The effects of amphetamines

For three to four hours, users feel animated, over-confident, and full of energy.  Appetite and ability to sleep are adversely affected.

Some users may feel tense and anxious while using and afterwards many feel very tired and depressed. 

Amphetamines and the law 

Amphetamines are a Class B drug meaning it’s illegal to have, give away or sell. Possession of amphetamines can get you up to five years in jail or an unlimited fine or both. Supplying amphetamines to someone else, including your friends, can get you up to 14 years in prison or an unlimited fine or both.

When amphetamines are prepared for injection they become a Class A and can get you tougher sentencing if you're caught with it or selling it. Possession of a Class A can get you up to seven years in jail or an unlimited fine or both. Supplying a Class A to someone else, including your friends, could lead to life imprisonment or an unlimited fine or both.

Remember: Having a criminal record can make it difficult for you to get a job or visa if you want to travel abroad.
