> From what i've read. Cocaine is not nuertoxic? And Amphetamine is?....well i knew that. Methamphetamine destroys dopmaine whatever you call them, nuerons.
From some of the most current literature, amphetamine induced neurotoxity is spoken about as if already proven. I really don't know what the truth is. I know that up until a few years ago, methamphetamine was considered the major culprit, and not dexamphetamine. There was plenty of debate back then. I imagine there still is.
The UK has a real problem with the abuse of amphetamine provided by illicit sources. It seems far worse there than in the USA. Perhaps this motivates the search for neurotoxicity. I would just like to see more evidence and more discussion before scaring the hell out of people.
