Does anyone know if illicitly synthesized amphetamine is present anyhwhere in the United States? It appears that methamphetamine is the only street speed available here because it is easier to synthesize, more potent, longer lasting, etc.

However, from these boards I have learned that amphetamine, not meth is more prevelant in Europe. I'm sure this is all because pharmaceutical amphetamines are much more widely available in the U.S. than in most of Europe, but I'm not entirely sure.

So just out of curiosity, has anyone ever encountered street amphetamine? Also, if not then was it available in the U.S. at some point in the past?
Thanks in advance-pld
 
From my understanding, regular old speed (amphetamine) used to be really big back like 20-30 years ago, but now that meth has become so abundant that is almost always what you're gonna find. People still have it once in a blue moon, I've heard if it being around, but I wouldn't ever say it's really present or available, and I've never seen it with my own eyes. Unless you're using RX amps (which is not the illicitly synthed street meth you're referring to), it's not really common. Of course all drugs exist everywhere to some extent, it's not completely gone from the face of the planet.

yes it used to be more widely available as a street drug

but its just so common as an rx drug

n those who manufacture are gonna go after the more potent more profitable chrmical
 
in the 60's there was benzedrine and dexedrine all in the streets and truckstops .

Yes, I'm aware of that but those are pharmaceuticals and I was referring to illicitly synthesized amphetamine. (unless you mean illicitly synthed racemic and d-amp powder and if that's the case I'd definitely like to hear more) Back in the 60's, was street speed (as in clandestinely produced powder, not pills) mainly meth or did regular amp also exist on the scene? THAT is what I'm trying to figure out.
 
since P2P was banned.. you don't much street amp anymore. And since pseudo makes meth, which back then was easier to get and meth is stronger and more euphoric than amp. The switch happened
 
^I wasn't aware that P2P was used in the production of amp, but now that I do that makes alot of sense. But would you happen to know, even before P2P was banned, which was more common: meth or amp?
 
Probably some college chem students take the amps outta pills

P2P was used to sythesise ampehtamine and also racemic d,l methamphetamine until it was banned in 79 or 80 or around that time..the resulting use of pseudoephedrine produces a purer non racemic for of meth aka d,methamphetamine,which is much better and is what you want,as l,meth is not a cns stimulant as far as any euroria ,speedy feelings etc.. just a mild raise in blood pressure and all that,basicly l,meth is shit as far a reacreational use and the d,meth is the shit you want ,all killer and no filler compared to d,l meth produced via P2p ..
 
Finding someone willing to sell their scripted pills isn't hard, but there isn't really street amp besides meth otherwise.
 
Very interesting thread I were gonna ask this exact question but forgot. But it is interesting that two different types of amphetamine dominating different countries.

I live in Sweden and we have euro streep amphetamine, a lot of it comes from Poland.My city is notorious for its speed use(abuse).
There has been an increase in Meth on the streets for the past few years, I can't say for sure but I kind of prefer the old school street amphetamine over Meth.

I haven't tried crystal meth though, but shooting a .2 - .3g of potent street speed is such a orgasmic event I can't begin to tell you!

There are quite a lot of people here who prefer street speed over Meth - I don't know if this is due to bad meth or do people from other countries feel the same way?
 
Where I live (East Europe) we also mostly get street speed and rarely meth.

I suppose meth is regarded as more of a "hard drug" as its effects are longer-lasting and stronger, and doing it would be somehow worse than "regular" speed.
 
meth exists in EU.. it's that it is easier to make amp from countries where it's not as "controlled" like Poland (where I hear a lot of the amp comes from)
 
and the other reason is, like psilocybonaut said above, the US has like an unlimited supply of pharmaceutical amphetamine so there's no market for illicit sources, though small scale operations do exist..

meth is more profitable
