Had not heard of IV abuse, but have heard of people crushing it and snorting it. I guess other drugs have similar progressions (cocaine for one).

Amphetamines are very addictive. In a book 'Speed Society' (I don't remember the name of the author, they have it in New York public library) a study was quoted that found amphetamines to be at twice as addictive as heroin. Ritalin is notorious among addicts.

James here....

Very ill advised due to binders and others solid agents which you don't want to inject.
