DO U DROP?

Amphetamines are psychostimulant drugs; therefore, they speed up the messages going to and from the brain to the body. The term amphetamine actually describes a family of related drugs with each having its own formula. ECSTACY, SPEED, and ICE all belong to this family of drugs. Visit the TaskForce DO U DROP website
