  23. Yes, that would be methedrine and yes, crystal is generally accepted
  24. to be synonymous with methedrine (aka methamphetamine).  
  25.  
  26. Note: methamphetamine is one compound and thus should be referred 
  27. to in the singular.  The word "amphetamines" is sometimes used to 
  28. refer to phenylisopropylamines as a class (eg psychedelic amphetamine)
  29. although I recall Shulgin frowns on this practice.
