Methamphetamine is also known as "speed"
or "crystal" when it is swallowed or
sniffed; as "crank" when it is injected;
and as "ice" or "glass" when
it is smoked.
Ice is clear chunky
crystal form of meth that resembles "ice."
YABA: Thai for
"crazy medicine," Yaba, a methamphetamine
tablet, has been appearing in the United States.
Yaba tablets are sometimes flavored (grape, orange,
and vanilla): tasting like candy, the tablets
are obviously marketed to a young audience, particularly
at rave’s or parties where Ecstasy (a similar
looking drug) has been well established. The tablets
are commonly reddish-orange or green, and fit
inside the end of a drinking straw. They have
a variety of logos, with “WY” the
most common. Methamphetamine pills are normally
ingested orally, although they can be crushed
into powder and administered.
All forms of methamphetamine are extremely dangerous
and induce long-lasting, debilitating effects.
