Amphetamine 

First developed and marketed in the 1930's as Benzedrine to fight narcolepsy, Amphetamines are now used to fight everything from Minimal Brain Dysfunction (MBD) to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

During World War II amphetamines were widely used to keeping soliders alert during battle, or on long patrols. It is now being used widely by anybody who want's to stay up late into the night, for example truck drivers, or students staying up studying.

In the past fifty years though amphetamine, or speed/tweek as it is known, has been used by drug addicts simply looking for another high. This could range from your average drug user to ravers who take speed with ecstacy to inhance the rush.

Some symptoms of amphetamine use are: restlessness, tremors, rapid breathing, hallucinations, panic, aggressive attitude, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartbeat fluttering, seizures, and pupil dilation.
After smoking all that speed, there is no way I'm going to be able to sit still.
