Metamphetamine[1][2][3][4] is a pre-War recreational drug. Possibly the in-world equivalent to methamphetamine, or a simple spelling mistake.[5] It is also known by the slang term "crank", when it is referenced in conversation with Myron in 2241.[6]
The Nuka-Cola Corporation attempted to produce a coffee-flavored variant of its flagship beverage, that included experimental versions replacing caffeine with dextromethamphetamine.[7]

Renesco: "{490}{}{A CURE for metamphetamine addiction?! Ha! I only know two: one is death. The other is locking yourself in a cage for a year without Jet and sweat it out of your system. Hmmmph. "Cure," my ass! What nonsense!}"

Marjorie Reed: "{325}{}{You're a RESEARCHER...? Hmmmm. I've never seen you before. How much do you know about pharmaceutical research?}"
The Chosen One: "{327}{}{I know a fair amount about the composition and manufacture of base neurochemical compounds, and I think I could be of some assistance in your studies.}"
Marjorie Reed: "{345}{}{Hmmmm. All right then. Let me give you a run-down on what we do here: we test the effects and potency of a metaphetamine
called Jet.}"

"{25901}{}{Jet is a powerful metamphetamine that stimulates the central nervous system. The initial euphoric rush rarely lasts more than a few minutes, but during that time, the user is filled with a rush of energy & strength.}"

Myron: "{900}{myn129a}{How quaint. A cure. Sure. You go cold turkey. Course, I made sure that was a reeeal difficult option with Jet.}"
The Chosen One: "{903}{}{Myron, you're a pretty smart fella. Consider it a challenge. What would it take to make a cure for Jet?}"
Myron: "{910}{myn130}{Ah for fuck's sake, it can't be done, all right? It's a goddamn drug, not a bacterial infection.}"
The Chosen One: "{911}{}{It's basically a highly addictive meta-amphetamine, right? Couldn't you use a nervous system suppressant to break the addiction?}"
Myron: "{920}{myn131}{Nice try, no dice. Jet ain't blocked that easy. Once it's in your system, it ain't coming out.}"
The Chosen One: "{921}{}{What about using some kind of endorphin blocker? That would repress the chemical and psychological addition, wouldn't it?}"
Myron: "{930}{myn132}{Kee-rist. That has got to be the dumbest...hmmmm...}"
The Chosen One: "{931}{}{Well?}"
Myron: "{940}{myn133}{Well...maybe it would work, but I'm pretty sure Jet would just chew right through that shit. Now wh-wh-why the hell are we even talking about this?! Wh-where would you get your hands on endorphine blockers anyway?}"
The Chosen One: "{941}{}{You tell me, Myron. You're a bright guy.}"
Myron: "{950}{myn134}{Maybe Vault City. They have a pretty good medical warehouse. A lot of old pre-holocaust bases also used to stock them to prevent combat drug addiction.}"

Myron: "{690}{myn109}{Ah, Christ. Well...when I came across the Mordino family way back when, they were farming peyote cacti and trying to sell it to tourists as the 'Reno experience.' Total bullshit.}"
The Chosen One: "{691}{}{Go on.}"
Myron: "{700}{myn110}{I mean, peyote? C'mon. It isn't even half the strength of, say, old school LSD.}"
The Chosen One: "{701}{}{Uh, about the Jet --?}"
Myron: "{710}{myn112}{Plus, a peyote trip is too long. The profit's in fast turn around and high addiction. Like, uh, barbitutates before the Big One, y'know?}"
The Chosen One: "{714}{}{You mean barbiturates…like old school cocaine, crank, all that?}"
Myron: "{725}{myn113a}{Right. Can I finish? }"
The Chosen One: "{5725}{}{Fine, fine. What was the problem with making barbiturates?}"
Myron: "{726}{myn113b}{Problem is, in the new climate, we can't grow most of the veggies needed for the best drugs.}"
The Chosen One: "{728}{}{I'm with you.}"
Myron: "{740}{myn114a}{Couldn't grow coca plants, opium poppies -- and man did we try -- so we figured our best bet was shrooms. }"
