View Full Version : Medical meth. No need to debate about it because it's already legal.

So yeah, it is FDA approved and it goes by the trade name of Desoxyn, but its really just Meth (and salt, used as a binder). It is a schedule II drug just like Morphine, OxyContin, etc. They have been prescribing it for ADHD, narcolepsy, depression, and morbid obesity for many years and the dosage is FAR FAR LESS than what a tweaker would use to get high.

Chemically, Meth is an amphetamine just like any of the other drugs prescribed for these conditions... Dexedrine, Adderall, Ritalin, etc etc. The only thing that really seperates Meth from the other amphetamines is that you can't make potent Adderall or Ritalin in your garage.

So there you have it... the one "moral panic" every single opponent of MMJ fears the most, the precedent that Medical Meth could be out on the streets. It has been there all along and most people haven't even been bothered as to notice. :screwy:

you are just obsessed with a bunch of pot heads running around. I bet you would love it if your doc was high as a kite on meth and weed while doing a simple surgery on you.

Your comment made no sense. At all. Doctors know what they should and shouldn't be taking, and as litigious as American culture is now no doctor with an ounce of self-preservation instinct would operate while intoxicated.

As far as the rest of your commentary goes... there are plenty of "potheads running around" who hold good jobs and are just as productive as anyone else.

interesting never heard of it.

I think the rationale is pretty solid for legalizing MMJ. Opponents really dont have a leg to stand on anymore as there are far worse things that are already legal.

The Moral issue really has no relevance as its just as "morally" wrong to get lit on liquor and plow into a car full of kids as it is if you were high.
