It’s not worth the danger of the chase for a traffic violation, and not worth the danger of the chase for the drugs.

    That’s not how chemistry nomenclature works.

    Methyl and methylene groups are present in tons of molecules, they don’t make those molecules methamphetamines. That’s like saying people who use olive oil are eating motor oil because they both have the word oil in the name.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group#:~:text=In organic chemistry%2C a methyl,stable group in most molecules.

    Please do not spout nonsense about things you don’t understand.

    MDMA has similarities to amphetamine but it’s mechanism of action is different enough that is has a wildly different safety profile and patterns of use/addiction potential. Either drug containing a methyl group is not what makes them dangerous, that word only describes a part of their structure.

      I understand it just fine.

      You appear to think it’s not an amphetamine which isn’t true.

      And your weird oil explanation. lol. Clown world.
