What's? the difference?
I know that the D- & L- are isomers (they represent different direction the Methyl- group points from the phenyl group)
But what's the difference in effect? Some people have told me that one is better than the other, but people condradict which is which..... I know old school "biker speed" was made from P2P (phenyl-2-propanone) and is racemic (mixture of both), and is perferred by some, but when you get it nowadays it's normally some altered decongestant which means it's either D or L... which is it? and which is better?
 
I may be wrong but from my understanding D-methamphetamine is the one that gets you high.
 
D-meth is what gets you high, but it has been theorized that a combo of D and L meth (racemic), while it might be less potent, would produce a smoother high. This would be comparable to how some people prefer adderall to dexedrine (adderall being a mix of D and L amphetamine and dexedrine being just D amphetamine). So...the D/L comno meth might be less jittery and have a smoother comedown. On its own, though, L meth does absolutely nothing and has zero recreational value. It is only when combined with D meth that it might have this synergistic effect.

Virtually all meth that is sold in the US is D-meth, primarily because virtually all meth is made from either pseudoephedrine or ephedrine using the I/RP reduction or Li/NH3 reduction. BOTH of these reductions, whether they start with ephedrine OR psuedo, will produce D-meth.
 
Thank you negro kitty..... you have solved my dilemma of the day (assuming your expert testimony is accurate :) )
 
While I haven't ever had the pleausure of sampling racemic meth, I have tried both pure D and L meth so my testimony regarding those is definitely correct. :)
 
l-methamphetamine is the ingredient in vicks inhalers (or l-desoxyephedrine). I think that it is labled now as l-metamfetamine. Don't know why. Anyway, obviously l-meth has uses only as a decongestant.
 
What if you had some street d-amp and then used he inhaler while on it?? I wonder if the dosage in the inhaler would be enough though, but it's worth a shot.
