Typically if someone mentions methamphetamines what comes to mind is the street drug ?crystal meth? and all of the negative connotations of a hyped-up, paranoid, often violent individual who uses it. However, what most people do not know is that there are TWO forms of methamphetamine: An illegal drug, Dextro-methamphetamine (D), commonly known as ?crystal meth?, and the legal drug, Levo-methamphetamine (L), which is a common therapeutic pharmaceutical. Until recently, it was difficult to scientifically distinguish between these two forms.
