methamphetamines

Illegal speed tablets

Methamphetamines are powerful synthetic stimulant drugs that affect the central nervous system, producing intense euphoria, increased energy, and heightened alertness.

Highly addictive and illegal in most contexts, meth (as it's commonly called) can be smoked, snorted, injected, or swallowed.

Chronic use causes severe physical and psychological damage, including tooth decay ("meth mouth"), skin sores, paranoia, and cognitive impairment.

The town was devastated by methamphetamines in the early 2000s.
