### True but irrelevant scaremongering (i.e. propaganda). Amphetamine
dramatically improves focus and mental stamina, which is why it is widely
used in the treatment of ADHD/ADD. Also, it is the most dramatically
effective antidepressant but due to the propaganda it is almost never used
for that indication.

You *can* burn out your brain with high doses of amphetamine, usually 10x
to 30x therapeutic level but that's a different story. The risk of losers
getting addicted and screwing themselves up is not a good reason to deny
this very useful medication to those who need it.

For the sake of full disclosure, I have never used amphetamine or any other
enhancing drugs, aside from caffeine and even that rarely.
