At one point in my life I was buying weed from one specific street dealer. I remember that I ended up in a hospital because I was delusional, thinking people were following me. I also recall that I could not go to sleep at all. I ended up in the hospital and they said I was bipolar. In the discharge papers it said I was addicted to amphetamines. The only drug I did knowingly was weed from this one guy. So years later I figured out the weed was laced since they found things in m system. I just never could figure out if amphetamine depended meant I was doing meth? or if its two different drugs?

A 2 second google search turned this up: Methamphetamine is included within the class of amphetamines which are stimulants. They are very similar chemically but meth has a molecular structure that allows it to hit your brain more quickly/intensely than others in that class which is also why it can be more dangerous and addictive. It could be that drug test the hospital happened to use on you did not distinguish between them.

Well, yeah...isn't meth short for methamphetimine? I think that's pretty well known - but I guess you wouldn't have known about it being in your weed. I'm not sure how they came to the conclusion you were actually ADDICTED to amphetimines simply because you had some in your system and were obviously reacting badly to it.

Meth is short for methamphetamine, I know that. But my papers say "amphetamine dependent," I believe those are two different things, I am not sure, that is why I asked.

I do know that weed does not equal meth in no way, shape or form. One is a plant and the other an illicit drug made in a lab (I would assume). It seems you need to ask the people at the hospital about the bipolar and being addicted to amphetamines. How would we know? Are you those things? Why would they make it up?
