Résumé : | Methamphetamine, a dangerous stimulant similar to cocaine, is easily abused and is a growing problem in the United States. Used in a variety of ways, methamphetamine has devastating short- and long-term effects, such as convulsions, anxiety, violent behavior, insomnia, confusion, hallucinations, paranoia, delusions, mood disturbances and cognitive impairments. Methamphetamine labs are dangerous, especially for children, because they can explode and because the chemicals linger for years. Along with the issues of prevention and treatment of methamphetamine, state legislators are also dealing with the criminal justice issues surrounding the production of methamphetamine. Methamphetamine precursors, the main ingredients in cooking methamphetamine, are pseudoephedrine (or ephedrine or phenylpropanolamine) and anhydrous ammonia. Pseudoephedrine is a drug commonly found in over-the-counter cold medicines. Anhydrous ammonia is a liquid fertilizer stored in large tanks on farms. (Extract of the publication) |
