Methamphetamine

These are the exact same structure. The 3d meth should be reversed on one of these. I guess the question is, which one. Alphaquad 16:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I have canged the name to the more accurate name

[edit] Dubious

I don't know what the original editor meant by "mimicks," but I doubt it was that word. ←Ben^B4 03:17, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I was the original editor of the article. Levo-methamphetamine IS a sympathomimetic, which means it mimics the sympathetic nervous system, but "effects" could also be used. It does not really make much of a difference I assume. Thanks for cleaning up the article guys, as I put some effort into working on it and putting more detailed information (from a stub to an article.)  :D

As far as the manufacturing of L-methamphetamine into D-methamphetamine goes, I don't believe this to be a practical method of producing street-grade methamphetamine.. The chemistry involved is unnecessarily overly complexed in that it would take far more effect to get the molecule to flip than it would to make meth via the traditional method.. Im not saying that it can't be done however I dont believe it should be included in the wiki-article..
