Hope this helps a little. Is there a particular drug you are looking for?

I was particularly looking for methamphetamines (SP??). Your links are great, thanks!

What little I know is that with meth exposure, problems tend to crop up later in life, mostly learning disabilities, ADHD, that sort of thing. I looked it up for my own reasons the other day and couldn't find much, but I'll look again and see what I can find.
