TeenWillHelpTeens answered Sunday October 8 2006, 6:08 pm: A type of methanphetamine that usually comes in small plastic bags with decorations on them called 'papers'. It looks like tiny crystals and can be snorted or eaten, but is usually smoked out of a glass pipe called a rose pipe (sold at some convinient stores and comes with a rose in them) or a lightbulb with the black part where you screw the bulb in removed, and a straw in it to catch the smoke, or sometimes smoked off of tin foil with a straw to catch the smoke and a lighter underneath. Usually doesn't effect the user the first time they use, but makes them feel very happy and speeds up their thoughts, but usually not their bodies as does crank.

Pure methamphetamine is a colorless crystalline solid, sold on the streets as glass, ice, or crystal. It is also sold as less pure crystalline powder called crank or speed, or in rock formation termed tweak, dope, or raw. Methamphetamine was first synthesized in 1919 in Japan by chemist A. Ogata.
What's in Crystal Meth (Methamphetamine): Crystal meth is created by cooking the ephedrine or pseudoephedrine found in cold medicines or weight loss aids. The pills are crushed into powder, then blended to a steady boil with other solvents like starter fluid or Coleman fuel. This creates a bubbly, sudsy chemical reaction.
The foaming white, crumbly residue can be smoked in a traditional, contemporary American crack pipe made from glass or ceramic -- or placed gently upon a small sheet of tinfoil, heated from below with a cigarette lighter and the vapors inhaled. If the end product looks more like crystals than powder, they can be melted over a spoon, sucked into a communal syringe, and injected into your bloodstream. If you just want to put it in your mouth and swallow, you have to wait fifteen minutes. A single dose of meth lasts for six to eight hours. The identical portion of cocaine would get you high for maybe twenty minutes.
