There's a significant difference between amphetamines and methamphetamine.

With meth, you're effectively getting several times the dose you would of the same weight of amphetamines, because it enters the brain quicker and is more neurotoxic.

The Allies used 'go pills' in WW2, primarily for airmen, but deliberately opted for amphetamines over methamphetamine precisely because meth was recognized as much more dangerous to both user and everyone around the user.
