Methamphetamine

Known as “meth” for short, this is a powerful and addictive stimulant that affects your central nervous system. Like cocaine, it is a powerful ”upper” that produces alertness along with a bunch of bad reactions. Meth is a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that dissolves in water or alcohol and is a byproduct of amphetamine. Meth can come in large chunky crystals that look like ice or in powder form, where it can be swallowed, snorted, diluted, or injected.

Meth is manufactured in illegal laboratories using a combination of over-the-counter ingredients and an array of corrosive, toxic, cancer-causing chemicals.

Common nicknames: Speed, meth, chalk, ice, crystal, glass, and tina. Many more names are also used: blue meth, chick feed, cinnamon, crink, desocins, geep, granulated orange, hot ice, kaksonjae, and so on.
