Speed (Amphetamines)How they work
There’s also a stronger, nastier sort called Methamphetamine, which often comes as crystals to be smoked (‘Crystal Meth’, ‘Ice’, ‘Glass’). What the Law saysMost amphetamines are Class B drugs. If you are caught using amphetamines you can get a maximum of 5 years in prison and/or a heavy fine. If you caught supplying other people with the drug then you can get an unlimited fine for supplying and up to 14 years in prison. History factoidHitler is said to have been injecting speed every day at the end of World War 2. The US Army fed speed to its soldiers in Vietnam. Both were losers. Amazing thing about itAmphetamines were discovered by scientists looking for a cure for asthma.

There are over 200 kinds, and they’re all made in a laboratory.
Amphetamines bought on the street are usually less than 10%
amphetamine – the rest is stuff like caffeine, baking soda, sugar
as well as de-worming powder and other yucky stuff. It normally comes
as a white powder, in tablets or in capsules and you can sniff it,
swallow it, smoke it or inject it. Most people just eat it or stir
it into a hot drink. There are different sorts of speed but they
are related to adrenaline, the natural body chemical that gives you energy.
