This study will give 17 healthy adults three different versions of methamphetamine to see how the body processes each one.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help understand how different forms of methamphetamine affect people, potentially informing safer use or new treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It measures drug effects in a lab setting, so results may not apply to real-world use or lead to any treatment.
