  • They do because that’s factually correct. But is it worth reporting that a government website reflects events?

    It would be news in my opinion if there was an actual message behind it. But since there’s no warning, not even partial, it doesn’t carry political weight – which in my think the headline implies (though the article makes it clear that it’s not).

    Basically, the headline can be reduced to “German agency does its job”









  • No, amphetamine is speed, but not all amphetamines are what you’d call speed. Methamphetamine for example works very differently from MDMA, the effects also differ a lot.

    Just because meth is sometimes sold as speed doesn’t mean that’s what it refers to.

    Examples: MDMA can be used in a psychiatric setting for PTSD. Neither meth nor amphetamine are suitable for this. But the latter two are actually legal ADHS medications in the US, which has never been explored for MDMA and I think it also wouldn’t be a good candidate.
