Speed can be many colours, in pills or power to snort or inject.
No, you're scum. And Meth is equally as scummy as Amphetamines...

And one user said it best... although it's obvious...

Methamphetamine in powder form is a hygroscopic, hydrochloride salt structure of the amphetamines. Methamphetamine is the active chemical in the drug Desoxyn, which is used to treat ADD and ADHD.

Speed is what its name implies, it speeds things up. It's just a stimulant, a strong one at that. Fight or flight adrenaline, yadda yadda yadda.

Someone might wanna go ahead and correct some of those amphetamine names, I typed them by hand so I may have incorrectly spelled a few.
Speed is a stimulant that gives you the fight or flight response.

There... to clear up whatever the thread starter was asking... you have no way of knowing exactly what you're friend is talking about because he might just be an idiot who knows not what he is even fucking doing. Ask him what it is EXACTLY and you might find your anwser... is it Meth or is it just Amphetamines? If it's crystally... it's "crystal meth". If it's a powder... it's probably not... and if it's in a pill or something... then ask and ask again until you find out.
