Crystal Meth, also known as Crystal Speed, C, Piko, Ice, Crank, or simply Crystal, is the most dangerous drug of our time. It causes addiction at an alarming rate, damages the body and brain from the very first use, and is easy to produce from readily available chemicals, making it cheap. The transparent crystals of methamphetamine, which can be snorted, smoked, swallowed, or injected, have already taken a firm hold in Saxony, Thuringia, parts of Bavaria, and Austria. Two years ago, Crystal replaced heroin as the most commonly used drug among newcomers. In this first non-fiction book on the subject, addiction specialist Dr. Roland Härtel-Petri and journalist Heiko Haupt describe the devastating effects of Crystal, provide insight into the work of addiction specialists and street workers, and inform about the current situation in Germany through personal accounts.
