Amphetamines were originally created to be medicines. They were used to treat asthma and nasal congestion, sleep disorders, and hyperactivity .

Drugs can help human beings live healthier lives. We think of these types of drugs as medicines. But drugs can also be dangerous when they’re not taken in the way they were intended to be used. Even legal, helpful drugs can be deadly when they’re not taken in the ways they are supposed to be used. When amphetamines are abused, they can be very dangerous.
