I called the doctor that the maker of Desoxyn uses to research the stuff and give advice to the company on things related to it, and he said he was looking for studies but hadn't been able to find any yet. He said it was likely because it was first made in 1944.

They both say methamphetamine hcl on the label, I think I'll just continue to call it meth to save all the confusion. :)
