   	And crystal meth is usually these day the product of illegal   
   labs not produced by ethical companies except for prescription use.   
   Dexedrine (dextro-amphetamine sulfate) is an oral drug which used   
   to be widely available on prescription.  I used to use it when I   
   became sensitive to caffeine in the 1960s to help me stay alert on   
   night shifts,   
   	Now-a-days you might get lucky and be able to get a prescription of   
   dexadrine but it will be hard to do.  That is one   
   reason that IV drug abuse has replaced oral use.IMO
