History

Methamphetamine was first synthesized in 1919 in Japan by the chemist A. Ogata. The method of synthesis was reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine.

Methamphetamine is closely related to amphetamine, which was first synthesized in 1887 by Lazar Edeleanu, a Romanian chemist. Over time, the chemical’s use, distribution, and place in society has changed from insignificant, to controversially beneficial, to infamous.

Methamphetamine was later distributed during World War II by the Allies and the Axis to troops, under the name Pervitin[citation needed]. The Nazis widely distributed methamphetamine to their soldiers for use as a stimulant, particularly to SS personnel and Wehrmacht forces in the Eastern Front. Adolf Hitler received shots of methamphetamine from his personal physician, Theodore Morell.
