It’s Time to Play Name That Drug!


For those of you who don’t know how this works, I will name facts, symptoms, and other names for the drug. The only thing you do is see if you can name it before we get to the end.  If you haven’t figured it out by the end, I will tell you the drug.

Facts: It is an extremely strong stimulant. It is created with toxic, caustic chemicals that have their own damaging effects on the body and mind of the user. It very often creates addiction in just a few uses as a result of the strong cravings that can follow use. It is a very destructive drug that changes a person's personality and can create severe health problems. A person experiencing the effects of the drug should receive effective help the first moment possible.

Symptoms: Loss of appetite, major weight loss, the body roughens and has many pocked sores. The user becomes moody and irritable. A user may go without sleep for many days and sleep for many days after the high has worn off.

Other Names: chalk, ice, crystal, crank, fire, glass, go fast, and speed.

Yes, you can be prescribed this drug! Do you have any guesses yet? It can be given to your kids as an ADHD, or ADD drug to control their focus patterns, but long term it can have very damaging effects. The drug found on the street is in the same family of methamphetamines that are prescribed by doctors. It is not as safe as a doctor might have you believe. It can be very damaging, if not taken correctly.  Even if not concentrated, it is enough to do damage.  If you still haven’t figured it out, this drug goes by the shortened name of meth.
