Methamphetamine has been prescribed by doctors,in some cases, as a last resort medication to treat ADHD. It has also been approved to treat narcolepsy and obesity. Meth is a white, odorless powder that dissolves easily in water or alcohol. Production of the drug begins with common chemicals, including ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. 
Crystal Meth can be taken by ingesting, snorted, injected, smoked, absorbed through gums, or inserted through the anus.
