Yes - why, as your own source says, are amphetamines prescribed at 4,000 times the rate of methamphetamine? Is there no reason for that? Why does the medical system have such a bias?
Note that you've gone from this statement, to acknowledging that they are regularly prescribed.
> Imagining a doctor writing a script for meth is pretty amusing, and maybe if that’s not a cool enough drug, they can hand out some crack or something.
The 4000:1 prescription number would seem to corroborate my impression that it is quite rare.
