Speed: Methylamphetamine

"Speed":  Methylamphetamine


Andy Dittrich English 102


     Since I have started school at U.N.R, I have been expose to a more

variety of drugs than high school.  Speed (Methylamphtamine) is a drug that I

totally despise.  I was in shock because I did not realize how many students

were addicts to this drug.  I have always known what this drug does to people

because I know someone that is addict to speed.  The drug is one of the most

addicting drugs out there and I hope the information I  have researched on can

guy with all this incredible energy, nothing would ever possibly make him upset.

Though when the drug wore off he was so grouchy that no one could stand a single

bit of being around him.  Every little thing you did when he was coming down on

Speed annoyed him and it made me wonder if I was wrong at times.  I remember a

group of us walking through the mall one day and we were teasing him about some

girl he was courting at the time.  He had not been on the drug at the time and

was upset he couldn't find any because he was so addicted.  The next thing you
