When it comes to concentration, reaction time, hand-eye co-oordination and other frontal lobe cognitive functions methamphetamine is most certainly a performance enhancer. Why do you think US military pilots are given its little cousin, dextroamphetamine before flying combat missions (Google GO Pills). Air Combat = high speed, high stress manoeuvring for long periods of time requiring intense concentration. NASCAR = high speed, high stress manoeuvring for long periods of time requiring intense concentration. the so called "effects" of meth that you list and base your non-performance enhancing conclusion upon are the comedown effects, what happens as the drug wears off, not when high. Meth is the perfect drug for NASCAR. Joining the discussion one year late but I simply had to point out that your argument is fundamentally flawed.
