How addictive is the drug speed?

In: Health, Medication and Drugs, Illegal Drugs, Addictions, Drug Addiction [Edit categories]

Answer:

Speed is not a drug. It is a catch-all term for central nervous system stimulants like amphetamine, methamphetamine, and similar drugs such as methylphenidate, and is occasionally used to refer to cocaine.

All CNS stimulants are addictive if used to excess, and the onset of addiction is rapid.
