Methamphetamine Addiction
Methamphetamine is a drug that has become very common in the US, and it causes
adverse effects on the user since the substance is highly addictive. Methamphetamine is also
known as meth, and it is a powder consisting of crystals that are smoked, ingested, or injected.
The drug is also mixed with other substances such as marijuana, and it is common to find drug

(Meth Addiction Treatment, 2011). This procedure is hazardous for a person who has no
foundation in chemistry since it produces phosphine gas that is toxic when inhaled. The Birch
process is more common in USA and Mexico, and it involves the reaction between lithium,
ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, and liquid ammonia. It is also a dangerous proce...
