Abstract :
I read with interest the study conducted by Karrari
and colleagues regarding “Iranian crystal a
misunderstanding of the crystal-meth” published in
your journal.[1] In this study, the authors have
explained that the pattern of substances of abuse is
varied in different parts of the world, also in Iran,
and the main ingredient of street named drugs is
different according to city or country, for example
Crack is kind of cocaine, but in Iran is heroin that
may also contain amphetamine, ecstasy, and/or
corticosteroids with different amounts that make it
even more harmful than pure heroin or any other
drugs.
