neurotoxic may not be the right word. People have been on amphetamines for over 50 years. Changes
can be shown in abusers, at doses way higher than
clinically used. It is really hard to find an long term meth abuser, who did not other drugs,
did not live on the street, ect. "Pure" test subjects are not at hand.I think if amphetamine was neurotoxic at clinical doses, after 60 years we would see evidence of this. I do not agree that a change in neurology
means damage, in all cases.
