Methamphetamine/Ice
Methamphetamine which has many different names including; ice, crystal, crank, etc. Ice probably being one of the more common slang terms for the drug. For the purposes of simplicity we will use Ice even though it is sometimes used as the most purified type of methamphetamine.
Ice – How is it Abused?
Ice has many routes of entrance into the body, basically anyway it can be absorbed it will have an effect on an individual to varying degrees, due to the speed of release into the body primarily it is be smoked, snorted or injected. It can also be taken orally. Smoking or injecting Ice delivers the drug quickly to the brain with an immediate effect. Reported feelings from Ice users are intense euphoria, however the effects of the drug are usually short term and require regular repeated doses which tend to increase to obtain the same effect.
What Does Ice do to the Brain?
When Ice is used it drastically increases the level of dopamine in the brain,
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter. It is a chemical messenger that helps in the transmission of signals in the brain and other vital areas. Dopamine is found in humans as well as animals, including both vertebrates and invertebrates.
Dopamine is involved in the brains pleasure and reward mechanism. Ice’s ability to speed up the release of dopamine, specifically in the brains reward and pleasure regions can produce the “rush” that many ice users experience. Unfortunately repeated use and abuse of ice can easily result in addiction, or a “need” to seek more of the drug.
Negative Effects of Ice Addiction and Abuse
The brain is an extremely complex organ in our body that has it’s own chemical balances and ways of regulating just about everything from our physical to emotional well being, when adding a strong chemical like Ice repetitively it isn’t surprising that something is going to go wrong. Think of taking a computer board that works on tiny amounts of electricity and then putting bare wires from a wall outlet on it, something is going to fry!
Long-term effects may include:
- Addiction
- Psychosis, including: paranoia hallucinations repetitive motor activity
- Changes in brain structure and function
- Deficits in thinking and motor skills
- Increased distractibility
- Memory loss
- Aggressive or violent behavior
- Mood disturbances
- Severe dental problems
- Weight loss
How is Ice Made?
Ice in the USA is mostly made in domestically and in Mexico then trafficked into the USA over the boarder, we regularly hear about major drug busts of cartels for trafficking hundreds of pounds of Ice. Not too many years ago the majority of the ice consumed in the USA was made in small Mom & Pop style micro labs that could make a few ounces of ice, the new super labs in Mexico and easily produce 10 pounds a day and the product is considerably stronger.
The name Super Lab however has nothing to do with what we think of as laboratory standards that the large pharmaceutical companies adhere to. There are no government over sites and controls for production, quality, safety or hygiene. Most of us have seen the popular TV show Breaking Bad, it’s not very far from the truth on how Ice is produced, in labs in RV’s, in basements and in properly set up laboratories.
In Feb 2023 the the Mexican Army raided a Super Lab in Culiacán and siezed 100KG of Meth in what is considered the largest lab in Mexico found to date.
Also since Ice can be produced in small bathtub based labs, if the logistics network is not in place to move large amounts from the super labs to the consumers it can, and still is, produced in small local labs that again we regularly hear of being raided by the police.
In Australia in 2014, almost 750 small Ice labs were raided by the police in just one year and they believe that number will increase year on year. in 2018 a mega lab on an industrial scale was shut down in Adelaide. The Australian media is regularly calling the Ice use an “Epidemic” and law enforcement and Ice Rehab treatment centers are over whelmed with the numbers of people being arrested as well as people seeking treatment for Ice addiction.
