The meth is on the left, the amp in the middle, and the hetamine on the right.

Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug which causes your car to end up on blocks and your trailer to get really messy. Also referred to as "crank", "crystal meth", or "speed", its users often embark on binges lasting as long as two or three weeks, with no sleep. The crash is very painful, although a little Valium might help[1]. It is a highly addictive and very damaging drug.

Remember, dude: "speed kills".

Strangely enough, Conservapedia's article on methamphetamine contained, for several months, a carefully described procedure for making your own batch.

The recipe was included when the article was created on 2 April, 2007, and remained in place despite the article being edited subsequently by respected editors. It was only after the details were discussed here at RationalWiki, that the controversial content was removed on 14 January, 2008.

Caution: these homskollars are not too bright when it comes to "science", so be very careful if you are foolish enough to try cooking this at home!
