Methamphetamine sold as amphetamine
Risk assessment
A sample sold as amphetamine contained hardly any amphetamine, but mostly methamphetamine.
Methamphetamine 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. As methamphetamine reaches the brain more quickly than amphetamine and the stimulating effect is stronger, it causes a stronger high and has a higher addictive potential than amphetamine. In addition, the duration of effect of methamphetamine is longer than that of amphetamine.
A false declaration of this substance can quickly lead to a psychologically overwhelming and risky overdose with harmful side effects. In the case of powders and crystalline samples, dangerous misdeclarations occur time and again - newly acquired substances must be tested in small quantities and analyzed in a drug check before use!

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.
