In reply to Desoxyn- any better than Dexedrine/Dextrostat?, posted by 3 Beer Effect on June 9, 2002, at 0:26:30

Methamphetamine is smoother than dextroamphetamine (i.e. less likely to cause jitteriness and bad physical effects), so IMO it is a better drug...then again it can be used recreationally at higher doses which is probably why it is so heavily regulated.
