it is way better than street level amfetamine.
Until the 1970s these pills were was handed out by doctors at Universities and some companies especially to people doing long shifts, and professors and engineers who had to keep focused on boring but essential tasks like doing pages and pages of hard maths, or wiring up electronic circuits, or listening to communications radios to accurately copy down encrypted morse code message and then decrypt them (the messages potentially being in any language).
there was usually a big oversupply in case they were needed for “weekend overtime”, but trade unions made sure that this had extra pay so it wasn’t as common. So these folk had plenty of spare pills, and trade unions often had social clubs where they could have “discotheques” 😉
Of course this stuff cannot totally extend mental and physical endurance so doses must be regulated or the user will end up feeling like they have fought and died in 3 world wars; but moderate use is not harmful and can be beneficial. When it was more commonly prescribed, Britain was at the top of Europe with regard to engineering, technology and had a thriving manufacturing industry…
