Clarkson's personality perfectly exemplifies his article. His personality is more of a thrill seeker, so to him, speed is very calming.

However, people with high levels of serotonin get scared easily, so speed to them equates to fear. Fear makes them think more, or worse, clam up.

Ritalin is an upper and helps you focus, so I'd imagine that speed would do the same, except 10x more powerful ... oh wait ...

Ritalin is very low dose Methamphetamine , speed is just a high dose of methamphetamine along with any impurities the cook puts in like ground up glass & rat poison.

I've made it pretty far on diesel. Speed has never had that kind of relevance.
I wouldn't place a dime on Clarkson's theory.
Anybody ever noticed, he's got crooked teeth, esp. when he's laughing?

I will now be heading to the gym more frequently, as well as making an effort to get some sun on my legs......
