AMPHETAMINE (AMP)
Amphetamines are psychostimulant drugs, which means they speed up the messages traveling between the brain and the body.
WHAT Is it?
Amphetamine (contracted from alpha-methylphenethylamine) is a strong central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity.
Prescription amphetamines go by the names Adderall, Dynavel, Evekeo, Dexedrine (Dextroamphetamine).
how is it ingested?
They can be used in different ways, depending on the type of substance it is. They can be swallowed, dabbed onto the gums, inhaled through the nose (snorted), injected into a vein (shooting up), and smoked.
HOW IS IT HARMFUL?
When amphetamines are used at higher doses and through routes that are not prescribed by a doctor, they can have severe adverse effects. Dopamine levels in the brain can rise quickly, and to a great extent.
Overuse and repeated abuse can lead to:
psychosis and delusions,
feelings of paranoia and hostility,
cardiovascular problems, including stroke,
reduction in cognitive ability,
breakdown of muscle and malnutrition.
Withdrawal symptoms include depression and sleep disturbances.

The appearance of amphetamines varies from a powder and tablet form, to crystals, liquids and capsules. Amphetamine powder can range in color from white through to brown, sometimes it may have traces of grey or pink. It has a strong smell and bitter taste. Amphetamine capsules and tablets vary considerably in size and color.
what are its effects?
Amphetamines function as stimulant drugs, accelerating communication between the brain and body. This heightened connectivity leads to increased alertness and physical activity. Some individuals employ amphetamines to combat fatigue during work or to aid in studying for exams.
Moreover, people utilize them to enhance sports performance, increase libido, promote wakefulness, improve cognitive control, foster sociability, and induce euphoria.
