Crystal Meth (methamphetamine) is a derivative of amphetamine, a powerful stimulant that affects the central nervous system. Methamphetamine use increases energy and alertness and decreases appetite. Meth can be smoked, snorted, orally ingested, and injected. The effects lasts between 6-15 hours, depending upon the quality. It is typically a white powder that easily dissolves in water, but is also found in the form of chunky crystals, or ice (color varies depending upon how it is made). A third form of the drug is small, brightly colored tablets, often called by their Thai name, yaba.
