutic levels. Like the majority of drugs, doctors must balance its benefits with any potential side effects.
You can disagree with my comparison if you'd like, but the fact remains. Don't take my word for it - I encourage you to read some of the research out there surrounding therapeutic methamphetamine as well as the more common levo/detroamphetamine.
- code_duck 13y agoI'm sure all the pharmaceutical corporations would love to have me hooked on their methamphetamine, and the history of these companies and the way they have taken advantage of and poison of the American public should be well known by now. Amphetamines are highly addictive. They require perpetually higher doses to maintain the same activity in the body, like most other highly addictive substances. I'm sure there are some legitimate therapeutic usages for these drugs (narcolepsy). However, I see them as massively over prescribed to people who do not actually require them.
