I'm a little confused as to what Speed really is. Is it amphetamine or meth?
Also I've been reading up on it and it just seems as if it increases alertness to a ridiculous level.
Don't know if anyone has seen the movie Spun, but there the guy snorts a lot of meth and trips out a lot. Does that happen in high doses?
Thanks
 
Well, "Speed" is simply a street term.. In different states/countries/areas it can refer to different things. In my area "speed" can be any form of amphetamines(adderal, dexedrine, etc). Other places it can refer to methamphetamine. UK can refer to amphetamine base..

It is just a simple term referring to the nature of the class of drugs. Stimulants "speed" you up. If you do high enough doses of stimulants, and stay awake for too long, you can experience 'psychosis'. (Paranoia, hallucinations, etc) which I guess would be what you are referring to when the "guy trips out a lot".

These kinds of questions don't belong in Other Drugs. They are extremely basic, and can be found with the likes of the search engine on this site. Also you will have better luck posting this in Basic Drug Discussion. Alternatively, you can find the answers to your question in google, and also erowid.org is a great site.

Please read the BLUA as well as the OD Rules/Guidelines and Posting Standards. All found in my signature. If you have any questions or problems please PM me.

Thanks.
