What it is

One of the most common forms of amphetamines is methamphetamine, or crystal methamphetamine hydrochloride, which is a powerful and highly addictive synthetic drug. In New Zealand, this is frequently called 'P' (short for 'pure'), crystal meth or ice. There are some differences in the composition or production of different types of methamphetamine like P or ice.

The appearance of methamphetamine is often like small shards of glass or crystal rocks. It is normally opaque cream in appearance but can sometimes have pink, blue, green, brown or yellow shades.

Methamphetamine can be made from commonly available medications. Methamphetamine can be crushed into a fine powder to be snorted. In this form, other substances such as glucose, sugar and bi-carbonated soda can be added to it.
