It's dirty due to illicit production methods.
Methamphetamine originated as a pharmaceutical (Schedule II in the US), so it does exist in a "clean" form.
- sigmaprimus 6y agoInteresting, I was not aware of that. My only experience with Meth has been interactions with long term addicts who are suffering horrible skin conditions and tooth decay. I guess it really isn't fair to call them gross and dirty, and it makes sense that those symptoms could be caused by poor chemistry.
- flukus 6y agoYou've probably had many interactions with meth addicts and had no idea they were addicts. As real as the skin conditions and tooth decay are there are still plenty of people that don't noticeably suffer in the same way because they have better hygiene and nutrition than the people you're thinking of who are probably homeless.
