Methamphetamine is a powerful central nervous system stimulant that affects the brain by increasing the levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure, movement, and attention. It is a synthetic drug that is chemically similar to amphetamine, which is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.
Methamphetamine is often abused for its euphoric effects, but it is highly addictive and can lead to severe health problems, including cardiovascular issues, dental problems ("meth mouth"), and significant mental health disorders. It is usually found as a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder or in the form of crystalline chunks known as "crystal meth." The illicit use of methamphetamine is associated with a range of social and health problems.
