Preparing crystal meth

For Injection

Crystal methamphetamine (crystal meth) can come in clear crystal chunks or shiny blue-white rocks. Also called ‘ice’, ‘glass’ or ‘ish’. It can be swallowed, snorted, injected or smoked.

Injecting crystal meth causes immediate and intense effects. The comedown and craving for more is also intense. This can also be the riskiest method of using crystal meth.

Crystal meth will dissolve with water. Always heat drugs to a boil to reduce bacteria and viruses. Allow to cool before injecting.
