I know they gave British WWII troops Amphetamine Sulphate (Speed) for the
same purpose.
Side effects? Short Term = Cramps, Bleeding Gums, Lethargy (all on
comedown). Long Term = Paranoia, Weight Loss, Heart Trouble (If you REALLY
abuse the stuff).
These are all the bad side effects - there are good ones too, especially the
intelligence boost. Speed helps you to concentrate and think as much as you
like, without becoming bored or tired. Another is heightened sex drive.
Speed is a powerful enhancer of sexual sensations. As they say - speed's the
poor man's coke.
Rob.
