Facts

Another fairly easy and legal (with a prescription) drug to obtain is Ritalin. For years Ritalin (which is the brand name for methylphenidate, a stimulant) has been prescribed to children and teenagers with attention deficit/ hyperactive disorder. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), between 1990 and 1995 the drug was prescribed six times more often than before to kids aged five to eighteen. That growth has brought with it a new rise in recreational use by high school and college students. The tablets, which can be crushed and snorted like cocaine, are easy to get because so many young people have prescriptions that they either share or sell. The drug is addictive and can cause strokes, high fever, or hypertension.
Near half of all drug related emergency room visits are due to cocaine abuse.
Injection drug use. People typically associate drug abuse and HIV/AIDS with injection drug use and needle sharing. HIV can be transmitted between users when injection drug users share "equipment"-such as needles, syringes, and other drug injection paraphernalia. Other infections-such as hepatitis C-can also be spread this way. Hepatitis C can cause liver disease and permanent liver damage.
A popular method of mixing meth with other substances is to combine methamphetamine with other stimulant substances such as caffeine or cathine into a pill known as a "Kamikaze", which is particularly dangerous due to the synergistic effects of multiple stimulants on the heart.
