Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine  (Drug)
Start	1893

Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug first sythesised in 1893. It has been used to treat ADHD and obesity, but is rarely prescribed due to concerns of its addictive potential and neurotoxicity. It is strongly euphoric and is widely used recreationally. The smokable form is termed "ice" or "glass".

History

The drug was used in WW2, especially by bomber pilots, to increase concentration and effectiveness at bombing. Its use caused problems of withdrawal.

Busts

A December 2017 seizure of over 1.2 tons of methamphetamine (>$1,000,000,000 worth) was Australia's largest drug bust.
