    the only ice i ever heard of was back in the 8o's and that was oven baked amphetamine.
    for snorting or hitting up ...very intense and long lasting speed buzz ...never heard of smoking it.

    I can tell you first hand that ICE is EVIL. I went to prison because I was so fucked up and in love with being high all at the sametime. It is very addictive and DECEIVING. Ice looks like crushed ice and most people smoke it-I did, but I also like eating eat. You can also shoot it and if your into pain snort a line. But take my BEST advice and never touch the shit.:angel:

    It depends where the 'ice' is from. In mainland America it refers to pure (or nearly pure) methamphetamine powder, this can be smoked and much like the comparison between cocaine and crack this makes it a lot more addictive.

    However, if you are talking Hawaii or some parts of the Far East then 'ice' refers to a different drug altogether, it is a liquid most times but sometimes a powder. I cant for the life of me think of its chemical name, its not technically an amphetamine but acts very much like one.

    I've heard of that, but i can't remember the chemical name for it...it's gets called Yaba though? Comes as pills or something.

    Yabba/Yamma/Nazi Speed/Crystal/Ice = Meth.

    Its not quite as simple as that actually. Yabba is the street name for small orange pills which normally contains methamphetamine but do contain a mix of amphetamines and on a couple of occasions contain morphine too.

    They are most of the time smoked but can be taken orally too.


    As for methamphetamine here, personally I think it will catch on here in pill form, but I cant see it taking off in powder form because it has such a bad reputation. I just think that pill form meth would really take off amoung ordinary pill users tired of mediocre pills.

    The only thing I can think would stop this is the length of the high, oral meth can last 12 hours or more, which could lead a lot of people not liking it.

    A mate of mine who spent a year and a half in Thailand said that he got his hands on plent yabba and it came in a powder form. I'd never even heard of it before.

    Hmm, well the normal 'yabba' is the small pills from Maynmar (Burma).

    Doesnt hugely surprise me that the term is also used for the powder too because most people assume that the pills are just methamphetamine.

    Interestingly I've read reports suggesting that the mix of amphetamines in the yabba pills may actually make them even more addictive than just meth.

    This page from Erowid.org on Methamphetamine may answer some of your questions, and this page may be of particular interest, as it is an Australian based question on what Yaba is and if it differs from Methamphetamine. apparently, "ya ba" means "crazy drug" in Thai.

    Quite a piss take really, the UN is thanking Myanmar for reducing its opium production and not exporting much heroin these days.

    But no big international comment seems to be made about the billions of meth pills they export.

    I guess it kind of proves again that UN drug control isnt for the whole world, just the parts that matter.

    Yabba is most commonly found as pills then. :chin:
    It looks as though they're probably similar in quality to our ecstasy pills aswell.

    Well they probably contain about 50mg or so, but thats really not the same as 50mg of MDMA, especially if you are smoking it.

    And, unlike with the pills here they go to funding one of the nastiest civil wars ever.

    Not really what I meant.

    I was suggesting that their Yabba pills probably contain all sorts of other 'goodies' in the same way ecstasy pills do.

    A bit late, but this is a peeve of mine

    Ice is NOT meth....at all...no no no no no...Due to the media confusing "glass" which is typically the clear white crystalline meth ya get from heavyily washed labs...versus the yellowy less clean of adulturants typical meth you may find about...anyhow Ice looks like glass, sorta in the real definition of the words, therefor, perhaps to the bright minds at CNN/ABC/FOX meth is glass is ice...they're idiots...for as long as I have known, I'm in SE U.S. right now, I have lived in the midwest and NE U.S. , ice is 4-methylaminorex, originally an appetite suppressent, but well due it's oversped qualities (very similar to meth) it was deemed not good for fat chicks needing to lose their weight via the cure in a capsule method...

    other names you'll find for "Ice" is Euphoria (or U4Euh)...

    sorry I felt the need to clear this up, it really DOES annoy me to hear people referring to meth as ice...(as a side note Ice is quite rare and it's heavily sought OVER meth, because they say it's a lot cleaner / and more euphoric than meth)

    That sounds like the same 'ice' which is pre-dominant on the Hawaian drug scene.

    I was quite curious about it and did think about trying to buy it when I was there, but the atmosphere in Hawaii doesnt lend itself to drug use, its a foul place, oppressive and scary.
