I should be able to buy methamphetamine over-the-counter
It would have a lot of other benefits.
You don’t ever hear about people getting arrested for selling/making their own tobacco products or alcohol, because they’re available. Illicit manufacturing would go away.
I’d be able to buy Sudafed again without showing my ID.

There’s still a whole negative thing about methamphetamine being highly addictive, but so are both tobacco and alcohol.
I don’t know if prescription grade methamphetamine is more or less addictive to normal people, but I assume so.
As far as I can tell, people with ADHD can’t get addicted.
That sounds like insane druggie thinking (“I’m not addicted, I can quit whenever I want“), but I have been taking it daily for decades, and I still routinely forget to take a dose for a couple of days.
Not only ~could~ I quit whenever I want, I quit pretty regularly on accident.
Do you mean you use illicit methamphetamine? Or are you talking about ADHD stimulants?
I have never in my life used an illicit drug. That’s not a moral stance, it’s just that I’m a rule follower and have been lucky enough to have access to prescribed ADHD medication.
Could be I’m conflating the two, but I would’ve assumed that Adderall is equally addictive as illicit meth
It’s basically codeine cough syrup vs OxyContin. Even though they’re closely related substances that have similar *qualitative* effects the actual experience can be incredibly more potent.
Also, route of administration greatly affects addiction liability. Smoking or injecting are very different from swallowing it.
