@musclei: I'm in the UK, England; I presume you are too?
I finished university in 2008 and tbh I had to do a few "crammers" whereby I stupidly thought it would help my concentration. Okay, it did help for the first few hours after use, but when your body wants to sleep, and you can't because of the course work, and the fact you've used speed, your concentration wanes. All it does is keep you awake and alert. Your mind, however, is a tired, foggy haze, and results in no work done in ten hours or more. In the USA it is popular on campus, but not so here in the UK.
I thought, like you, that methamphetamine was pretty rare in the UK as well. I thought this right up until last week when I was conselling an ex-heroine addict. He told me that heroin is still a big problem in the Midlands area (Stoke-on-Trent, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire) but many new users are opting for the intense high of the meth instead. He says the availability of it is sporadic but in some parts of Staffordshire you could easily buy it on Christmas Day. Apparently, someone who's been on meth for a while has a distinct "haggard" look to them, and they're often missing some teeth.
It's definately a sad state of affairs if it becomes widespread in the UK. It's a different beast to heroin and opiates in general, because the high can last for days and it is highly addictive. There is also very little in the way of therapies, substitutes, or detoxes for users. It really can and likely will, ruin your life. I know the guys and gals on EF are very sensible in regard to what they do and use, but I urge anyone - if they're ever offered it - to consider their fitness goals. If they want to get trim or enjoy more intense workouts, then employ the knowledge and wisdom of the mods and experience offered on this forum. Like the OP said, it will make you lose fat, but it will also massively increase your risk of hear attack or stroke, plus you'll lose more teeth than you will fat.
I'm sure it will turn out as Adderell, again, like has already been said. Well, let's hope so anyway.
