Stimulants at therapeutic (pharmaceutical) doses aren't as terrible on the body as one might expect. Especially when you compare it with something like cocaine (which does funky stuff to the heart/Calcium channels) or recreational doses (several times the avg/median prescribed dose). They can and often do have side effects etc, but Jeff blowing coke at a party is much more likely to have a problem.
