Both illegal, and both come at a high price, one way or another.

Dangerous.

With regard to phentamine, I don't think there is such a word,
I may be wrong on this of course, I think they use parts of the
amphetamine word to draw attention to the product, but doubt it
will be beneficial to assisting in weight loss as amphetamine or
methamphetamine would. There is a drug known as phentermine which
is a form of amphetamine.

They all take the appetite away, make you talk like an idiot,
sweat, palpitate, and can lead to death.

Amphetamines were used by Hitlers Doctors
in wars to help keep soldiers alert, and boost
the courage, they felt invincible, same with the
Japanese.

Kamikaze on amphetamine and booze was no problem.


They were once the main ingredient in diet pills,
because they stop people feeling hungry.

Some amphetamines are used in medicine, for example,
Ritalin is used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.


They were heavily marketed as an energy pill during the
late 1950's and 1960's when I think they were banned as
a dangerous pill.

Referred to then as Purple Hearts.

Shaped like a heart and purple in colour.

There was talk that amphetamines were given to American GI's
during WW11 when they went into battle hand to hand against
The Japs in The Pacific.

No idea if this is true or not.

People take it because it gives them the energy to
do things for hours without getting tired, things like
dancing, talking, and going out. Quite a favourite on the
rave dancing scene of the 90's especially.

It causes numerous psychotic problems, puts a strain on
the heart and as mentioned can lead to death.

Similar to most drugs, teeth fall out, health deteriorates
numerous cases of folk becoming dangerously paranoid.

Leave it alone.
