      Desoxyn is a brand name of methamphetamine hydrochloride. Literally the quintessential ADHD med.

      It’s completely different than the street drug “meth”. The only similarity is the methyl-5 ingredient, which is a molecule that our body naturally synthesizes continuously.

        Slightly surprised it hasn’t spawned a factoid that claims the body makes meth/is full of it.
