Methamphetamine sold as amphetamine

Risk assessment
A sample sold as amphetamine hardly contained any amphetamine, but methamphetamine with several impurities.
Methampetamine belongs to the phenylethylamine group of substances and has a strong stimulating effect (psychostimulant). It increases the mental and physical drive in the human body. Since methamphetamine reaches the brain more quickly than amphetamine and the stimulating effect is stronger, it causes a stronger high and has a higher addiction potential than amphetamine. In addition, the duration of action of methamphetamine is longer than that of amphetamine.
The caffeine and amphetamine have hardly any influence on the effect due to the small proportion. Phenethylamine has a psychoactive effect only in high doses. Little is known about interactions with methamphetamine.
Dangerous false declarations also occur time and again with powders and crystalline samples. Therefore, powders and crystalline samples must be tested before consumption!

Analysis
Have your substances tested in a Drug Checking
Testing
If you do not have the possibility to have substances analysed, always test a small amount to avoid overdoses.
Wait and see
Wait 2 hours after oral intake, as there are always powders / crystals in circulation with unexpected active ingredients, which can have a later onset of action.
Utensils
Always use your own sniffing utensils when applying powders nasally (sniffing) to avoid infecting yourself or others with diseases.
