These are the exact same structure. The 3d meth should be reversed on one of these. I guess the question is, which one. Alphaquad 16:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I have canged the name to the more accurate name
I don't know what the original editor meant by "mimicks," but I doubt it was that word. ← BenB4 03:17, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

As far as the manufacturing of L-methamphetamine into D-methamphetamine goes, I don't believe this to be a practical method of producing street-grade methamphetamine.. The chemistry involved is unnecessarily overly complexed in that it would take far more effect to get the molecule to flip than it would to make meth via the traditional method.. Im not saying that it can't be done however I dont believe it should be included in the wiki-article..

The material in the paragraph under the heading "recreational use" reads too much like advice from Alt.Drugs.Hard if you ask me. I'd like to see some of the specific instructions and eager descriptions of the purported side effects to be tightened up. As it reads now, it seems to be suggestions there are few, if any, negative effects for tweakers looking for a cheap high who buy themselves a bunch of Vicks inhalers and then swallow the cotton. My guess would be they'd have a nasty bout of nausea and vomiting. I've used the inhalers as intended and I gotta tell ya, fresh out of the package, if you inhale more than you should, you can give yourself nosebleed. I wouldn't think swallowing those cotton inserts dripping with fresh camphor, menthol, lavendar oil and methyl salicylate would be very nice to a person's tummy!
So, any thoughts on the subheading's name and contents? I'm open to all views. LiPollis ( talk) 22:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi my question is using a Vicks inhaler is it possible to show a bad urane test for amphetamines ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.209.86.203 ( talk) 18:38, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
The article currently lacks any sort of physical description of the chemical. Is it a solid, liquid or gas? Is it colorless, white, blue, green, whatever? If it's a solid, is it a powder, crystal, or glassy, amorphous mass? This kind of basic stuff is usually present on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).— Quicksilver T @ 09:00, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I dispute the claim in this article that the Vicks Vapour Inhaler contains levomethamphetamine: I have a Vicks Vapour Inhaler, purchased in Canada, and in the "medicinal ingredients" listing right on the package, there is camphor, 41.53%, and menthol, 41.53%. There are no other substances listed. Is there some sort of local difference in the formula for these? This should be clarified or the statement removed. 24.222.87.186 ( talk) 19:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
The OTC form doesn't have Levmethamfetamine unlike the prescription form witch contains it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.97.253.174 ( talk) 16:17, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
I think that whoever used the study published in Nature about participants liking the drug was trying to be nice or neutral by calling the participants "experienced users" rather than the study's term, "abusers". I have no wish to condemn anyone, it is just that calling the participants "experienced users" is not accurate enough, in my opinion. My definition of "experienced users" would include people who need to take a drug on a regular basis for a chronic condition. These people have the potential to become abusers, but they should not be confused with abusers, for legal, moral and scientific reasons. People who need to take an addictive medication on a long-term basis can develop a tolerance, just like abusers, but as long as they take the medication appropriately, treating their condition rather than trying to get high, they are not drug abusers, even if their dosages and tolerances are high. In addition, as far as I know, there is no evidence that the results of such a study would be similar if the participants were legitimate, long-term users under the care of a physician rather than abusers. I believe that the person who made this contribution did not intend any of this confusion, and I welcome any future contributions that he or she might make (I did not check the article's history to track down the editor and determine gender). If you want to contact me for some reason, please leave a message on my personal talk page, rather than just posting a reply on this talk page. -- Kjkolb ( talk) 03:15, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
I think it is very confusing to refer to this as the "L-enantiomer" of methamphetamine. Uppercase L refers to the D/L system, not to the dextro/levo system. See Absolute configuration Sbreheny ( talk) 03:28, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
