Some Mexican pharmacies are selling full bottles of Adderall. But it's meth

Many reasons, that's a different discussion.

Note that you've gone from this statement, to acknowledging that they are regularly prescribed.

I assume in a country of 300 million people, every prescription drug is probably prescribed to someone. I’d say what I take issue with is “regularly”. I’ve known many people who have prescriptions for amphetamine, and zero who ever got a prescription for methamphetamine (though certainly some took it anyway).

The 4000:1 prescription number would seem to corroborate my impression that it is quite rare.
