"What exactly is Meth?"

Meth is short for methamphetamine, and is not new.

It is a very powerful and long lasting stimulant with a high similar to cocaine, but lasting much longer.

In the 60's we all knew that "Speed Kills" and abuse of this stuff was not too widespread except on the West Coast.

Don't know why it has gotten so popular recently. Really good precursors were available back then which made the production of methamphetamine easier and cleaner, but there wasn't much demand for it.

It's one damn destructive drug. I've seen the results locally, and they are not pretty.

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge about this drug. I must be living in a cocoon because, I thought this was a new drug. Its' rather scary that people feel they need this to live. Just don't understand why people do it in the first place. Live is just darn to short to piddle it away doing drugs.

That may be because less potent pharmaceutical amphetamines were pretty readily available. IIRC, the '60's were the heyday of diet pills.

We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown l.a. About a-midnight hour And it almost b-b-blew my mind I got caught in a coloured shower All those lights were t-t-twinkling on sunset I saw a sign in the sky It said, "t-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip," I couldn't keep up up if I tried Ah, we stepped down to reality company To get some instant sleep And the driver turned, I said, "welcome back" He smiled and he said, "beep beep" What goes on ? chick-a-chick What goes on ? I really wanna know What goes on all around me What goes on ? I really wanna know When in should come-a my dream woman She got sequins in her hair Like she stepped out off of a fellini film She sat in a white straw chair But I thought i'd take a second look Just to see what I could see And my scene had popped out like a bubble does There was nobody there but me I said, "girl, you drank a lot of drink-me But you ain't in a wonderland You know I might-a be there to greet you, child When your trippin' ship touches sand." What goes on ? chick-a-chick What goes on ? I really wanna know What goes on ? chick-a-chick What goes on ? I really wanna know A silver goblet of wine is-a to be Held in a bejewelled glove And her knights they toast the tournament The falcons they fly above And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight But the jester she cries alone Because merlin he spoke of an instant spell To make the devil's white knights moan And-a all in all, the seagull said &Quot;as I look to where I've been The whole wide human race Has a-taken far too much methedrine" What goes on ? chick-a-chick What goes on ? I really wanna know What goes on ? so near What goes on ? I really wanna know Yeah well, come on We sat in a velvet jewel case With sparkles everywhere And julian he sat on a diamond ring And-a talked of the days gone by We spoke of a common kaleidoscope And the pros and the cons of zen And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake He really did have a yen Bobby dylan he sat "the mad hatter" A broken hour glass in his hand And-a joannie sat in a white lace Looking cool with a black lace fan What goes on ? chick-a-chick What goes on ? I really wanna know What goes on ? yes please tell me What goes on ? I really wanna know
