What is Meth?

Powder Methamphetamine, commonly called speed or crank, is a central nervous system stimulant that has a crystalline appearnce much like salt. It is often found in blocks or chunks that look like thick peanut butter brittle. Depending on the way it is made it can also be red, pink, yellow, green, or tan. It is produced in illegal clandestine laboratories which are covered more in detail in the sections labeled Meth Labs.

The newest and more popular form of Methamphetamine is commonly referred to as Ice, Shards, or Crystal. It looks like tiny pieces of rock salt, crushed ice or small broken pieces of glass which is where it gets its name. It is more potent than the powder form of Methamphetamine and is often smoked to increase the effects of the high.

Methamphetamine is a very addictive stimulant drug that affects the central nervous system. It is a Schedule II stimulant, which means it has a high potential for abuse and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled. However, its medical uses are limited and the doses prescribed are much lower than those typically abused. Most of the methamphetamine abused in this country comes from foreign or domestic superlabs, although it can also be made in small, illegal laboratories, where its production endangers the people in the labs, neighbors, and the environment.

How is Methamphetamine Abused?

Methamphetamine is a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water or alcohol and is taken orally, intranasally (snorting the powder), by needle injection, or by smoking.

How Does Methamphetamine Affect the Brain?

Methamphetamine increases the release of very high levels of the brain chemical dopamine, which is involved in motivation, the experience of pleasure, and motor function, and is a common mechanism of action for most drugs of abuse.

Chronic methamphetamine abuse significantly changes how the brain functions. Noninvasive human brain imaging studies have shown alterations in the activity of the dopamine system that are associated with reduced motor performance and impaired verbal learning.1 Recent studies in chronic methamphetamine abusers have also revealed severe structural and functional changes in areas of the brain associated with emotion and memory, which may account for many of the emotional and cognitive problems observed in chronic methamphetamine abusers.

Long-term methamphetamine abuse can also lead to addiction—a chronic, relapsing disease, characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, and accompanied by chemical and molecular changes in the brain. Some of these changes persist long after methamphetamine abuse is stopped, and some reverse after sustained periods of abstinence (e.g., 2 years).


What Other Adverse Effects Does Methamphetamine Have on Health?

Taking even small amounts of methamphetamine can result in increased wakefulness, increased physical activity, decreased appetite, increased respiration, rapid heart rate, irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and hyperthermia.

Long-term methamphetamine abuse has many negative consequences, including extreme weight loss, severe dental problems, anxiety, confusion, insomnia, mood disturbances, and violent behavior. Chronic methamphetamine abusers can also display a number of psychotic features, including paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, and delusions (for example, the sensation of insects creeping under the skin).

Also, transmission of HIV and hepatitis B and C can be consequences of methamphetamine abuse. Among abusers who inject the drug, HIV and other infectious diseases can be spread through contaminated needles, syringes, and other injection equipment that is used by more than one person. The intoxicating effects of methamphetamine, regardless of how it is taken, can also alter judgment and inhibition and lead people to engage in unsafe behaviors. Methamphetamine abuse may also worsen the progression of HIV and its consequences. Studies of methamphetamine abusers who are HIV positive indicate that the HIV causes greater neuronal injury and cognitive impairment compared with HIV-positive people who do not use the drug.

Meth destroys you, stay away from that Shit

[LighterOfDewbies]

@ReligiousAtheiest Lol why'd you post that dog? What do you have to gain from teaching people how to make meth? I smell somethin funny. My guess is you told people how to make meth in a way that will blow them to bits, am I right? ;)

[TheUnknownGrower]

fucking sciontologie

[yarbyarbzz]

i am 14 and just recent started highschool, and my frind had just recently started using in highschool >.>

[ReligiousAtheiest]

Thats it. you now have clean and pure crystal meth. read from very bottom

[ReligiousAtheiest]

we are going to do a second pull on the non-polar solvent. add a few

more drops of Hcl and shake it up again. test the ph again. looking for 7.2 again. once you

reach 7.2 again drain your meth/water into your clean visionware bowl (you should have

already scraped out the crystals from the last pull that you all ready evaporated. now

evaporate again. remember that if your not in a hurry, evaporating it with a hair dryer

will increase yeilds. Some chefs even do a third pull.

[ReligiousAtheiest]

then test the ph of the ph of the water layer. you want it to test

at 7.2 or at least close to that. if it doesnt, add a few more drops of Hcl and shake the

hell out of it again and test again. after it is the proper ph, drain the water layer into

your visionware bowl and put it on the burner and boil down. you can finish with a hairdryer

if you want. now go back to your colemans fuel in the seperatory funnel and add a little

more distilled water.

[ReligiousAtheiest]

Put the water layer in a jar and set aside. you can test for meth later. Keep the colemans

fuel/meth in the seperatory funnel. microwave a big glass of new distilled H2O till it is

hot. pour in one third the amount of water (compared to the colemans) and shake well. drain

the water out. repeat this 4 times. you are washing the NP Solvent. now once again, add one

third the amount of water to the sep. funnel and drop in a few drops of Hcl. (Muriatic Acid

Shake for a few minutes

[ReligiousAtheiest]

drop a small drip

onto your litmus paper to test the Ph. (you will be testing the water/meth layer, NOT the

colemans fuel layer) you want the Ph to be 12. (yellow) if it is not a Ph of 12 then add a

little more lye and shake the hell out of it and test again. keep doing this till it test

out at 12. After it test at 12 drop in a tablespoon of table salt, and shake well. Now we

are going to seperate the layers in the funnel. We want to keep the NP Solvent (Colemans),

not the water/lye layer.
