Describes how amphetamine (speed) works as a stimulant and hallucinogen, and examines the resultant effects. The text presents advances in action mechanisms, toxicity and psychopharmacology of amphetamine and its analogs and examines amphetamine abuse in the United States and Japan.

Much of recent amphetamine research has focused on action mechanisms which may represent a liability for abuse. The research further points to apparent psychopathological disorders induced or precipitated by such abuse. Understanding action mechanisms may aid investigations into the pathophysiology and treatment of these disorders. The overviews contained in this book, which cover myriad aspects of the chemistry, pharmacology, behavior, and toxicology of amphetamineand its analogs, can assist researchers by summarizing past findings and indicating new directions of study.
