Send us Fan MailOn this episode of Info On The Go, we dive into a fascinating and troubling listener request: What is meth, and where did it come from? From its origins in 1893, when Japanese chemist Nagai Nagayoshi first synthesized methamphetamine, to its widespread use in World War II, to its transformation into the dangerous and highly addictive drug we know today, we cover it all.Join us as we explore the historical, medical, and social impacts of meth—from its role in wartime performance enhancement to its devastating effects on the brain and body. We also discuss modern ADHD medications like Adderall and Ritalin, which share a common lineage with methamphetamine, and the ongoing battle against illicit meth production.If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, help is available.
