If you freebase your meth out of a glass pipe, you can tell meth is cut if it chokes you out when you inhale it; meth is very smooth to smoke, it should feel a bit like air going down your throat. To fix this problem, melt it down as normal would as if you were going to smoke it. Let it "crack-back" (solidify in the bottom of the pipe) and heat it again, but instead, blow through the pipe (always blow out your first hit) instead of inhaling it and place your lighter over the hole in the globe and continue to blow if it leaves a white residue on your lighter, pulling back your lighter and wiping the residue off every few seconds to make sure it's still leaving residue so you don't waste your dope!

Balzac worked by night with the aid of litres and litres of black coffee. And Jean-Paul Sartre worked with the aid of tons of amphetamine.

Heinrich Boell, who in 1972 was the first German to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature after the war was a member of the Nazi German army. He was heavily addicted to Pervatin, more commonly known as speed. The Nazi German army used stimulants heavily to give a "superhuman" edge to their soldiers. It cut down on food consumption and raised aggression massively. They called it the wonderdrug.

The amount of caffeine in coffee is highly dependent on how dark the roast is and how it is brewed, which you probably knew, but is quite the opposite of what most people think. The darker the roast is, the less caffeine it has in it. Caffeine is taken out of the coffee beans during the roasting process, so you dad's mild breakfast blend is actually more caffeinated than the espresso you drink in Starbucks. The one difference is that the way espresso is brewed-hot water being pushed through the finely ground beans, makes it a potent 1 oz. shot of 75mg of caffeine, just 5mg shy of your average cup of coffee.

The less time you put your tea bag in boiling water, the more the water is charged with theine (theine is the same as caffeine).

In 2004 Xenova developed a vaccine for cocaine use called TA-CD which is a mix of norcocain and inactivated cholera toxin. It prevents cocaine from crossing the blood-brain barrier and negates only the physical aspects of the drug, not the psychological urge to use. At the time controversial motions were put forward to vaccinate all US teenagers in their early teens.

Dr. Leo Zeff was a psychologist and psychotherapist who popularized the use of MDMA (ecstacy) in psychotherapy in the 1970's. Zeff gave it the nickname "Adam" because he believed it returned one to a state of primordial innocence. Alexander Shulgin ,the founder of many phenethylamines, was the one who introduced Zeff to MDMA.
Today, MDMA is still being tested to see of it's theraputic effects, including treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

According to Paul Gootenburg* trace amounts of cocaine can be found on four out of
every five dollar bills in circulation.

Ritalin when crushed or insufflated has effects similar to those of cocaine. In fact, when it was injected via an IV to cocaine addicts, they found the difference between the 2 drugs effects to be nearly indistinguishable (ritalin and cocaine).

The use of Amphetamines was only banned in Major league Football in the US in 2006 and is still common place amongst the military whilst in combat situiations especailly for helicopter pilolts and their crew memebers on extended missions.

Nootropics of the racetam class (eg. piracetam, aniracetam) can strongly potentiate stims, similar to having tolerance lowered. The exact mechanism of action of the drugs is still not understood, however.

Methamphetamine tablets branded as Pervitin were liberally distributed to Hitler's troops while he was in power.
He saw amphetamines as "power drugs" that reduce fatigue, heighten aggression, and diminish human warmth and empathy.
Though, it did lead to many of Hitler's troops becoming addicted... lol...
There is even speculations Hitler received daily Methamphetamine injections to combat his Parkinson's and other health problems

During WW2 in nazi germany, by testing on people in concentration camps, an ideal mixture for marching soldiers, called 'D-IX', was formulated. This consisted of 5mg oxycodone, 5mg cocaine and 3mg metamphetamine. Those who it was being tested on could supposedly march for 55 miles with a 20kg pack before collapsing.

Pretty much any drug that ends in "ine", particularly stimulants, pretty much is a diuretic (methamphetamine). Caffeine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, etcetera. these are all drugs which are or were used in OTC weight loss products due to their diuretic properties. There are different types of diuretic action depending on the drug, but the result is always the same (frequent urination).

During the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. Govt. experimented with drugs on its own citizens during Project MKULTRA (kind of sounds a bit delicious). They mostly experimented with LSD but another avenue they played with was using barbituates and amphetamines together. They would inject an individual with barbituates until the subject began to fall asleep at which point they would inject them with amphetamines. This would result in the subjects babbling incoherently but sometimes the scientists were able to ask the subjects questions and get useful information from them.
While most CIA records about the experiments were destroyed, it is thought that there were several deaths resulting from their experiments. The project was terminated in the late '60s when lawsuits were made against the CIA due to concerns about the govt. not giving the test subjects proper consent about the experiments.
