What is the drug speed made of?

On the street "speed" is usually a generic term for either homemade or prescribed stimulant drugs of the amphetamine family (methamphetamine, dextroamphetamine, desoxyamphetamine, etc.) The most common "speed" is methamphetamine mainly because it is the only one that can be relatively easily produced illicitly by amateur chemists. Pharmaceutical-grade stimulants such as methylphenidate (Ritalin), which is quite potent, and modafinil are also referred to as speed but less commonly. Cocaine by itself is almost never called speed despite its unrivaled potency but when mixed with a powerful opiate such as heroin or morphine it yields the "speedball". Methylphenidate is also commonly used for this purpose.

What is the difference between drug abuse and drug dependence?

Drug abuse refers to using a drug for something other than what they're supposed to be prescribed for, e.g. using prescription pain medicine to get a high. It can also refer to intentionally taking more of a medication than what is prescribed, which can happen with almost anything.

Addiction is defined by tolerance, which causes the body to need more and more of the drug in order to obtain the same effect, and withdrawal, which causes cravings and unpleasant symptoms when the drug has not been consumed in some time.

Answer2: By the very term abuse means a person is already addicted in some way. A person can take drugs, legal or illegal and not become an addict. But once a person takes drugs to the point where the brain and body craves, needs, and depends on the drugs, that's the crossover to being an addict. I read an article that said, they used to be separately called drug abuse and drug addiction, but now the term is drug use disorder also called substance use or chemical use disorder. It's characterized by a destructive pattern of using a substance that leads to significant problems or distress.

It depends on the test used. A 3 drug urine test usually just checks for marijuana, cocaine, and meth.

The best thing to do if your worried about failing is to go to the E.R. and tell them you injured your back, and they will either give you a shot of hydrocodone or a scrip with enough to last a couple days then you will be good on your test, because they are prescribed to you.

It's impossible to know for sure, as if an underage person smokes they are hardly likely to admit it, in fear of their parents finding out. In my class in college there are five people under 18, and all of them smoke, but 4 of them deny it to my tutor even though she's seen them smoking. I also smoke, and am underage, and if someone does a survey I always say I am a non smoker.

How does smoking affect you socially?

Smoking can ruin your life in many ways. When teenagers smoke their relationship with their parents go south. Most parents do not approve of their children smoking and will do anything to prevent it but some children just do not listen. When most teenagers rebel from their parents, the parents start to wonder if they are actually doing good jobs as parents and maybe they are the reason for this sudden rebellious act. However, little do they know that it is actually the teenager's friends. Peer Pressure is the main reason why teenagers smoke. If you smoke, you score some cool points with other teenagers that smoke. However, there is always that one friend that actually has sense and tries to talk you out of smoking. You do not listen and usually that friend eventually gives up and you lost a friend that actually cared about you.
