 '''Methamphetamine''' (also called '''meth''', '''crank''', '''speed''' or '''ice''') is a highly addictive drug, known for its potent stimulant effects on the central nervous system. It is frequently confused with drugs that produce similar effects, including [[amphetamine]], methylphenidate, ephedrine, and [[caffeine]], among others, both legal and illegal.  ''Crystal meth'' and ''ice'' refer to the smokable, free base form which has a [[crystal]]-like structure. Unlike [[Marijuana]], [[Cocaine]], and [[Heroin]], Methamphetamine can be made with simple chemicals available in hardware stores, like [[MDMA]].

 ==Effects==
-Chemically, methamphetamine is very similar to amphetamine but exerts more potent effects. It may be swallowed, snorted, dildo-farted, smoked or injected. Inhaled or injected, onset is rapid, and the effects generally last 4–8 hours. Users of this drug typically experience euphoria, excitement, anorexia, and may become nervous or even psychotic. Sweating, dizziness, insomnia, and restlessness may also occur. In smaller clinical doses, it improves attention, and reduces hyperactivity and impulsiveness in persons with [[Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder]] (ADHD), while anorexia is usedful for weight loss and increased wakefulness is beneficial in narcolepsy. The drug is rarely prescribed due to its abuse potential and neurotoxicity.
