Methamphetamine is serotonergic. Adderall is not. Methamphetamine tends to induce psychosis that makes the user hostile and dangerous. Adderall certainly can, but the chances of that happening are hardly comparable. There are numerous valid reasons why meth has an extreme stigma and Adderall does not. Attempting to infect Adderall with that stigma makes life so much harder for people like me who can't function without taking it. People ought to be precise with their language when they talk about things they understand, and they ought to be silent about things they don't understand. Other than to ask questions to attempt to understand of course, but how often does that happen?
