there's no such thing as "metamphetamines". Presumably the word you're looking for is "methamphetamine", which doesn't begin with "meta". Although I suppose both "methamphetamine" and "meta" do begin with "met", but then, so do "metropolitan" and "meteorological", amongst a few others.
Also, FWIW: methamphetamine isn't crack. Crack is a form of cocaine. Methamphetamine is what's commonly referred to as "speed".
- belval 5y agoSince we're being pedantic, meth is not speed. Speed is a street name for amphetamines which aren't quite the same thing.
- saberience 5y agoSince we're being annoyingly pedantic, I would like to correct you and say "Metamfetamine" is a valid and used synonym for "Metamphetamine." https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Methamphetamine https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Methamphetamine
- Mandatum 5y ago> methamphetamine isn't crack. Other parts of the world started calling whatever drug was wreaking havoc in their country crack in the mid-2000s, likely as a result from hearing about "crack" from US pop culture. As such, meth is now called crack in Australia and New Zealand. Crack cocaine doesn't exist there.
