The other day I picked on the discussion about drugs with my friends. Little by little, we talked of the speed and some stated that they used it several times. I disagree with their habit (or if it’s not, it could become one), but could not confirm their curiosity if speed (amphetamine) can cause stomach ulcer?

Well, if your friends are concerned with their health as much as you are for theirs, you should warn them of the risk they’re taking. Aside from its addictiveness, speed strains the heart, and the actual ingestion of it carries its own risk. Ingesting speed damages the lining of one’s stomach, so you can expect stomach ulcers in some.
