What is Methamphetamine?

Methamphetamine, often called meth, is a synthetic stimulant drug. It is available in powder, pill, or crystalline form (“crystal meth”). It affects the central nervous system, boosting energy, focus, and dopamine-driven pleasure signals. Doctors prescribe it in limited cases to treat ADHD or obesity under strict medical supervision. Recreational use carries severe physical, mental, and social risks, making education and awareness essential.
