Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine, also known as meth or crystal meth, is a highly addictive stimulant. The document discusses methamphetamine use in the United States. It notes that in 2008, approximately 13 million Americans over 12 had used meth, with 529,000 being regular users. While use has declined somewhat since 2008, meth remains prevalent and damaging. Both short and long-term use can have serious health effects on the body and mind. Treatment focuses on behavioral therapies and incentives to stop use and prevent relapse.
Methamphetamines
Methamphetamines were first created in the 1890s in Germany and later used by Japanese and American militaries to keep pilots awake. In the postwar era, meth became popular as a diet aid and antidepressant before being made illegal in the 1970s. Mexican drug cartels then began trafficking meth into the US through the Southwest, producing it in makeshift labs. Meth is addictive and can be smoked, snorted, or injected, producing feelings of euphoria and energy but also physical and mental health risks. Long-term meth use often damages relationships and health.
Methamphetamine drug
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive psychostimulant that affects the central nervous system. It causes the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and activates the cardiovascular and nervous systems. While it is prescribed to treat conditions like ADHD and obesity in limited cases under the brand name Desoxyn, methamphetamine is more commonly abused as an illegal street drug known as "ice" or "crystal" that produces feelings of euphoria. Long term meth abuse is associated with severe health risks and addiction.
Why do people abuse narcotics
Narcotics produce euphoria and sedation in the central nervous system, which leads to their abuse. Abusers describe a "rush" feeling from injected heroin. Regular narcotic use during pregnancy can cause physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms in newborns. Narcotic abuse carries health risks like overdose and disease from unsafe drug use practices. Tolerance to narcotics develops with continued use, requiring larger doses to achieve the same effects.
Amphetamine and ecstasy
This document summarizes information about amphetamines and ecstasy (MDMA). For amphetamines, it discusses their history of use from the 1800s to today, types including methamphetamine, mechanisms of action, short and long term effects, withdrawal symptoms, overdose signs and symptoms, and treatment options. For ecstasy, it describes what MDMA is, how it affects the brain by increasing certain chemicals, debates about its addictiveness, and potential past and current therapeutic uses being studied. Comparisons are made between methamphetamine and MDMA.

This document provides an overview of methamphetamine (meth) including its history, production, effects on health, and status as a public health issue. It was originally developed in the late 1800s but gained popularity as an alternative to ephedrine during WWII when it was given to soldiers to increase alertness. Today it is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant that can be smoked, injected, or swallowed. Long term use leads to many health issues and it is considered a major public health concern globally due to its widespread abuse and association with organized crime.

Opiates are substances derived from the opium plant or similar synthetics that are used medicinally as painkillers but also have high potential for abuse. While opiates are useful for medical purposes like pain relief after surgery, recreational use and addiction can lead to dependence and negative health effects. Long-term opiate abuse increases risks of overdose, disease transmission from shared needles, and weakening of the immune system. Though opiates have a long history of medical usage, problems arose when their potency increased without understanding of dangers, leading to widespread abuse and addiction issues today.

The Effects Of Methamphetamine On The Brain
Methamphetamine affects neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and serotonin by blocking their reabsorption and increasing their release, causing dangerous imbalances in the brain. It is highly addictive due to inducing feelings of euphoria by raising dopamine levels, and subsequent crashes when levels fall. Long-term use kills neurotransmitter cells, permanently altering emotions and reward processing and increasing risks of mental health issues like depression.

There is a difference between drugs and medicines. A drug refers to any substance that alters the body or mind when consumed, and can be used for medical, spiritual or recreational purposes. Medicine specifically refers to treatments used to cure or prevent illness and disease. While all medicines are drugs, not all drugs are medicines. A drug is the raw ingredient, while medicine involves manufacturing drugs into a finished product for treating or preventing disease. Common drugs include alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and synthetic drugs, while common medicines fall into categories like antibiotics, pain relievers, and over-the-counter analgesics.
Opium poppy
Opium and its derivatives like morphine and heroin are highly addictive drugs derived from the opium poppy plant. Opium has been used for thousands of years as a pain reliever and recreational drug.
