Although the tablets and capsules were on prescription, there were nasal inhalers (preAfrin) that were over the counter from which users could extract the wick and obtain the amphetamine. I doubt it calmed anyone down though.

Yeah Benzedrine, quite right. Speed, very risky. Tranqs, no good either. Recall some goofs doing quaaludes back in the day. Yikes. Now they’re pitching acid for otherwise unresponsive PTSD cases. My layman impression is don’t. If you can’t get by on booze, blunts or both, stick your feet in the tub and dunk a hand vac.
