Here's the thing. You said "Pervitin is an amphetamine."

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a historian who studies amphetamines, I am telling you, specifically, in history, no one calls Pervitin an amphetamine. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "amphetamine family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of amphetamines, which includes things from Adderall to Pervitin to meth.

So your reasoning for calling Pervitin an amphetamine is because random people "call the prescription ones amphetamines?" Let's get benzedrine inhalers and Tylenol in there, then, too.

Also, calling something crack or a coca leaf? It's not one or the other, that's not how drugs work. They're both. Pervitin is Pervitin and a member of the amphetamine family. But that's not what you said. You said Pervitin is an amphetamine, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the amphetamine family , which means you'd call Adderall, Tylenol and other prescription drugs amphetamines, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
