You wrote, "For one, Adderall, is a mix of 4 different amphetamine salts. 1/4 of adderall is dextroamphetamine. The other one is (d,l) amphetamine sulfate, known as benzadrine"
Simply to prevent the possiblity of confusion, Adderall is 50% dextroamphetamine and 50% racemic amphetamine. Racemic amphetamine contains (d,l) amphetamine in a 50/50 ratio, which means that Adderall is composed of 3/4 dextroamphetamine and 1/4 levamphetamine. Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong.
You also wrote, "Benzadrine, use to be marketed as a weight loss drug, and was abused back in the day"
The mixture of amphetamine salts used in Adderall was also marketed as a drug to promote weight-loss (before it was named Adderall).
