The only memory-based effects of methamphetamine I've heard of have been impairment, not improvement. Do you have any citations? Also, methamphetamine has a very high addiction potential. I don't know if this does - I've yet to even glance at the paper - but I would be willing to hedge money on your comparison being between apples & oranges. |

Meth makes you vastly more intelligent, that's partly why people get addicted to it. It may impair memory and intelligence in the long term, but this new drug may well do the same, so if you want to do an apples-to-apples comparison then you really have to compare the short-term effects of meth with the short-term effects of this new drug.
Also, I wouldn't say that the addiction potential of meth is that high unless you're abusing it. It's currently a prescription drug that's available to anyone age 6 and over, meaning the government thinks it's less dangerous than marijuana.
