not just soldiers.. everybody had a good time with amphies for a while there. I don't know if the problem got as big as oxycontin but it was severe.

Amphetamine and Methamphetamine still commonly prescribed in USA, mainly for folks in the HN demographic. You'd be surprised.
Not just in USA. For folks with AD(H)D it's being prescribed to it is, however, barely useful for "having a good time" (unless you count having some kind of predictability on how you focus on tasks to be "a good time", which I guess works for its literal meaning).
Be nice if it didn't ball and chain you to a particular state...
I'm one, and I wish they worked as well for me as people in this comment chain are making them seem.
