Abstract
Opium and opium residues have been used by Iranians
for centuries but methamphetamine (MA) is a newly
introduced psychostimulant drug in Iran, which
is characterized by highly addictive effects.[1] MA
which is colloquially named Shisheh in Iran has been
changed in to an epidemic health concern among drug
users.[2] There is a paucity of research on MA use and
dependence in Iran. Treating MA use and dependence
is a health priority which has not been fully addressed.
