I see where MLB tests for them but what exactly are they and why are they so popular in baseball but I have never once heard anyone in society taking them. Just seems odd.

Anyone take them? why? what did they do? what are they compared to?

speed......if ur a skinny guy take a handful of diet pills you'll get the same effect. probably complete with a stomach pumping..
Shit makes you hyper, nervous ,paranoid and sweaty...kinda like a poor mans cocaine..
Im very skinny and the few times i did it i mostly just stayed balled up in a corner holding my stomach for 5 or 6 hours.
Cant stand being around a woman on it, god they chatter enough as it is...lol

today its been replaced by the meth smoking..meth is the form of speed, so u see a meth head your looking at a speed addict..
Truckers take them to stay awake..
and ballplayers usually take them when they were out all night the night before and need a lift to make it thru the game..

same thing as a rx diet pill. You'd need 4 monitors to post everything you'd want to if you took one. LOL Simular to Aderal. I took one during exam week when i was in college and I could not go to sleep at all the night i took it and could barely get to sleep the next night.

overall they are bad news and not much better than crystal meth if abused.

I have played in a few fantasy Camps and they had "greenies" readily available. I remeber people taking them by the pocketful. I liked to take a few first thing in the morning to get going.

The Good Old Day of Amphetamines ( Uppers )

Ice, You must be Young ?? or a lot younger then me.

Amphetamins ( I never called them that ) Know as Uppers were great pills in the 70's , like Black Beautys, Black Mollies, Yellowjacks, Christmas Trees, Robins Eggs,Footballs, etc, etc, etc..

They were a Great short term Pick me upper. You really couldn't just take one, you needed to take a few if you needed to stay up if you were dead tired.
Only problem was that when the High was Over, you sometimes felt like shit !

Methamphetamine - aka Amphetamines - when properly used according to directions - are excellent sources of mental and physical stimulation.

Most commonly prescribed are Aderall, Desoxyn and for minors (usually) - Ritalin.

Most common cause for need is narcolepsy and/or other challenges staying awake and alert for extended periods.

Though they are often employed by people wishing to work longer 'shifts' (truckers, double-shift workers on graveyard etc), it is not uncommon for many people, due to phsyiology and/or use of other medications (which may increase drowsiness) to use amphetamines to keep their brains and body in proper balance.

Air Force fighter pilots are routinely ordered to take amphetamines prior to running their assigned routes.

"Meth-amphetamine" has also over the past 10 to 15 years become fairly common street slang for street-manufactured amphetamine-like drug concoctions which have a base running a gamut of ingredients.

Such street-made "meth" is very risky to use since the ingredients are not formulated in regulated fashion and also because the resultant dose and effects cannot be accurately predicted. Therefore, users routinely overdose and throw their bodies and brains way out of sync.

Moreover, street-manufactured methamphetamine often involves a chemical processing which exposes the maker and surrounding area (house, car, building etc) to great danger of chemical explosions. The post-production leavings are also toxic and present a long-term health risk to anyone or any building exposed to them.

Meth is some bad stuff. As has been documented before on this site, I was married to a meth-addict for a short period, less than a year. I would see one woman in the morning and that same woman was very different later in the day (I won't go into detail, but it wasn't pretty). I will say I experimented with speed and coke in college, but meth is a much different and violent animal. Anytime you mix stuff like battery acid, ether, windex (the cleaning solution), ephedra, etc. to get a high, you can't expect the consequences to be good. The high, from what I'm told is great, but it's very addictive and very dangerous, to both take and make.
