In some cases they literally prescribe methamphetamine. It’s sold under the brand desoxyn. My ex girlfriend had it. Since then, I’ve stopped conflating the two. They are similar but not quite the same.

Agreed. I would not recommend this line of thinking

I’ll speak from experience: I used to like having a tolerance because it allowed me to “hang” with people that were heavier drinkers than I was. All this ended up doing for me was pave the way for alcoholism to set in.
