Black Milk Popular Demand

I remember the glass of milk sweetened with powdered flavored with strawberries. How sweet it was. Today, drug traffickers are adding the sweetness of the strawberry flavor in a potent drug called methamphetamine. Drug traffickers use this concoction to target children through the school as they walked back under the name of the street, "Strawberry Quick".

Methamphetamine is considered a drug under Schedule II of the Controlled Substances controlled by the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services. It is considered a Schedule II drug for the following reasons:

aec The drug has a potential for abuse

aec The drug has a currently accepted use in medical treatment in the United States with severe restrictions

· Abuse of the drug can cause serious physical or psychological dependence

In fact, amphetamine has been around since the 1930s available on prescription in tablet form and was used in the treatment of sleep disorder, narcolepsy, and behavioral syndrome called minimal brain dysfunction, which is today ' hui called Hyperactivity Disorder Attention Deficit (ADHD). During World War II, amphetamine was widely used to keep the men in the battle fought.

In the 1960s the use of amphetamines spread, as well as abuse of drugs. It has been used by truckers to stay awake and full of long distances, weight control, to help athletes perform better and train longer and to treat mild depression. amphetamines intravenously, mainly methamphetamine (crystal methamphetamine hydrochloride) were assaulted by a subculture known as "speed freaks." With the experience, it became clear that the dangers of abuse of these drugs outweighs most of their therapeutic uses.

Increased control measures were initiated in 1965 with amendments to the Federal Food and Drug laws against the black market in amphetamines. Many pharmaceutical amphetamine were withdrawn from the market, including all injections, and doctors prescribed those that remained less freely.

Today, methamphetamine is second only to alcohol and marijuana as a medicine frequently used in many western states and the Midwest. Seizures of dangerous laboratory materials have increased dramatically in some states, five times. In reply, many task forces and federal and local initiatives were developed to target methamphetamine production and use. Legislation and negotiation with the regions of origin for the earliest precursor substances have also reduced the availability of raw materials needed to manufacture the drug.

As a powerful stimulant, methamphetamine, even in small doses, can increase wakefulness and physical activity and decrease appetite. A brief, intense sensation, or peak, is reported by those who smoke or inject methamphetamine. ingestion or snorting produces a strong long-term instead of a point, which might continue for as long as half a day. Both the peak and the high is supposed to result from release of high levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain areas that regulate feelings of pleasure.

Methamphetamine has toxic effects. In animals, a single high dose of the drug has been shown to damage nerve terminals in the dopamine-containing regions.
