speed
What is speed? Speed is amphetamine, a stimulating drug that triggers the brain’s reward system giving the user feelings of pleasure. Speed also goes by the street names “Ice, Crystal meth and Shabu” 2 The drug works using Dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is used in all matters of the brain from learning to attentiveness. However, the most prominent usage of dopamine is to incite the brain’s reward system. Dopamine is released in the brain naturally when people eat, drink and have sex. 1 Dopamine is released into the synaptic space in between the pre and postsynaptic neurons. Here is where speed comes in. Speed’s goal (Speed doesn’t really have a goal it merely exists, but this is the reason people use it) is to trigger a buildup of Dopamine. Speed first enters the Terminal Button in one of several ways. Speed is very similar on a molecular level to Dopamine so Speed can enter the Dopamine transporter or speed can diffuse into the neuron. The amphetamine then expels the dopamine out into the synaptic space. It does this through a process that forces the Dopamine transporters to go in reverse. Under natural circumstances Dopamine is brought back into the terminal button through the Dopamine reuptake pumps. These pumps do not work as well when speed is present in the brain and the Dopamine remains longer as a result. “Speed also inhibits monoamine oxydase A (MAO-A).”1 Speed also forces glutamate to come into the synaptic space. The result of this is dopamine will flow more easily. The effects people notice with amphetamines make it clear why the drug has earned the name speed. Speed makes everything go faster. When on the drug, which can be taken in forms of powder, pills and injections, “your heart rate… blood pressure and movements all increase in speed.” 2 It also makes sleep difficult. The size of the user’s pupils increase and weight loss becomes easier. While the user is “high” off the drug he or she can expect “to feel good, be more willing to take risks and be excited”.2 Speed’s long-term effects are for the most part similar to many other drugs. Speed causes depression, personal problems, anger and violence. Speed is also addicting. There is one more side effect that is more unique to the drug. This side effect is coined psychosis. Psychosis is a serious psychological problem. People that suffer from it hear voices in their head, become delusional and paranoid. Psychosis victims are known to see things that aren’t there and often feel that ordinary objects and people want to hurt them.4. In Requiem for a Dream a movie about the downward spiral instigated by drugs, An elder widow is prescribed diet pills, which are speed. When she becomes addicted she believes her refrigerator is trying to kill her.3 Amphetamines although possibly more enjoyable then other drugs also negatively affect you sooner. 3 Fevers, heart attacks and death are all possible results of the use of speed.2
The Urban Dictionary Mug
very good product, i drink my coffee out of it every single morning. a tiny little itty bitty problem i have with it though, is that every time i drink anything except for coffee out of this mug it barrates me for having bad taste. makes me very sad, honestly. i didnt know cups could talk, but appearently i have been proven wrong. i would really appreciate it if you could start double checking if your cups are possesed by melicous spirts who like to insult you! except for that, great product!!
The workmanship of the product was excellent, and packaging for your delivery of this fragile item, a coffee mug, was appropriately safe. Nice job all around. Thank you.
It's the best mug in the history of mugs.
love it
excellent customer service. i gave the wrong address and they got it here quick.
This was easy to order although I wish the preview pics showed the next on both sides once you finish customizing. But I appreciated that if the text doesn't fit they email you and ask what you want it to say. Came out great and I can't wait to give it as a gift
it was frickin good mug i liked it it was good I have never thought of myself as someone who drinks from mugs. After I drank from this mug, I thought of myself as a mug-drinker. It was magical. My entire life changed. I didn't know what to do with myself anymore. How do you follow up a lifestyle change? I went on a long walk. About 67 miles. Once I got to the Walgreen's I realized I could've just drove. But I didn't. I'm no quitter. Not with this mug. This mug gives me power, perseverance. You want this mug. Trust me. You want this mug.

I love How I can order a cup with one of my favorite words
Well printed, the mug's ceramic is of good quality, I'm not sure what else I can add. I am surprised it could be printed and shipped so quickly based on my earlier experience printing/kiln-firing/baking this kind of product. Well done.
Sent to a friend. He loved it!
I can't stop putting weird things on the cup I love this website 😆
Purchased this for my fiancé. One night watching TV, she blurted out the word "kaputnik." We laughed so hard. Never dreamed it was an actual word. Now, we know better. LOL
Sent a mug with DABNABIT printed on it to my Grandaughter for her birthday! She absolutely was thrilled with it! This is a saying I’ve used over the years a lot & we’ve always laughed about it! Ordered myself one too!!
Best mug I've ever seen honestly
looks great, came quickly, exactly as I wanted. minor observation - the coffee mug was a bit smaller than I expected. The mug is normal size, but most of my mugs tend to be a bit larger. No matter. I still enjoy it!! Perfect would have been larger - but that I my preference.
Bought this mug as a joke, the concept of there being a "magical one" was very funny to me. Great quality, I even feel magical myself.
Perfect!!
My nut hurts my nut hurts help
i bought this mug for my classmate and he likes it since its his crush name
Great mugs, great format, always fun to buy for friends!
