Yeah healthy.. with no scientific backing to any of those statements.

Quote:
The most serious psychopathological harms associated with amphetamines use include psychosis, depression, suicidal behaviour, anxiety and violent behaviour (Darke et al., 2008). Psychosis induced by amphetamines is typically transient, involves delusions and hallucinations, and is similar to paranoid schizophrenia. It lasts for hours to days, and in severe cases may require hospitalisation and medication. Regular users of amphetamines commonly experience various psychotic symptoms, including feelings of persecution and auditory, visual and tactile hallucinations (such as a perception of parasites in the skin). In contrast to early studies, which attributed the onset of psychosis to pre-existing conditions, recent research shows that amphetamines use may cause psychosis. Psychosis, however, is not an inevitable consequence of amphetamines use, but its likelihood is dramatically increased by heavy use of the drug (Darke et al., 2008;)
Quote:
Amphetamines users are at elevated risk of cardiac pathology, including serious events such as unstable angina, and myocardial ischaemia and infarction. The risk is not likely to be limited to the duration of drug use, because the chronic cardiovascular pathology associated with amphetamines use may make the side-effects of the drug use more long-lasting. The risks are greatest among chronic amphetamines users, and pre-existing cardiac pathology, due to amphetamines use itself or to other factors, increases the risk of an acute cardiac event. Psychostimulant-induced cerebrovascular problems are also well recognised. Studies report an increase in the risk of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, and a substantially higher associated risk of death linked to such events (Darke et al., 2008). It is impossible to assess the risk of serious cardiac events solely on the basis of dose and level of use, as other factors may also play an important role. For this reason, information on potential cardiovascular complications related to amphetamines should be targeted to all users, not just dependent and chronic users.
Quote:
Other health effects and risks include neurotoxicity (12), risks associated with driving, dental disease, and maybe foetal growth restriction associated with amphetamines use during pregnancy. Alterations in brain structure and chemistry have been documented in heavy users of illicit amphetamines, although the clinical implications of these findings remain uncertain (Chang et al., 2007). Epidemiological data on the risks associated with the use of amphetamines when driving are rare and inconsistent (EMCDDA, 2008). Methamphetamine use has been associated with poor oral hygiene, including severe tooth decay and tooth wear (Hamamoto and Rhodus, 2009). Methamphetamine use causes xerostomia (dry mouth) and bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding), leading to rampant caries as users neglect their dental hygiene while frequently consuming carbonated sugary beverages. While some studies on amphetamines and pregnancy found insufficient evidence to evaluate the developmental toxicity of therapeutic amphetamines (Golub et al., 2005), another study found a 3.5 fold increased risk of foetal growth restriction among babies of women using methamphetamine during pregnancy (Smith et al., 2006).

I don't need to back up my statements because it should be common knowledge that amphetamines aren't healthy for you.

Yeah I remember back to 5th grade in DARE class (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), there was a whole unit on caffeine but I didn't even learn the word "amphetamine" until college.

thats meth though, meth is made with battery acid and if you've ever tasted molly, it tastes like shit because it isn't made right. my understanding of this subject is this-
Diet pills were derived from the plant ephedra. Ephedrine (ingredient in diet pills) used to be legal and also comes from the chinese plant ephedra. here is a quote i found-
(Amphetamine analogs are produced by plants in the genus Ephedra and by Catha edulis, and include the widely used decongestants and appetite suppressants pseudoephedrine and ephedrine.) http://www.cell.com/trends/plant-science/abstract/S1360-1385(12)00056-8
analogue means that ephedra turns into amphetamine so adderall is very similar to taking ephedra. I read somewhere too that they use ephedra to make amphetamines but they could easily synthetically mimic the same structure.
Most people who are against adderal just say it because they don't have insurance and they can't get it. But I say it's worth it, it helps you lose weight and clears up your sinuses. It depends your age though, I don't think it'd be good for kids under 20.
I've tried a lot of pills and drugs and this one doesn't have withdrawal symptoms and is very hard to overdose on
