    From wikipedia:

    but now it is rarely prescribed, due to concerns of misuse and addiction.

    Sounds like its a diet amphetamine and in my experience our Healthcare professionals only like prescribing amphetamines to rambunctious children and teens./s

      All this makes me think is that it was

      • too fun
      • too little pesky side effects
      • little chance or killing or severely bodily/psychically maiming you in the absence of a drs supervision

        I seem to recall there being serious side effects for some people, though it was widly effective for weight loss.
