amphetamine has been researched along with Marijuana Abuse in 31 studies

Amphetamine: A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.
1-phenylpropan-2-amine : A primary amine that is isopropylamine in which a hydrogen attached to one of the methyl groups has been replaced by a phenyl group.
amphetamine : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)-amphetamine (also known as levamphetamine or levoamphetamine) and (S)-amphetamine (also known as dexamfetamine or dextroamphetamine.

"To test whether cannabis dependence is associated with a similar dopaminergic deficit, we examined striatal and extrastriatal dopamine release in severely cannabis-dependent participants (CD), free of any comorbid conditions, including nicotine use."1.46Deficits in striatal dopamine release in cannabis dependence. ( Abi-Dargham, A; Cassidy, CM; Dong, Z; Ghazzaoui, R; Haney, M; Kegeles, LS; Ojeil, N; Slifstein, M; Vadhan, NP; van de Giessen, E; Volkow, ND; Weinstein, JJ; Xu, X, 2017)
"Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine anxiolytic widely prescribed for treatment of panic-disorder and social phobias, although this medication is also subject to abuse."1.39Concentrations of alprazolam in blood from impaired drivers and forensic autopsies were not much different but showed a high prevalence of co-ingested illicit drugs. ( Holmgren, A; Jones, AW, 2013)
"The aim of this study was the assessment of disorders after chronic intake of psychoactive drugs, like marijuana, amphetamine, ecstasy, cocaine and opiates."1.32[Assessment of disorders after chronic psychoactive drug abuse in patients hospitalized in detoxification units]. ( Chrostek Maj, J; Kamenczak, A; Kroch, S; Polewka, A; Szerszeń-Motyka, J, 2004)
" The statistical distribution of the drug concentrations compared with the self-reported consumption behaviour of the users may possibly lead to a better understanding of the relationship between drug dosage and corresponding concentrations in hair."1.29Concentrations of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cocaine and 6-monoacetylmorphine in hair of drug abusers. ( Kauert, G; Röhrich, J, 1996)
