You may also hear crystal meth referred to as glass. It received this nickname because it resembles actual ice. Ice is a street name for crystal methamphetamine, which is an artificially formed drug that is made from methamphetamine.
It looks similar to meth when processed and doesn’t have any serious side effects. It is a supplement that is most commonly used to strengthen cartilage in the body. One of the most common additives used for cutting meth is the chemical methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). It is typically cut with adulterants that have no additional effect on users, instead, it just lowers the actual amount of methamphetamine in what’s sold. The meth that is sold on the streets isn’t cut in the same manner as other drugs like heroin and cocaine by the manufacturers. In other words, if they can by a kilogram of meth, cut it with a substance, and then sell one and a half kilograms, their profit is bigger. Dealers do this to increase the weight of the meth so they can make more money from selling it. At each step along the way, a dealer can alter the drug by “cutting” it, or mixing in additives. By the time meth is purchased by the person who intends to use it, it’s likely passed through many hands, starting with the actual manufacturer and then through various dealers. These additives can be anything from sugars to milk powders, to other drugs or substances – anything that looks like methamphetamine. With MSM, the crackback pattern tends to be more geometric, like a series of tiny squares or circles that are stacked one on top of another.The methamphetamine that is sold on the streets today isn’t just dangerous in itself, it frequently contains additives that can make it even more damaging to the body. Pure meth has a sort of fractal crackback pattern that originates from one point and shoots out. Whatever the additive is though, it will take longer for the ice to return to a solid state than if there were no additives, just pure meth. Additionally, when it does re-solidify, the patterns that are created will look different.
When it re-crystalizes, it will take longer if there is MSM mixed into the drug. When it is heated, as it melts, you will hear it making cracking and sizzling sounds.
Users that smoke crystal meth can often tell if there is MSM cut into the drug because the process of heating the compound and then the compound re-solidifying is somewhat strange.
