What Is The Difference In The Methamphetamine And Amphetamine Drug?

Ok first of all I have a question about the answer about drug testing differences in methamphetamine and amphetamine. Who in the world answered that question? It made absolutely no sense whatsoever, and disturbs me a little that they are probably still answering questions. The comparison was made between the chemical reactions of the 2, but the answer did not even contain the chemical reaction for either one. It basically described the physical characteristics of the illicit drug, and gave the effect on the human brain for the amphetamine. The simple fact of the matter is there was no logic in that entire paragraph, although all facts stated were true it still had no bearing on the opening comparison. So I lied I had no question except in the ability of this person to answer ANY questions let alone medical ones.

Hello Dear
I evaluated your concern in depth .

* Amphetamine is scientifically - Methylated phenylethylamine .
* Methamphetamine is - Double methylated phenylethylamine .
So the double process is the primary difference between them in laboratory
or scientific instance .

Otherwise two chemicals / drugs are almost identical in nature causing same
side effects , dangers , potential of overdose , physical dependence and
addiction .
Hope this clears your query .
Thanks for using Health care magic .
