Methamphetamine, also known as “speed,” “meth,” “crystal,” “crank” or “ice,” is a chemical widely known for its stimulant properties on the human body. It is a central nervous system stimulant from the amphetamine family. Like cocaine, it produces alertness, and elation, along with a variety of adverse reactions. The effects of methamphetamine, however, are much longer lasting then the effects of cocaine, yet the cost is roughly the same. For this reason, methamphetamine is sometimes called the “poor man’s cocaine.” It is frequently confused with other drugs that share similar symptoms, including amphetamine, 4-methyl-aminorex(ice), ephedrine, caffeine, and other chemicals, both legal and illegal. The word speed, in street terms, often refers to any one of these substances.
