"Ice" is a slang term for a very pure, smokeable form of methamphetamine.
It is an extremely
addictive stimulant. Its effects are similar to those of cocaine but longer-lasting. "Ice" can cause erratic, violent behavior among its users. The nickname "ice" is derived from its translucent rock- like appearance. The "ice" high can last anywhere from 2 to 24 hours depend on how much is used. After taking " ICE" users (especially those being) experience a crash or depression that can last as long as 3 days.

"Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death."Hunter S. ThompsonAmphetamine / MethamphetamineIn the 1890's the first chemical stimulant was produced. In 1919 phenyl isopropyl methyline, or methamphetamine, was created by Japanese chemist A. Ogata. During World War II, the manufacturing and use of the stimulant amphetamine came of age. Included in U.S. Army survival kits, amphetamines were widely distributed by all armies to their soldiers as a remedy for fatigue. Even the civilian work force was given amphetamines to increase production and motivation among workers.Amphetamines are prescribed for a variety of medicinal applications, such as narcolepsy, hyperkenis, and weight control.Methamphetamine and other amphet- amines are virtually indistinguishable from one another in effect and composition. They are so similar on the molecular level that only a laboratory can differentiate between the two. Amphetamines can be inhaled, smoked, and injected by the abuser.The 1990's has seen an explosion of methamphetamine use in the Kansas City area. Unlike cocaine and heroin, methamphetamine can be readily be manufactured in clandestine laboratories in the United States. The clandestine manufacturing process incorporates a large variety of hazardous and volatile chemicals. These chemicals create a major health and environmental problem as they are usually discarded illegally by the "cooks" who manufacture the amphetamine. These chemicals are dumped into old wells, waterways, ponds, lakes, public sewer systems, and onto the ground.Methamphetamine labs are frequently located in public locations such as residences, hotels, motels, and storage facilities. The proximity of these clandestine laboratories to this areas makes the general population extremely vulnerable to the hazardous conditions associated with their operation.

The amphetamines are potent psychomotor stimulants. Their use causes a release of the excitatory neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) from storage vesicles in the CNS. Amphetamines induce feelings of power, strength, self-assertion and enhanced motivation. The release of dopamine typically induces a sense of euphoria which may last several hours: unlike cocaine, amphetamine is not readily broken down by the body. There follows intense mental depression and fatigue. Amphetamine depletes the neuronal stores of dopamine in the mesolimbic pleasure centres.More than any other illegal drug, speed is associated with violence and anti-social behavior."Ice" is recrystalised methamphetamine
hydrochloride. Methamphetamine is a potent stimulant first synthesized in Japan in 1919.Ice generally takes the form of clear crystallised chunks. It will dissolve in water and breaks down to smaller particles.Ice induces a profound sense of euphoria in the user by blocking the reuptake, and stimulating the release, of dopamine and noradrenaline in the central nervous system. It is a "power drug" whose use is typically followed by prolonged depression and fatigue. In contrast to base cocaine, smoking meth will extend its effects for up to 24 hrs per ingestion. Smoked in a base form, meth is unappetisingly known on the street as SNOT. It can only be smoked. SNOT gets its name on account of its resemblance to the natural product of the same name. It is very addictive.The effects of using methamphetamine may include:extreme elation
wakefulness
alertness
enhanced self-confidence
aggression
talkativeness
loss of appetite
increased intiative
increased physical activity
Withdrawal symptoms may include:
severe craving
deep depression
fatigue
inertia
paranoia
psychosis
Smokable methamphetamine is similar to smokable cocaine, crack. They may both briefly be delightful. But they offer only a toxic and delusive short-cut to the biological nirvana awaiting our descendants.
