What it’s similar to Amphetamine is similar to Ephedrine, found in plants of the genus Ephedra. It is also similar to the body’s “fight or flight” hormone. It may look similar to Cocaine when in powder form

How It Is Used, What It Does Amphetamine may be sniffed, swallowed, snorted, or injected. It induces exhilarating feelings of power, strength, energy, self-assertion, focus, and enhanced motivation. The needs to sleep and eat are diminished.

The Crash After the drug wears off, the user experiences a “crash,” they enter an intense mental depression and fatigue. Unlike Cocaine, Amphetamine is not readily broken down by the body. Feelings are intensified. The user may feel like he/she can take on the world.
