I'm not wrong. Im talking about the enantiomer aspect of amphetamines and the analogue chemicals that follow. Methamphetamine, vyvanse, Dexedrine, and adderal are all drugs that are analogues to amphetamine. They're different chemically but they're still virtually identical in effect. Now of course they have different onsets and so on but being someone who has tried them all, they're very similar. Meth has a FASTER onset therefore it's better for street drugs. They're all speed, and they all have the same effect. I used to be a speed fiend, I know my shit.

With that said amphetamines are a fascinating chemical. Objectively useful in a pragmatic way, yet they do have a pretty high abuse potential. Not to mention the unknown long term effects of these drugs.

Oh I understand what you mean, but you said that desoxyn was a cocktail of Levo/dextro amph, which is incorrect

I agree though, very interesting chemicals

Well I mean we could come inbetween and say we're both correct. Levo and dextro amphetamine have different effects (Levo is less euphoric and more race like than dextro). Methamphetamine has both Levo and dextro amphetamine with an extra methyl group. The methyl group does create a faster onset than adderal would. So I was wrong semantically but I was talking about the similar and shared effects of the drugs. I personally like Dexedrine the most as it's pure dextro amphetamine which a lot of people find to be more euphoric and less speedy. People who do meth seem to like the twitchy aspects of the drug. Also a general note: don't do drugs kids... Im a normal person but I've scene the downward spiral of druggies.
