The reality of the situation is that you need pharmaceutical grade speed and speed-like products for a functional health system. I used to make 5cc vials of 5mg pure ephedrine for immediate stanching of bloodflow during surgery. That's an amphetamine. You bet that's an amphetamine, every time it showed up on site I had to piss in the cup for the DEA and do like 300 extra pages of handwritten paperwork. Pseudoephedrine is an amphetamine, it's practically meth without the fun part, and it's also the only extant non-steroidal nasal decongestant that works, specifically because it's lame meth. Directed pharmaceutical use of amphetamines has very obviously enriched the lives of many OPs in this thread.

The other side of that reality coin is that the DEA are terrible and set manufacturing limits that nobody want to go near because it means the DEA are going to come to your plant with more people than they already have, and they're going to flip out about getting anywhere remotely near your yearly limit. Pharma companies are a ruthless cartel and amphetamines aren't worth real money unless you're selling them on the street vs. shipping as much Ozempic as you can manufacture currently. These behaviors of two drug cartels are not conducive to the mass-production of good, clean, USP-grade speed. Contract and generics manufacturers with DEA licenses are not a dime a dozen.
