Isn't Dexedrine just slow release dextroamphetamine?

There isn't really a whole lot of difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine. Meth is, weight for weight, stronger due to the methyl- group enabling the molecule to pass through cell membranes / the blood-brain barrier easier, and at the effect-equivalent dose most people wouldn't notice any difference.






Adderall is a mixture of 75% Dextroamphetamine and 25% Levoamphetamine.
