釋義

甲基安非他命

強效且高度成癮的興奮劑

A strong, man-made chemical that sharply increases activity in the brain and the rest of the body. It is sometimes prescribed by doctors to treat conditions like severe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but it is much more commonly produced and used illegally because it creates an intense rush of energy and pleasure that very quickly leads to addiction.

用法筆記

Methamphetamine is the formal, clinical name for this drug. In everyday conversation — in news reports, TV shows, and casual talk — people almost always shorten it to meth or say crystal meth. Slang terms like ice, crank, and speed are also common but sound very informal or dated. Only use the full word methamphetamine in medical writing, formal journalism, court documents, or academic contexts.
