Ice also known as crystal meth, is a crystalline form of the drug methamphetamine. Other names include meth, shabu, tina and glass.Methamphetamine is a stimulant drug that comes in three main forms: 1.Ice 2.Base 3.Speed . The difference between ice, base and speed is that ice is the most pure form, followed by base, then speed. Even though the crystalline appearance of ice makes it look pure, ice can still be cut with other chemicals. The high purity of ice can mean that the side-effects are worse than for speed and base, such as more agitation, worse comedowns, and higher likelihood of addiction. |

Drugs can appear initially to have positive effects on your mood, energy and confidence. However, they can also have negative impacts on your mental and physical health, your relationships, and your life in general. When ice is used, the receptors in the brain are flooded with monoamines, producing an adrenaline like effect, which makes the heart beat faster and pupils dilate. It can take 1-2 days for the drug to completely leave the body. As more is taken, these receptors can be destroyed and prolonged ice use can lead to a point when the user no longer feels normal without using ice. Users often experience a comedown phase or crash, when the drug starts to wear off. These feelings can last a few days and symptoms can include: Feeling down or depressed. Exhaustion. Anxiety. Irritability. Increased need for sleep. Decreased appetite. |
