Question by Yea_im_crazy: What exactly is the drug speed?
What exactly is speed?
Ive heard people say its methamphetamine and others say its another form of amphetamine. I’m confused here.
Can anyone help me out?

Ps. I don’t mess with hard drugs so don’t bother with the warnings an all that. Im just curious.

methamphetamine refers to the illegal drug speed while an amphetamine can refer to some drugs that can be used by prescription or for medical reasons. They are they same type of drug (uppers). The meth is just a lot stronger. But generally speaking, they are the same thing.
