- IMHO a good practice would be to call amphetamine and all its (stimulant)
- N-alkyl analogues "amphetamines". A distinction would then be made between them
- and the "psychedelic amphetamines". Of course, some compounds such as MDMA
- would be excluded, as "psychedelic" would not describe their effects with
- sufficient precision.
