I get where you're coming from, but the stereoisomers in the formulation for Adderall are clearly defined, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall

> Combination of

> amphetamine aspartate monohydrate 25% – stimulant (12.5% levo; 12.5% dextro)

> amphetamine sulfate 25% – stimulant (12.5% levo; 12.5% dextro)

> dextroamphetamine saccharate 25% – stimulant (0% levo; 25% dextro)

> dextroamphetamine sulfate 25% – stimulant (0% levo; 25% dextro)

I don't see why there should be no regulation? They are distinct chemicals, in that sense...



Yeah you are right. I wonder how closely this is adhered to in practice. Stranger things have happened in the pharma world.

But yes I was definitely mistaken. Thank you for the correction
