ARTICLES RELATED TO Methamphetamine - Current controversy | | | |  Methamphetamine - Current controversy: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - ProductionMethamphetamine is structurally similar to methcathinone, amphetamine, and other stimulants, and it may be produced from ephedrine or pseudoephedrine by chemical reduction. Most of the necessary chemicals are readily available in household products or over-the counter medicines. This makes methamphetamine appear unusually easy to make, unlike cannabis and cocaine, which are both harvested directly from plants.
Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and ephedrine hydrochloride are commonly available decongestant drugs without strong euphoric ef ...

| | | | Methamphetamine - Current controversy: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - Physical and chemical properties of Methamphetamine Methamphetamine is an alkaloid similar in structure to amphetamine and MDMA (Ecstasy). Compared to most illegal drugs, methamphetamine is a simple molecule with a low molecular weight.
Unlike freebase cocaine ("crack"), which is a waxy, smokeable form of cocaine, freebase methamphetamine is an oily liquid that has no use except in the production of street methamphetamine. Before the manufacturer (or "cook") can sell his drug, he must convert the oil to methamphetamine hydrochloride. Usually this is done via an acid/base extracti ...

| | | | Methamphetamine - Current controversy: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - Addiction Methamphetamine is an addictive drug. While withdrawal symptoms are less pronounced than those of alcohol or opiates (such as heroin), they are nonetheless physiological in nature and could include seizures, narcolepsy, and stroke. Furthermore, the mental and social consequences of quitting can be severe and extremely difficult for the addict. As with all addictions, relapse is common.

| | | | Methamphetamine - Current controversy: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - Methods of use Methamphetamine can be swallowed, snorted, smoked, dissolved in water and injected, or inserted anally (with or without dissolution in water). As with all addictive drugs, the potential for addiction is greater when it is delivered by methods that cause the concentration in the blood to rise quickly, principally because the effects desired by the user are felt more quickly and with a higher intensity than through a moderated delivery mechanism. In fact, studies have shown that the subjective pleasure of drug use (the reinforcing component of ...

| | | | Methamphetamine - Current controversy: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - Legality Methamphetamine is classified as a Schedule II substance by the DEA in the United States. Internationally, methamphetamine is a Schedule II drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances [6]. While there is technically no difference between the laws regarding methamphetamine and other controlled stimulants, most medical professionals are averse to prescribing it due to its status in society. Further, there is some anecdotal evidence that the DEA audits such prescriptions on ...

| | | | Methamphetamine - Current controversy: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - History Methamphetamine was first synthesized in 1919 in Japan by the chemist A. Ogata. The method of synthesis was reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine. Methamphetamine is closely related to amphetamine, which was first synthesized in the year 1887 by L. Edeleano, a German chemist. Over time, the chemical's use, distribution, and place in society changed from insignificant, to controversially beneficial, to infamous.
Later use included its distribution by the Allies and the Axis to troops during World War II under the name ...

| | | | Methamphetamine - Current controversy: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - Effects Methamphetamine is a potent central nervous system stimulant that affects the brain by acting on the mechanisms responsible for regulating a class of neurotransmitters known as the biogenic amines or monoamine neurotransmitters. This broad class of neurotransmitters is generally responsible for regulating heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, appetite, attention, mood and responses associated with alertness or alarm conditions. Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, it is generally believed that methamphetamine causes the ...
