“Simply stated, methamphetamines make you feel good—really good. However, that feeling can often be followed by severe manic-depression, paranoid delusions of hypergrandiosity, schizophrenic dissociative behavior, and at its worst, a complete breakdown of logical perception. Methamphetamine can also cause a rise in the user’s blood pressure, an increased heart rate, and even a heart attack. And this is not to mention that methamphetamine is also highly addictive. Methamphetamine was first synthesized by a Japanese scientist in 1919 and used by the Germans as well as the British in World War II. During the 1920s it was widely considered a wonder drug and was used to treat everything from asthma to nasal congestion. While amphetamines had been first approved to be sold in tablet form by the American Medical Association in 1937, methamphetamine had been first marketed over the counter as an inhaler known as Benzedrine by the drug manufacturer Smith, Kline, and French beginning in 1932.”
