25 games sounds less serious...thought it was 50 automatically?

wikipedia for Amphetamines.

Amphetamine (USAN, abbreviated from alpha-methylphenethylamine), α-methylphenethylamine, or amfetamine (INN) is a psychostimulant drug of the phenethylamine class that produces increased wakefulness and focus in association with decreased fatigue and appetite.

Brand names of medications that contain, or metabolize into, amphetamine, include Adderall, Dexedrine, Dextroamphet, Dextrostat, Desoxyn,[2] Didrex, ProCentra, and Vyvanse, as well as Benzedrine or Psychedrine in the past.

The drug is also used recreationally and as a performance enhancer.

I think amphetamines aren't as severe a suspension as PEDS.

[ATL#22]

Yeah I thought 50 was the minimum?

Yeah first offense for amphetamines is 25 games.
