I mean, isn't adderal some kind of amphetamine? They give us speed because our brain wiring makes it chill out instead of tweak out.

AFAIK yes, but no. Same family of compounds but not the same thing, like comparing opioid drugs to straight up opium.

Different dose mainly.

There's also desoxyn which is methamphetamine.
