Let's be clear. Steroids alter your body. You might try to make the comparison that amphetamines alter your brain chemistry, but we're talking about the physical body. You can do things on steroids that you can't otherwise. I would argue you can do all the same things on greenies that you could without them. So they're not really the same at all. You can't pop a greenie and hit a 500 foot home run over night. But you can do all that and more injecting PEDs into your body, or using a cream, or eating gummies, or whatever other method there is to doing them.
When a guy is using PEDs, you're not seeing the same player playing the same game. You're seeing a different player creating a new career. I don't know if you guys have much experience with uppers, but I never saw a guy pop an Adderall and sprout a brand new body.

I believe the people sticking up for the amphetamine users are doing it because their favorite player(s) came from that era.
Let me explain what amphetamines really do. Just remember that day you went to work super tiered and was not very productive. Now take that same day and add amphetamines and now you just had one of your most productive days ever. That is what they really do.
