crystal meth
Illicit amphetamine drug
Crystal meth is methamphetamine in its crystalline form—a powerful, highly addictive stimulant typically smoked or injected.
The crystals resemble shards of ice or glass.
Crystal meth produces intense euphoria followed by a severe crash, and long-term use causes physical deterioration, paranoia, and psychosis: The town was ravaged by crystal meth.
