I've never taken them, but have seen plenty of people who have. I wouldn't say
that the "go pill" makes you "high", unless you believe alertness after being
up for 24 hours is feeling "high".

I don't really know how to define `high' in this respect. In any case the use of amphetamines

was an issue in connection with the friendly fire incident in Afghanistan in which two USAF F-16s

bombed Canadian troops. I must admit I don't know the outcome of that. Has there been a conclusion?
